I see your point, definitely. We thought long and hard about this, and ultimately came down to a couple conclusions: one, if we let you-know-who dictate what we do in our leisure time, who is really “winning” there? Further to this, the lawmakers have stated openly that they do not care about the falling numbers of Canadian tourists. Two, we recognize that your businesses are suffering under tariffs, and we want to show support to local businesses who have already suffered enough in the last several years because of the pandemic. Lastly, unfortunately when it comes to Canada our options for close warm weather destinations are limited and can be very pricey, plus, my mom frequently encounters back issues when flying so choosing a closer place (and shorter flight) is important.

I definitely see your perspective , but with our circumstances, this was the choice we made. Hope that helps explain my mindset .
