I drove from Missoula MT through SW Canada to Haines Alaska with my 19 year old Godson during May to get him and his Subaru to his summer job. Except for a little doom scrolling at night, we were away from US media (CNN and CBS) for nearly two weeks. Canadians were empathetic and extraordinarily kind to us.
Upon reflection, those two "unplugged" weeks were incredibly restorative. Apparently relief from the burden since 2015's escalator ride was more essential than I realized. Doing the return drive through those gorgeous Canadian Rockies in August, not sure if their raw beauty or respite from the political discourse is the greater attraction, but I know I'll be better for it.
So enjoy your break, think, sleep, eat, pray and know we'll be ready to continue the good fight with you upon your return. Peace, friend.
I'm so happy you spent part of your time in my backyard, the Canadian Rockies. You are most welcome in Canada. As you said, we care about our American friends (except the MAGAs). Please pass on to your friends Canadians welcome you here.
Your people and your country are splendid! So looking forward to returning, though this is a marathon drive to get James back to University of Montana. Definitely planning a longer trip as soon as possible. A friend told me, "The Canadian Rockies are just different." Truer words never spoken.
Last year I took a train ride to Glacier National Park. Relaxing, carefree, gorgeous scenery, friendly people, and huge natural reminders that Trump doesn't control everything if we don't let him. This too shall pass with the help of our neighbors.
OH GOD! Me toooooo! I have loved Canada and Canadians for many, many years! I moved up to far NW WA State back in 2010 from Santa Fe, NM so I could be close to Canada and I love it!
I grew up and lived on an island a ferry ride across from Seattle, and spent a lot of time in British Columbia Canada. It's such a beautiful country and the people are just lovely. 😊
I have a tee (which you've probably seen) saying Dear Canada: We Hate Him, Too!" Thanks for your & your fellow Canadian's understanding that this too shall pass... All those millions in the streets last weekend were certainly uplifting for us; hope they were for you guys, too!
You deserve a vacation so have fun. Next, I really admire the fact that you take care of your dad and put his well being first. I looked after my mom for 25 years, yes there were many sacrifices but she passed at 98 and always remained at home with me. I have no regrets. Most men don’t step-up, feeling that the daughter somehow carries it all so I really like seeing you taking care of your dad. You’re a good man Jim Acosta.
I really enjoy your show and like that you humanize yourself with your dad and, of course, Duke.
Enjoy your vacation/mental health break, Jim. We all need to take care of ourselves these days. Duke and his posse look adorable in their patriotic scarves! You can never have enough dogs in your life, that's my motto!
Get some rest and recharge, Jim! We need you in this fight. Your courage and honest reporting make it easy for me to listen to you and believe what I hear. The US has become a foreign land to me … I am 73 and very active. I want our country to continue striving to be that beacon of hope around the world. Enjoy some time away from the phone!
Jim, it’s an online law that you HAVE to exploit pet photos! 🤣 We love seeing Duke, and hearing him. Enjoy your restful and hopefully fun vacation. We will look forward to your return and new discussions.
Pull together all the progressive podcasters and start a cable network. Bloomberg or some other billionaire can finance it and it will deliver content more conveniently to us who subscribe to all of these substacks. And woof to Duke!
Keep up the good work sir!!! You’re an inspiration to me to keep fighting. I look forward to all the exciting work you’re doing that you mentioned here and will pass on your words of encouragement to friends and family! 🙌🙌🇺🇸 P.S., Duke is always an added bonus!
In your defense your audience requests Duke sightings as part of the content!
We love Duke! Have a great vacation. We will be here when you get back.

I really wish Canada would adopt some of us! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Hey Jim,
You deserve a vacation so have fun. Next, I really admire the fact that you take care of your dad and put his well being first.

Appreciate you, enjoy your time off!

Thanks for letting us know Jim. I hope your Dad’s ok and that Duke has a good time with his Pals
Take a break and come back refreshed. And think about Olivia Troye’s suggestion.
Jim, it’s an online law that you HAVE to exploit pet photos! 🤣 We love seeing Duke, and hearing him. Enjoy your restful and hopefully fun vacation. We will look forward to your return and new discussions.
Aww, those sweet doggos. Duke is going to have a blast!
Enjoy your well-deserved break. Your show has been such a breath of fresh air, and a bastion of truth and honesty.
Can’t wait to read your book. Loved your first one.
🏖️

Dogs should run the country. They're smarter and a lot more fun than people. Have a great, restorative, vacation.
Dogs are such good judges of character. And there's Jim with three of them. Have a great vacay, Jim!
Enjoy your much deserved downtime @jimacosta
Have a wonderful vacation!
I love seeing Duke. He is going to have so much fun. And when you get back, he will probably sleep for a week after having that fun!
