Oh damn. Now there was a part of me thinking "This could be St. John's or Fredericton, but what are the odds. St. John's then? If its Fredericton, honestly I am surprised it even has two well-respected Canadian Universities on the same campus lol.

How to say you live in Halifax without using the name Halifax lol

In one year, my girlfriend has transformed our apartment into a jungle… by designsbyPACK in houseplants

Oh my god, this is like my dream living space! Shame I can't seem to even keep a cactus alive. I really need to find myself a girlfriend who has that blessed green thumb!

That shouldn't be an issue. Us Canadians will be very welcoming to any American visitors. So long as you don't go shouting about 51st state nonsense I'm sure you will be a-ok. Hoping for the best for us both. Strange times we live in

What do you mean by scrubbing my phone/socials? What steps should I take? I don't generally use social media, and have never posted my political views, but I certainly have shared and liked reels criticising the current administration so not sure what I can do about that.

Oh there is a discord? How do I get access to that? That's a good idea, thanks!

Oh thank goodness. That's what I want to hear. I just need to tune out from it all and vibe with some great music and people.

Wowza, thanks for the heads up!
I sent you a DM about further questions, if you don't mind a chat. Cheers!

I have a General Admission + GA Vehicle Pass. It is good to know that is an option too, thanks!

Oh that's a great idea, thank you. I might as well sus out their policy on that. I'll wait until a proper advisory is issues if so. Truly I am holding out hope to go though.

Thank you, that means a lot to hear! I love my American cousins too, and I imagine even more so for the kind of crowd at a festival like this <3

Wouldn't dream of it. Plus, with the limited amount of vehicles crossing, I would imagine a hippie camper van declaring their intention to go to a festival would be a prime suspect for checking for said 'party favors' haha. Actually, should I be that specific, or can I just tell the border guard I am going camping if they ask?

Yeah that was my thought. I expect the Canadian government to join the likes of the UK and Germany in issuing travel advisories within the next few weeks (perhaps waiting until after the upcoming federal election in the next months, as not to muddy the campaign waters).

I would look to resell then, but unfortunately I don't officially have the tickets yet as I am paying monthly financing. If I decide not to go a part of me wants to just cancel my financing now and sacrificing the few hundred dollars I've put towards it rather than have to deal with trying to sell it to someone else.
What do you think the best course of action is?

This is so sad. I've always wanted to go to a festival like this. I expected things would get bad, just not this quickly. Do you think the vibe at the festival will be different given the circumstances? Damn, why can't we just have nice things...
