The headline is out of context. He first noted that Florida had over 100 million tourists last year, the vast majority domestic. In other words, he thinks 3 million is too *small* to worry about.
He's still an idiot, but not for the reasons people here think.
He's SUCH an ass. The felon has only been back in office for just over a month. A lot of people probably already had plans that they couldn't or didn't cancel. Does he honestly think talking like this will get any others to book now? Did he forget what a huge role tourism plays in the FL economy? 🤦🏻♀️
Cdn snowbirds pump an estimated US$6.5B into Florida’s economy each year and this loser mocks them? Ok… let’s see what those numbers are next year! #BoycottUSA
LCanada and the United States agreed to replace an “ad hoc” approach to helping each other battle forest fires with a formal agreement Thursday that spells out a plan to more efficiently share resources and expertise across the border."
Precisely wait until the Scandinavians, French, Germans and Brits get onboard too. Trump’s troop of shaved monkeys have pissed off almost everyone they depend on to buy their chintzy crap.
Mickey Mouse may have to take some shifts lapdancing to make ends meet.
Telling all my friends that I'm not visiting red states for the foreseeable future. And if I drive through them, I'm not spending any money while driving through.
None of them believe anything matters until the frying pan of consequences slaps them across the teeth. I hope Canadian boycotts make them sob in Tallahassee.
Florida brings sunshine and a bit of warmth to snowbirds. Expose yourself to racist, violent, fascist, intolerant and uneducated people... Republicans. It will be very easy to find better believe me.
I listen to the CBC. They interviewed a couple of Canadian snowbirds last week who reside half the year in Fl. They love their summer homes but are thinking of selling and going anywhere else.
Apparently most people they encounter are apologetic about the fascism but even so.
This hotel owner is competely out of touch, but it's a good example of how the average American is still consindering this a joke, Canadians aren't laughing.
FAFO... Hope Cdn boycott doesn't extend to utility trucks that stream south from the Great White North after increasingly frequent FL hurricanes... (What a miserable excuse for a leader -- and a man.)
When did fighting Canada become the new culture war? Apparently they are getting bored with CRT, DEI, Trans rights so let’s see if we can fight the nicest population of people on the planet? 🤯
The US only covertly attempted to topple democracies in the past. The rag is now off the bush, and the true face of US aggression is exposed for all to see.
Why Canada? Maple-syrup sucking beaver-loving hockey fans: easy to underestimate. Bullies never go after people their own size.
That ship sailed when tariffs were introduced: beach vacations in Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica… anywhere but the US.
Used to be, 20 million border crossings by road every year - watch that number for 2025.
I said "if". If they don't want to vacation here at all, I don't blame them. But I'm assuming some of them may still prefer to go to an English-speaking country that's culturally familiar, they don't have to fly to get to, etc., and if they do, they should avoid red states.
Unfortunately, while we have nothing against “good” Americans, you guys just declared war on Canada.
It’s too bad that there will be, as you folks euphemistically put it, “collateral damage.”
War is Hell. But you started it.
We (blue state Americans) didn't. Mangolini did. Do what you need to do to defend your sovereignty, but do try to remember that tens of millions of us are on your side and not his on this.
Yes, we know. But when we started bombing Germany in WWII, the bombs could not differentiate between “good Germans” and Nazis.
If you don’t want war with Canada, it’s up to you to exert pressure on your government - we’re doing our best up here, but we can’t save you from yourselves.
That's always pretty poor insult, because everyone who follows hockey knows those SC winning teams are full of Canadian players, even if the team might be from Usa. It's typical insult from someone who don't follow ice hockey.
lol you’re right. Last year the panthers had more Canadian players than Americans. Also, I’m so sorry Canadians. Here in Broward (the panthers’ home) we hate Ron. Ours is basically the only liberal county left in the state.
Love being the governor of a state that heavily relies on tourism, openly antagonizing millions of tourists from a country my government is threatening to invade, right before the economy is about the run straight into a wall
part of me would love to see either an Eastern Conference final between the Maple Leafs vs Panthers/Lightening or a Finals with one of the Florida teams vs a Canadian teams because of this
It's so cute that he has no idea how many foreign tourist dollars his state is dependent on. Does he think the boycott ends with Canada? Because something tells me tourist traffic from the UK and Europe is about to dry up, too. Just a wee hunch.
My parents live in a 55+ golf community that is about 50% Canadian snowbirds. There are 2 flags flying at the entrance: the US & the Canadian flags. Same for the community right down the street.
Yes, I suppose all those people who visited LAST YEAR would not constitute much of a boycott, no. Let's see what those numbers look like this year though.
Over five decades a Canadian, been all over the US . I’ve never had the slightest interest in visiting Florida. Always seemed like twee racist paradise
they're going to force me, a lifelong (literally I was watching playoff hockey with my aunts & uncles at like 4 or 5 years old) Red Wings fan, to root for a Leafs Stanley Cup oh my god I fucking hate this country
LMAO meanwhile DeDicktis has become so unpopular as Florida's governor since his failed presidential candidacy that some of his own party members have turned against him 🤣

Let me stop you right there.
If the MAGA GOP has shown us anything, it's that they do not think actions have consequences.

Good luck, Ron!
He's still an idiot, but not for the reasons people here think.
DeSantis about to tank his state economy and I'm going to laugh.
But I don't think he's fully considered the consequences.
And take the CAD back with you
Where it came from on that day 🎶

Not sure why.

For the same reasons the MAGA crowd do, it's gross.

We love to help the citizens of the States, but with the breakdown in mutual aide, that tradition may well be a casualty 🙁
Elbows up!🇨🇦

If Canadians want to take American beach vacations in the future they should go to any state but Florida (well, not Texas either, it also sucks).

Wars hurt people, but that’s what the US has chosen.
look at this stupid bull, he misses every time I pull the red cloth away, I am gonna do a little twirl on this next one
what are you gonna do, stab me?
But overall I agree w/ya.
