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.

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

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. https://globalnews.ca/news/11075088/canadian-snowbird-couple-parting-ways-with-u-s-amid-political-climate/ https://globalnews.ca/news/11075088/canadian-snowbird-couple...

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?

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.
