Canadian snowbirds should avoid discussing U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida, Don Martin writes from Fort Myers in his weekly column for CTVNews.ca. In restaurants you get shushed by local guests if you raise Trump’s controversial behaviour within earshot of other diners. It’s much safer to discuss whether the local lagoon alligator is getting too big and needs to be relocated to the boot factory.

U.S. President Donald Trump gestures to car crews and fans in the stalls along pit road before the start of the NASCAR Daytona 500 auto race at Daytona International Speedway, Sunday, Feb. 16, 2020, in Daytona Beach, Fla. FORT MYERS, FLA. -- Here are the rules for happy Canadian snowbird-roosting in southwest Florida.If you absolutely must vent negative commentary about the U.S. president, make sure you’re talking to fellow Canadians.

Before rapidly swimming away from me, she coldly declared her support for Trump because, after all, The Wall would keep queue-jumpers out and welcome in people like her who followed the immigration rules. Oops. Maybe there’s a bounce in their step because residents just watched reports of the latest winter storm unleashing havoc across the northern states while they brace themselves for the horror of high humidity.

There are already banners hanging from beach bars and on random roadside businesses hailing Trump-Pence 2020: Keep America Great. Not far from my condo in a strip mall is the Lee County Republican Headquarters and Museum. It’s really just a meeting room with a few faded portraits of Republican presidents on the wall.

At the entrance to the headquarters, not surprisingly, there’s a life-sized cut-out of Donald Trump giving two-thumbs up.

Canadians hae no riight to criticize Trump while enjoying the warm weather....hypocrites

No more Canadian free loaders.

Why would you criticize a president that gets so much done. He’s a much better leader than our fake feminist and racist prime.

Solved the problem, don’t spend your money in US, dollar is really bad

The disappearance of free speech in real time. They’ll all be saluting him soon. What a disgrace this narcissistic Socio with no backbone is to a beautiful country.

CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT

You can afford to live in another country for the Winter. You choose to go to the state of Florida. = 99% you are a Trump supporter. or should be.

You're vastly overestimating the % of Canadians who can both afford to live in another country for the Winter and who would choose Florida with those who also have Trump derangement. Very little overlap in those categories.

4 more years! The Greatest President in history!

Get you TDS checked. Levels are very high.

Everyone now line up and surround Mar A Largo when he is there - And COUGH all at once...

I was on a river cruise with many Americans. Most were embarrassed by their president and even more concerned that our news covers his ridiculous behaviour

I’m in Florida as a snowbird from Alberta! I talk about Trump and all politics. No big deal!

If you are Canadian and don't support the President or how the country is run, Why would you go there? It's God's waiting room... Ahaha ahahaha.

How about we focus on those american protestors disrupting the peace in canada instead of this? We have a nincompoop Prime Minister whose stupidity put this country on hostage! Geez!

Trump is a leader and Turdeau? Well he’s not even a follower. He is a embarrassment for Canada and should never have been given a second chance in Government!It was the lowly East that put him back in power for a second term and now Canada is in a downward spiral because of it!!

Reminds me of Damascus, circa 2011

Who would want to criticize Trump? Ah yes, snowflakes not snowbirds

Ive held my tongue in Florida. It’s been difficult...but I pushed through.

With Global Warming and rising seas why would a Canadian want to spend Winters in Florida? And Yes Trump is a World leader-did you see his meet and greet in India-a far cry from Trudeau’s clown show

I have no desire to be in Florida for winter...or any other time.

Funny how cons cry and cry about communism but when actual examples of it occur they're god damn silent.

Probably a golden idol somewhere down there too

This kind of idolatry is among the many reasons I no longer go to the US.

Wow. Think how fucked up it is that a person can’t talk negatively about “The Great Leader”....in the United States?!

Considering the Democrat front runner is a Castro apologist and supporter, considering the huge numbers of Cubans in Florida, it is obvious Florida is not the place to be running around bad mouthing trump and pushing Sanders.

Been in Cali for a month and opposite here. We’ve had many Americans bring up first what a dotard Trump is in conversation. Course CTV being cons media not surprising they’re pro Trump when they were and are pro Scheer.

Don Martin: Fake News reporter...

A snowbird from Alberta in Fort Myers! And not scared talking about Trump or other politics!

Corrupt trugrope views ctv. They lie constantly to cdns and they think we believe them. Who uses wapo and cnn as sources? Might as well use national Enquirer.

Who would travel to a foreign country and insult its government?

?

Canadians living or vacationing in the US need to compare the state of both countries and changes in the past three years. To be Canadian in Florida enjoying the prosperity they should simply return to this dismal situation at home. Their* tawdry* criticisms are needed elsewhere.

In Arizona now. Very little talk of politics at the billiard hall. I see a few trump hats.

Yes, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a medical problem within the left-wing thinkers. They strike out as this bigot has done in this tweet. But also a left-wing TDS case ran his van into a group of seniors polling for the Republicans in Florida just a couple of weeks ago. Facts Don

Nothing worse than a foreign opinion, makes me throw up a little when my American friends tell me how great Trudeau is.

Why would anyone from 🇨🇦 want to go to Florida is beyond me. Are Americans gonna attack us if we don’t like trump? I love my country and will stay out of your till he is gone.

This is so Pathetic,I would not spend a dime in Florida

““He really is that tall” she gushed” I don’t know why, but that line got to me. I just picture a North Korean gushing over a stature of one of the Kim’s saying “how handsome”. It’s just... gross.

We’ve lost the ability for civil dialogue. Although, I have to say, that photo of you with “him” hurt my eyes.

We can’t throw stones

Canadian Snowbirds - should enjoy the warm weather and zip it!

Ol Don is from Canada's Trump-deranged MSM where bashing one of the most productive Presidents to hit the U.S. in a very long time is not only a sport, it's a way to earn a living. Any common sense seems outrageous when you're from that mentally disturbed state of mind.

I would LOVE to read the comments on a story in an American paper suggesting they should keep their opinions to themselves when visiting other countries.

One of the reasons I now refuse to go.....much better non-tRUMPanzee places to spend Canuck bucks!
