The Canadian travel advisories site claims that it is generally safe to travel to the US: https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/united-states

Frankly, I think they are bullshitting because of Canada's diplomatic position with the US.

    When was that last updated though? Cuz that a problem- a lot of countries are slow to updating that information especially when the country is still considered an ally legally through treaties

    Still the same.

    My observation is that the Canadian travel advisories site generally seems to be updated in a timely manner. Very soon after Trump's invasion of Iran, for example, multiple Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE, were marked as "Avoid all travel" or "Avoid non-essential travel".

    The fact that they mark the US as lower-risk than multiple European countries that I would consider much safer definitely lowers my trust in them, though.
