A Canadian man visiting Wisconsin for a golf trip was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting while walking back to his hotel, according to multiple local reports.
Police found the victim, Giovanni Michael “Mike” Robinson, 32, suffering from a gunshot wound around 12:08 a.m. local time on Wednesday in Sheboygan Falls, according to local police. Despite life-saving measures and medical attention, Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sources tell Global News that Robinson is originally from the town of Stouffville, Ont., and was a former player in the Ontario Hockey League.

That’s horrible.
Also, why would anyone visit the US at this point?
free bullets
No one wants to talk about golfer on golfer violence.
bringing a hole in one to new levels
BYO casing + powder but the slug is provided free and with fast delivery.
Shithole county
Yes. What a shithole country.
I’d personally like to leave the US but nobody wants someone with no money and no degree.
Don’t worry, three Masters degrees and I still can’t get call back.
3 master’s degrees is a red flag. It tells the employer you don’t really know what you want to do with life.
Try just putting only one of the degrees on your resume when you apply (the one most pertinent to the job). Same goes for past experience: don’t list everything, only list what is relevant.
Employers these days can get hundreds or even thousands of applications to a job posting. They filter these down to a manageable number with AI looking for keywords. Then they look through the remaining pile by hand to try to get down to just a few they can interview.
It’s easy to mess up a resume in a way that kills your chances of getting a job. One of the sure fire ways to do that is to clutter up your resume with irrelevant (to the job) experience or education.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll try to and edit things and see if it helps!
To get shot. Very exciting.
This type of killing is unusual. For all at know he owed money to less than moral people.
Wow, picking motives out of thin air today, are we?
Happens every single day in that shithole country. What are you talking about?
For losing a golf game? Maybe he was dealing the sweet Canadian fentanyl.
So unusual for a country that can’t go a single day without someone dying from gun violence. Yup, nothin sus about that statement.
Go to a shithole country and you might get shot, stay out of the US!
Shotholecountry
And they wonder why nobody travels to the US anymore.
It’s kinda weird. A few years ago, for work, I had to travel to Tchad. I was somewhat worried, but since I was staying in the capital and not straying away, I didn’t hesitate much.
I’ve always been worried to travel to the US. Back then it was mostly about TSA and the weird “are you a terrorist?” thing, but it did change slightly to “I’m not sure I’ll be able to come back in one piece”. Not a great look.
Just like you wouldn’t do a trip to North Korea or some war-torn country, you shouldn’t do a trip to USA in 2025. The country is currently in deep crisis with a rogue regime consisting of neo-nazi zealots & grifters and a big chunk of the population brainwashed by regime-supported propaganda on national TV (Fox News) and other random bullsh!t on proprietary social media, also radicalizing parts of the population. Plus they can all own guns legally. It’s neither a safe nor sane country currently. Sorry for the decent Americans out there but your situation is really bad and I don’t think you can turn this around non-violently anymore.
I would feel safer travelling to North Korea than USA.
I don’t think your risk assessment is very good.
I wouldn’t go to the US either right now. But, tens of millions of people have visited. A few hundred of those tens of millions have had incredibly bad experiences where they were locked up and then deported. Each one of those stories makes the news because it’s so shocking. It’s a few hundred people up from roughly zero.
North Korea only gets a few thousand western tourists each year, but cases like Otto Warmbier and Jeffrey Edward Fowle’s are pretty common.
There needs to be a genuine travel warning against coming to the us
Several countries already have them, Canada won’t extradite queer people back to the US.
There is from the Canadian Association of University Teachers. Since the summer.
A lot of countries have them.
warning?
There is no need to come to America. Nothing good lies in this direction.
But, and hear me out, what was his job description?
Did he receive a parking ticket in the last 30 years? Maybe he deserved it!
There are worse ways to go there…
As a former Wisconsinite, I’m not at all surprised.
GTA 6 has gone beyond VR, and has become Actual Reality.
You know, Canada should build some golf courses so people won’t have to travel down south to scratch that golf itch.
Canada is 4th for most golf courses per capita.
Usa is 10th
Nothing more American than misinformation.
It’s a joke, please don’t ban me. :<
What!? Canada has golf courses? Well then why did this asshat travel to the Nazi States of America when he could have just stayed home?
For the freedom. He’s very free now.

I do agree with you. But people also go for the warmer weather.
Ahh yes, famously warm Wisconsin.
Lol! -a wisconsiner
Just saying a general reason Canadian golfers go South to the US. Not specific to the story itself.
In september?
