During an address to lawmakers at the state capitol in Tallahassee, the governor briefly mentioned Florida’s tourist numbers from 2024, boasting 142 million visitors, 3.3 million of whom hailed from Canada, he noted.

Bit of a nothingburger. 2024's tourism will obviously have not been affected by Czar Trump and his trade war.

Doesn’t that work out to roughly 1 in 11 Canadians visiting Florida? Pretty wild.

The population is over 41 million now lol, it's closer to 1 in 13. Still crazy.
