I hope the Florida governor’s comments mocking Canadians spread far and wide. He’s saying 2024 tourism numbers mean there’s no boycott in 2025. We went there in ‘24. Definitely not going back this year.

Also, can't act like an actual human being if pointed with a gun. Vance will love facing him at the 2028 primary (yes, still think there will be one, because of *things*.)
Back when I was in a touring band, the panhandle of Florida was the worst place to be. You'd drive through it and think "Man, I can't wait to get to Alabama so I can get back to civilization."
Has he heard of reservations? People probably made those plans a year ago. But you can bet they won't make Florida plans for next year. For someone whose state relies heavily on tourism, he seems to know precious little about tourism.
Some people have family that live there (as I do). I was supposed to go down for Easter but have decided I won’t be going back for at least a year. Maybe our family will come back to Canada for the holidays.
My cousin lived in Florida for 25 yrs and was a dual citizen. Made her money and got out. Retired back to Canada just before Trump and DeSantis came in first time around.
She can rot in her high-heeled boots. We own a timeshare in Florida so travel their annually, but probably will just swap it or rent it for the next four years.
Florida has been off of my list of vacation spots for years. I'm sure they can still keep the doors open without me, but how they went for the felon and elect DeSantis, Scott, Rubio numbs the mind. Genius here thinks it's just Canadians. It's not and the Trump wannabe is going to find this out.
We took the kids to Disney World when they were younger. But we’re not giving any tourism dollars to red states where my wife and our LGBTQ kids become second class citizens when we cross state lines. Florida has nothing to offer our family.
3.3 million people there for say two weeks spend....oh let's say $100 ea per day (could be more, could be less) in lodging/ food/entertainment. That's 4.6 billion of revenue lost.
He’s just a short fat, stupid white guy with a big mouth. In a couple of years, he’ll be out of work and nobody will give a shit. Somebody should ask him what it’s going to be like being the answer to a trivia question for the rest of his life.
I visited it 10 years ago, literally in Trump's backyard, and found it surprisingly nice then even is some issues were very visible. But I've heard it's gotten worse since.

The boycott will hurt.
Grant it, this was early morning, but this is not normal.
At all.
Go ahead and laugh, Governor DeSatan.

Call out DeSantis directly. This little twit is an embarrassment to #Florida
Brilliant.
Their governor is a dickhead.
What are you gonna miss? The invasive pythons? The people selling meth out of a General Lee? Florida is replaceable.
You don't need Florida.
If it’s any consolation, I didn’t vote for any of this or them.
