When I was young the USA seemed like this magical far off land where everything was cool and Disney and shit. Even as I got older it seemed like a good place to visit, amazing geography, great food, now I'm going to have to explain to my kids it's some kind of fascist hellstate and that's why we're not going to Disney.

Yeh. This is the dumb shit that their bases eat up. “Let’s look at data from the last 12 months, see they didn’t even boycott.” Ffs

They probably won't annoucce the new figures or do some creative accounting, just like their GDP. Will have to look at data from Canada side.

🤡

Almost all "Canadian" news media are now American News media.
They went on a buying spree of Canadian news outlets over the last 5 years or so

I'm honestly not really sure what they're trying to say because the statement tries to say two things at once.

“That’s not much of a boycott in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team actually looks like,” DeSantis said to applause.

Is it 3.3 million Canadians visiting isn't a large percentage of tourists or that many of us did visit despite the boycott? They're also omitting how long or how much was spent there, which may be fairly significant.

An estimated one million Canadian “snowbirds” – seniors and retirees who winter in southern states such as Florida and Arizona – inject billions in tourism spending during their months-long stays in the United States.

• Can't get the Globe and Mail to load right now, that's the snippet for the article in google.

At first I read that as hundreds of thousands for each trip, then wondered how behind the curve I was. Then realized I was further back than I thought for not reading correctly.

Disney sounded fun when I was a kid, as a middle aged adult I'd rather go to places with less large carnivorous reptiles and smaller crowds. In Canada in the 80s took forever to figure out the difference between Disney World and Land, I just figured Land was the only place. Also didn't help there is a Hollywood Florida I learned about then too.

Mike drop

Poor Mike. Was he holding the mic?

GF who visits Disneyland annually now no longer wants to go over the US government and Disney policy changes. Woops

Sometimes I wonder if I died and I’m in the bad place, or maybe I’m in a coma and my brain is running through dumber and dumber situations to try and wake me up.

There’s no way pee e pole can be this stupid, right?

Does someone need to sit this guy down and explain the concept of linear time to him?

What are they going to do about it? Not go! LOL! Now be good canadian cucks and go bring money to florida and then leave fast as just looking at you makes desantis so sick he wants to throw up.

Right? "Oh if you're boycotting visiting the US than why did so many of you visit last year before the boycott started, huh?"

I really hope that Canadians start selling their red state assets en mass. I used to live in Florida and about 30% of the snowbird's cars had Canadian plates. I got out of Florida, and Canadians should too. That place just doesn't deserve us.

That's the plan

Nah, of course he meant in 2024, and it has nothing to do with the ongoing boycott. Literally hoping people don't read passed the headline (which most of their base doesn't)

I know six people, so between the two of us that means an average of three Canadians a year go to Florida

I've been urging people not to visit Florida for ages due to their human rights violations. They've been a no-go state for trans people for years. They used to be their own category on trans safety maps, filled in black (unfortunately more states have entered that category since)

I cancelled a California and New York to see friends that I dearly miss. I told them I'll meet them on neutral grounds outside instead.

I know the amount of money I'll be spending is nothing in the grand scheme of things but I'm just not gonna do it.
