(39,249 posts)the Canadians have fled selling off their winter abodes. Normally one would see the Maple Leaf flying there not anymore. These were people that lived there for decades.

(9 posts)Can't the US owned cruise lines dock in US Virgin Islands instead of FL and take more tax revenue away?

(6,297 posts)dock in the British VI and ignore the US altogether. That would send a message

(229 posts)While I agree with the premise and assume there are significant financial impacts in tourism all over the country, this video was basically an AI click bait and the equivalent of a phone-in psychic reading.

The Champlain border crossing is down over 25 % consistently from March through June.
This greatly affects our county and all Northern NY borders.
Let me be clear.
I would not visit nor support the US economy if I were Canadian.
Stefanik has said nothing.
She is such a coward.

(12,777 posts)to Florida. As a Canadian, I hope they have the resolve to not go back. DeSantis didn't care because they were leaving when they normally left and he was arrogant enough to think the snowbirds would return. Let's hope not!

(13,884 posts)Last fall/winter, the Canadian snow birds were already booked or here when he started his We Will Own You bullshit. Some left but many stayed to sell their properties and make other plans for the 2025/26 season. In the Keys we will feel it harshly, although I will whisper this only to you guys, a little less traffic during snowbird season will feel like a nice change. It has been LA level for a couple of years where its now difficult to merge into traffic to go to work in the mornings.

MAGA America really is a tribe of idiots.
Ive spent my whole life in two places that are tourist magnets (Hawaii and Santa Barbara) . Past college I never worked in the tourist industry, but my first husband worked at the Ilikai Hotel throughout our marriage, was in the union, paid into a pension, got great medical care with Kaiser for me and the 2 babies and knew that Februarys customers were Canadian.
Why would anybody in their right mind come back to a place where they were detained by ICE, looked down on by the locals, and just by turning on the TV could see the national government was turning fascist and literally trying to wall off the rest of the world?
Never lived in Florida, but visited an old friend there a couple of times. Were grandmas now, but met at the University of Hawaii , having both grown up there.

(6,097 posts)A lot of chaff to be separated but.
almost 11 months condo inventory is on the books. New condos are selling.
Flights have dropped at the time of the video by 15%
Canadians make up about 15% of the real estate sales in Florida, this will hurt.
People who don't own aren't coming down to rent costing small investors lots of money from rentals
Reasons, political,
Economic, insurance changes, weather issues, Canadian dollar has dropped and HOA fees have been climbing because of insurance and related issues.
