Why does this guy think it is crazy. The US has literally threatened Canada’s sovereign. AND masked vigilantes are busy kidnapping people at gun point off the street.
Was just visiting a friend in a retirement community in Florida. There are a bunch of units up for sale in this popular community. My friend said, alot of them belong to Candians. They are outta here. Who can blame them.
We used to drive down to Indiana every year (sometimes twice a year) to visit our elderly relatives, who we jokingly said were the 'only Democrats in Indiana'...
They both passed in the last couple of years. I'm so glad they're not here to witness what is happening 😔
When Dubya (Bush Jr) was in, they were devastated ~ my cousin would send them political jokes/funny cartoons and they'd say 'We can't laugh about what's happening.' They thought HE was the nadir. If they had lived to see what's going on now, they'd be destroyed 😔
While I appreciate the encouragement, the US isn’t really worried about people’s rights lately, and the wheels of justice are almost at a stand still. Plus the dollar sucks, so there’s that.
I think there is a 10% decline— fear of how they will be received, fear of the border going back, etc. But on the flip side, we’re seeing a $h!t ton of Europeans Aussies etc so that’s awesome! ❤️
And safer. Canadians are a diverse people originally from many of the countries targeted by Trumps illegal and untrained bounty hunters. The World Cup and Olympics will be a shit show of human rights violations if not moved to other countries.
Indeed. Sometimes, I think even we forget how diverse we are as Canadians. Facebook comment sections are rife with racism these days and complaints of "too many" "Indians" or "Africans" or "Chinese", but we are all Canadians. Too many Canadians in Canada is what they're all whinging about.
yeah.... 'crazy' how Canadians aren't interested in being beaten and abducted by unidentified thugs in masks, lacking any documentation, taken places unknown with US claiming not to know where.
The 71% decline in tourism is only a projection, from last March. It doesn't mean anyth—*𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴* Oh. Oh my… And when do Canadians normally go on vaca—𝘞𝘏𝘈𝘛? AFTER May? You mean IT DOESN'T EVEN ACCOUNT FOR NONESSENTIAL SUMMER TRAVEL? Goddam.
The single craziest thing I've ever seen is the US president threatening a peaceful ally & neighbour who has helped them many times. Our Cdn response (not visiting the US it is now a fascist authoritarian state) is very logical & reasonable. Why did it take USians this long to realize this?
And cruises. People are forced to US ports, but they are just passing through--something we won't even consider. Can you imagine spending $1000s for a cruise only to have Trump's thugs mess up your plans?
I’d love to see pure vacation travel numbers (ie, not due to business or family obligations or those connecting to other destinations including cruises). I also know two people who went down to sell US property.
I believe it. We live in an area frequented by Canadian vacationers. Anecdotal evidence- license plate sighting are few and far between. With Canada Day approaching, this next week will tell the tale.
Worth noting that a lot of CA->US air traffic is layovers, for traffic to have dropped this much suggests that Canadians planing trips for third countries are willing to accept longer trips, more expensive tickets, and lower-budget airliners with worse amenities to avoid the US.
The $12billion in losses for US businesses are quite impressive too.
Flights from other destinations, Europe, UK, Asia, are down too, not so dramatic but still billions.
Trump said he didn't need us. He made sure ICE showed they don't want us. Dude forgot that his "trade deficit" doesn't include all the money we pump into their tech firms and tourism industries.

Time for a reboot of the Sex Pistols classic. Call it ‘I don’t want a holiday staying with ICE’. https://youtu.be/2Ah1JM9mf60?si=g01wVRapbj8eFeDo

Zero good reasons to spend your Canadian dollars in the US. #tourism
