Statistics Canada has over the last year shown that tourism to US from Canada is down by a lot and it's not getting better. Hell, as an anecdote, I keep seing ads on TV like: Come to Disneyland! We got rebates for canadians!

Edit, didn't realise it was this bad:

Las Vegas hotels are currently offering to take Canadian dollars at par.
I go to Disneyland nearly every weekend and the increase in foreigners is insane. Clearly a lot of people visiting that would have been going to Florida decided on California instead.
As a Floridian who owns a unit in a condotel [1]. The property management company is outright saying that tourism is down affecting income. All of the other owners who were dumb enough to buy them as “investments” are complaining.

We don’t care because we are the only people who live there mostly year round and only leave during spring break and the summer when domestic tourism is high.

It's probably not bottomed out yet, some of those trips were booked months in advance and not cancellable without taking a financial hit.
