    Trump turned a little more orange, but he's not brown. He's exactly everything they voted for.

    Absolutely no matter how you look at it. You support a racist party and you are either complicit or ok with it. History will look back at it accordingly.

    Phone data reveals 42% drop in Canadian visits to U.S. last year

    Toronto — The neighbors just aren't visiting the way they used to.

    A study by the University of Toronto suggests a roughly 42% reduction in visits to U.S. cities by residents of Canada last year. The drop much steeper than official border crossing statistics suggest is largely attributed to mounting political and trade tension between the two countries.

    By tracking cellphone activity, University of Toronto researchers found "a year-over-year median decline of approximately 42% in Canadian visits to U.S. metropolitan areas."

    According to official statistics, the number of Canadians who entered the country after returning from the U.S. in 2025 was down 25%, while the number of U.S. residents visiting Canada dropped 75%.

    According to the study, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, saw the biggest drop, with some 65% fewer Canadian residents coming home from the East Coast vacation hot spot. Yuma, Arizona, saw a 62% decrease. San Francisco and the Florida cities of Miami, Palm Bay and Panama City were among the other top 10 U.S. metro areas where the data indicates a more than 50% drop in visiting Canadians last year.

    The study's authors say, aside from the evident drop in vacation visits by Canadians, the data also reveals a sharp drop in visits to major economic hubs.

    "High-tech and financial centers like San Francisco and Houston appear to be experiencing reductions not only in tourists but also in business-related travel, reflecting changing travel preferences due to broader economic uncertainties on both sides of the border," the study says.

    Since the start of President Trump's second term in office, some Canadians have boycotted U.S. goods and travel in response to sweeping tariffs, stricter immigration policies, and controversial remarks by the American leader about making Canada the 51st U.S. state.

    Early this year, tourism leaders in Florida were reaching out to their Canadian counterparts to try and boost travel amid the backlash to Mr. Trump's policies and remarks.

    "We're doing what we can, just as we are with any country outside the United States, to make sure that visitation remains strong," Visit Florida President and CEO Bryan Griffin said in February, ahead of meetings with Canadian officials.

    In a deliberate bid to lure back Canadian visitors, some casinos and hotels in Las Vegas announced promotions earlier this year offering a currency exchange rate of "At Par" between U.S. and Canadian dollars through the end of August. Under the offer, $1 Canadian is equal to $1 U.S., despite the lower value of the Canadian currency.


    ****************************

    Captain's AI-assisted research:

    Economic Impact and Red State Exposure
    The slump in Canadian tourism has dealt a heavy financial blow, not only to traditional blue states but also to key Republican-leaning ("red") destinations that heavily rely on northern neighbors.
    • South Carolina: Myrtle Beach, a major East Coast vacation hotspot, experienced the steepest drop among U.S. metro areas, with Canadian visits crashing by roughly 65%.
    • Arizona: Border towns and cities like Yuma have seen decreases in Canadian traffic of more than 62%, leaving local retail and hospitality businesses reeling.
    • Florida: Snowbird and vacation hubs across Florida (including Miami, Palm Bay, and Panama City) have seen severe year-over-year reductions in excess of 50%.
    The Scale of the Loss:
    Canadians represent the largest source of international visitors to the U.S., historically generating roughly 20.5 billion annually in spending and supporting 140,000 American jobs. With a substantial percentage of this demographic bypassing the U.S. for other international destinations, tourism-dependent regions face billions in lost consumer spending, resulting in slashed state tax revenues and thousands of lost jobs.


    PRETTY GREAT AGAIN, EH?

    it’s such a fcking cult this website was created by former MAGA to help those who are leaving or are thinking of doing so

    it has people sharing their stories

    it helps them deal with the process of being alienated from friends and family and gives them a community

    this country is so damn sad now
