    And not just escape tourism. Business travel too.

    I may be just small potatoes, but my refusal to take onsite work in the US since the orange menace took office again has meant that 3 people who used to spend ~40% of their time in US hotels, eating at US restaurants, and paying US transportation costs, are now staying in Canada or picking up the pace with EU clients.

      And you can be certain you’re not alone. The “fuck usa” vibe is cutting deeper and spreading farther than most of us could have foreseen.

        Shit just keeps getting worse down there. Plus they sent the most ridiculous bag of farts as the US ambassador to Canada. This Hoekstra idiot is so foul that he has done more to unite Canadians than anyone except Trump himself. He is a serious contemder for most hated man in Canada.

      I told them right away to not send me to the USA again because I won’t go. I was the only one in the beginning but now I hear it more often. We don’t travel often for work but much less now. US co-workers are now coming up.
