and pumped the Canadian economy. This country was draining money on US vacations for too long.

And apparently Americans were upset at you for spending all that money down there, considering all the threats and general douchebaggery you've had coming your way recently.

Many years ago, even before all this was happening, I made a comment about Disney (I forget what it was but I don't think it was even negative) and got told by someone on Facebook that it was none of my business because I'm Canadian and Disney is American. Does Disney not want my money because I'm not American? Why do they sell stuff worldwide?

Funnily (if not infuriatingly) enough, they're also begging us to stop the mass boycott on US goods and services, particularly liquor. Rules for thee but not for me, as they say.

Surprisingly, that was not the conclusion of the data.

According to the article, the decrease in spending on American tourism was equal to the increase in spending on other international tourism. I thought we were "Elbows Up" traveling more in Canada, but apparently not?

I've mostly been around the western half of the country, but even with that limitation there is a lot to see. We are really blessed with natural beauty.
