As a Canadian, most of those people stating this, are broke and can't afford to travel, so the anti Trump thing is a face saving excuse.

Just a observation from my personal life, my friends who aren't broke, are still going to Florida, etc.

The ones I know that have money stopped going there and went further south or in Europe.

Some even go as far as booking a trip to Europe for a music concert instead of going to the US.

The line between "it's expensive" and "the current situation in the US sucks" is blurred.

90% of Canadians live within 100 km of the U.S. border, it's not much different than traveling elsewhere in Canada.

Granted, as someone who lives ~40 km from the border, I'm broke and can't afford to travel, but I'm also avoiding the U.S. and have been further than 100 km from home on a number of occasions in the past year.

Ridiculous take that Florida is expensive like it's some kind of luxury trip.

Florida was always a budget option for us. It's always been a quick, easy (you can drive), low risk break to get away from the cold. I just don't feel like dealing with CBP and random MAGAs right now to be honest. Wife is low-key stressed about the idea. I mean at best it's a hassle... so why bother?

yeah dude people definitely just stopped being able to afford going to Florida when Trump decided to turn his back against it's closest ally
