    They are red. I feel for Yukon. Never fun to lose friends. Especially when they are neighbours too.

    Yeah, our closest ocean access is Skagway or Haines and with everything happening a lot of people are cancelling summer trips or changing destinations. A lot of the folks on the other side of the border are great, but it's tough to justify supporting American right now.

    Having visited Dawson City, Yukon last summer, if the locals I talked to are anything to go by, they are too. They hated Trudeau, and hoped the US would elect Trump. Welp, they got what they wanted and now are finding out.

    What in the world are you referring to? Certainly not the article, which has absolutely nothing to do with this.

    Over-border detentions by ice and border patrol between Yukon and Alaska. That was what the article was about.
