So Long Canadian Snowbirds

More than a few Florida and Arizona RV resorts will suffer a huge hit next fall if their Canadian visitors decide to stay home. Even the nicest neighbors can only be pushed so far, and the Canadians I know are proud of their country. This will be one of those self-inflicted wounds that never needed to happen. Look for camping rates to fall sharply next year due to oversupply.

Maybe they'll drive their RV's to the Bahamas.

There won’t be a problem for Florida destinations selling out. Yes I understand their frustration but demand will continue to outpace supply down here for the Winter months.

They'll be back. They got nowhere else to go. Campgrounds will be as crowded as ever and prices will keep going up. We need another plandemic.

Maybe it will open up more space opportunities for other people.

I’ll be going to Florida next winter, normally it’s hard to find a spot. The Canadian snow birds will probably go to Mexico. Oh wait that means going through America. I think some Canadian’s may stay home but I think most Canadian’s will head south, it’s not stopping me from going to Alaska this year. I get to the Canadian border I smile and give all the paperwork and if the border agents want to check my camper I open the slides and let the agents do there job as I have nothing to hide. I have no guns in the camper and none at home for that matter, I had enough guns in Nam to last a lifetime. I plan on meeting some nice people on our trip and spending right much money.

Just a side note I always thought that our president was just egging the Canadian prime minister on about being the 51 state and calling him governor. Our president has a way of getting under peoples skin but I saw where Alberta may be leaving Canada and joining America, WOW.

Turning Canada into a state would be the only way he could legally visit…

It’s not over until the fat lady sings and what you are talking about is on appeal and that charge will be thrown out. As president I think he can go anywhere as he doesn’t need a passport

Winters in Greenland are nice and waterfront reservations are easy. But the weather in Iceland is even better. It’s a well kept secret.

Yeah, your thinking would be wrong!

Canadian customs can let him in, but they don't have too!!

What I like about everything going on right now is that I now have a complete handle on where all countries are located. Before now, I had no idea how huge Greenland is and wow, I researched the Panama Canal construction and it’s actually a marvel.

I should have skipped the naps in 7th grade history.

Apparently, Greenland looks much larger on a map of the world, than it actually is.
It is still the largest 'Island' on the planet.
