**For Canadians Visiting Myrtle Beach, Trump Policies Make the Vibe Chillier**
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina—once a sun-soaked paradise for Canadians seeking refuge from the Great White North—has recently turned into a frosty reception thanks to the lingering effects of Trump-era policies. As Canucks flock to the sandy shores, they’re finding that the only thing chillier than the Atlantic breeze is the atmosphere created by the former president’s policies.
“I thought I was coming here for sunshine and relaxation,” lamented Timmy Maplewood, a 45-year-old Canadian tourist sporting a maple leaf tattoo and a “Sorry, Eh?” t-shirt. “Instead, I’m getting side-eyed by locals who think I’m here to steal their jobs… or their poutine!”
Local businesses, once thriving on the influx of Canadian dollars, are now struggling to keep up with the new vibe. “We used to have a ‘Welcome, Canadians!’ sign,” said Betty Lou, owner of Betty Lou’s Beach Bites. “Now it just says, ‘Keep Your Tim Hortons to Yourself!’ I mean, I love a good double-double, but I didn’t think it would lead to a diplomatic incident!”
In a bizarre twist, Myrtle Beach has even seen a rise in “Canadian Deterrent” measures. “We’ve installed ‘Eh-Stop’ signs at every corner,” said local mayor Buck “No More Maple Syrup” Johnson. “And we’re considering a ‘Hockey Puck Tax’ for anyone wearing a jersey. It’s for their own good!”
Meanwhile, Canadian tourists are trying to adapt. “I’ve started practicing my Southern drawl,” said Maplewood, who now introduces himself as “Timmy from the South, y’all.” “I even bought a cowboy hat. But I still can’t figure out how to order a ‘moose burger’ without getting weird looks.”
As the summer rolls on, it seems that the only thing colder than the ocean water is the reception for our friendly neighbors to the north. But fear not, Canadians! As long as you keep your “sorrys” handy and your hockey sticks at home, you might just survive this chilly Myrtle Beach experience. Just remember: when in doubt, bring a beaver as a peace offering.
