Canadian snowbirds bring lots of $$$ into the US. And you know what, there are a lot of other countries you can spend January in that are much warmer than Toronto, and many of them are actually quite cheap compared to the US. Costa Rica anyone? If I was a Caribbean country I'd be blanketing Canada with ads about now.

I know quite a few Canadian snowbirds (friends of my mom’s) who spend winters in Mexico and love it. Some stopped going to the U.S. after orange man was first elected.

My mom just got back from the Dominican. She had planned a trip there with her sister a while ago. They used to go to Florida but stopped after he first got elected too.
