   Hey Canadians:

   I just heard about two Canadian friends of a friend who were driving into the US

   the border agents demanded they unlock their phones; the agents searched the phones, found anti-Trump stuff on one ...

   ... then confiscated that phone and neither person was allowed into the US

   These folks weren't activists or anything -- the search doesn't appear to have been triggered by that

   so, govern yourselves accordingly

     @clive I already hear that Maine coastal rental businesses are seeing 90% of their Canadian visitors cancel summer plans, threatening the survival of their business. We all blame Trump, but many will not acknowledge it in public because of fear and shame.
