The National Post is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.
Also, the article is about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis citing 3.3 million Canadians visiting Florida in 2024, and trying to play them off as 2025 statistics.
I’m honestly not really sure what they’re trying to say because the statement tries to say two things at once.
“That’s not much of a boycott in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team actually looks like,” DeSantis said to applause.
Is it 3.3 million Canadians visiting isn’t a large percentage of tourists or that many of us did visit despite the boycott? They’re also omitting how long or how much was spent there, which may be fairly significant.
An estimated one million Canadian “snowbirds” – seniors and retirees who winter in southern states such as Florida and Arizona – inject billions in tourism spending during their months-long stays in the United States.
- Can’t get the Globe and Mail to load right now, that’s the snippet for the article in google.
Almost all “Canadian” news media are now American News media.
They went on a buying spree of Canadian news outlets over the last 5 years or soAll the more reason to increase funding to Canadian owned and operated media.
If they weren’t afriad of losing money they wouldn’t make their papers publish articles mocking resistance
Good of him to put on the public record the 3.3 million customers from 2024. That way we will have a very clear baseline of comparison for 2025.
🤡
There were news reports a few months ago that real-estate agents were getting over whelmed with Canadians selling property down there.
I really hope that Canadians start selling their red state assets en mass. I used to live in Florida and about 30% of the snowbird’s cars had Canadian plates. I got out of Florida, and Canadians should too. That place just doesn’t deserve us.
The US out here speedrunning their own destruction.
That’s the plan
That short bitch has no concept of time. I also hear he can’t read analogue clocks.
During an address to lawmakers at the state capitol in Tallahassee, the governor briefly mentioned Florida’s tourist numbers from 2024, boasting 142 million visitors, 3.3 million of whom hailed from Canada, he noted.
Maybe Florida will still get visits from its Southern neighbours, Texas and the Northeast, but most would be out for merely a weekend trip usually. Those millions from Canada are the ones willing to buy property, spend the big bucks over a whole season on tourism, and make your sorry state a less miserable and DeSantis-like place to live.
What, is he saying 3.3 million Canadians visited Florida in the last month? Because that would be close to a tenth of our population, and I know exactly zero people who went to Florida all year.
I know six people, so between the two of us that means an average of three Canadians a year go to Florida
Nah, of course he meant in 2024, and it has nothing to do with the ongoing boycott. Literally hoping people don’t read passed the headline (which most of their base doesn’t)
That many for one year still seems high to me.
I have one trip coming up to Florida. Then I’m done. I’ll be making more trips to Canada after that. If I need a beach in the Cold months, I’ll find better ones in the Caribbean.
I’ve been urging people not to visit Florida for ages due to their human rights violations. They’ve been a no-go state for trans people for years. They used to be their own category on trans safety maps, filled in black (unfortunately more states have entered that category since)
I cancelled a California and New York to see friends that I dearly miss. I told them I’ll meet them on neutral grounds outside instead.
I know the amount of money I’ll be spending is nothing in the grand scheme of things but I’m just not gonna do it.
Trump took office on January 2025. Boycott started in February 2025. Ya, you really got us with those 2024 numbers. “Mike drop” indeed.
All that does is highlight how much they have to lose. Canadians were 20% of their tourism in 2024. Let’s get that down to zero.
GF who visits Disneyland annually now no longer wants to go over the US government and Disney policy changes. Woops
Mike drop
Poor Mike. Was he holding the mic?
“Canadians didn’t travel back in time to prevent their past selves from going to Florida” is… an interesting boast, to say the least.
Right? “Oh if you’re boycotting visiting the US than why did so many of you visit last year before the boycott started, huh?”
the governor briefly mentioned Florida’s tourist numbers from 2024
Sometimes I wonder if I died and I’m in the bad place, or maybe I’m in a coma and my brain is running through dumber and dumber situations to try and wake me up.
There’s no way pee e pole can be this stupid, right?
Does someone need to sit this guy down and explain the concept of linear time to him?
Yup. That should do it. Taunting Canadians has worked so well so far. Keep it up.
The fact that a Canadian who is visiting Florida is likely spending hundreds to thousands for each trip, Florida will lose a lot of money as this continues.
And he assumes it’s only Canadians who will boycott the US. Europeans and the British are doing the same. 🤜🤛
At first I read that as hundreds of thousands for each trip, then wondered how behind the curve I was. Then realized I was further back than I thought for not reading correctly.
Disney sounded fun when I was a kid, as a middle aged adult I’d rather go to places with less large carnivorous reptiles and smaller crowds. In Canada in the 80s took forever to figure out the difference between Disney World and Land, I just figured Land was the only place. Also didn’t help there is a Hollywood Florida I learned about then too.
DIsney is like $150 USD per day pass now. That is CRAZY.
3.3 million is the baseline. Let’s compare next year.
Yeh. This is the dumb shit that their bases eat up. “Let’s look at data from the last 12 months, see they didn’t even boycott.” Ffs
They probably won’t annoucce the new figures or do some creative accounting, just like their GDP. Will have to look at data from Canada side.
