Nearly half? Why not double half?
There’s a crazy story about a German tourist that brought a tatoo pen/supplies with her on US tourism and was put in jail until her return flight, 29 days, because “obviously she was trying to work illegally in US”.
We should call them Qubecois.
“Quebecers” is absolutely the worst demonym I’ve ever had the misfortune of hearing.
I’d honestly rather use “Quebecans” or “Quebecinites” than “Quebecers”. That being said, I’m francophone so I just say “québécois et québécoises”.
C’est vrai, quebecers always sounds wrong to me for some reason. Québécois is the original, so idk I think it should just be québécois in English without any translations
Quebeccies it is
In Ontario I’ve generally heard and used “Québécois” and don’t really hear Quebecers often. Weird that the Montréal CityNews outlet is using Quebecers of all places.
In my mind Québécois is a sign of respect, while Quebecers is dismissive, and I can’t explain why I think that way.
The word Québécois in English I think signifies more the ethnic group, than all Quebeckers (ppl who live in Quebec, Québécois or otherwise).
In French, it’s ambiguous.
I’m from Montreal originally. We call ourselves Quebecers.
I live in the mtl suburbs and I very rarely hear quebecers. Even Anglo people say québécois
Or support Mexican tourism for warm destinations, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
Us Québécois love going to Cuba, we’ve been vacationing there for ever! It’s amazing, not a single American in sight!
Just went to Cancún, so many québécois! It’s a direct flight from YUL. Not that many Americans in some areas.
Still more Americans than Havana, also a direct flight from YUL ;)
Went in January and Cancun was crawling with shity Americans I won’t be back ever.
It’s worth going to that area and seeing other stuff. Cancún is not a great place, but there are lots of cool things in the area
Yeah I vacationed in Playa Del Carmen, not Cancún itself.
I think a big thing should be support Canada, instead of bringing your money elsewhere keep it in Canada. We are going to have some bumpy times of us.

Supporting Canada exclusively for winter beach vacations is not reasonable, a lot of people want to take a break from winter somewhere warm. This used to be Florida / California, let’s start going to Latin America and Europe instead.
-
We have to be careful with this mentality, isolationism is the exact kind of mentality we are accusing the US of. Let’s keep supporting friendly nations to show the US we have other friends to play with.

Good, and I’m following suit. Just cancelled a trip I had planned to Boston this September. I’m not spending a dollar more than I have to on the shithole that has become the US.
with tHE Faa being gutted by musk, its not even safe to fly down there.
Canada is such a lovely place to tour! And if you’re Canadian you probably already have the appropriate clothing! In such a large and diverse country you can certainly find an experience different from your daily.
The problem is it’s fucking expensive. We went to Halifax this summer and had a great time, but we could have easily paid for a week in an all inclusive in Mexico for a similar price for 5 days in Halifax.
That being said, we’re taking the train to Montreal for March break. Way simpler and less stressy than an international trip, but not cheaper.
Halifax is a great town! Although Mexico is ok too. It’s the US we should try to avoid.
Yeah, indeed. On the other hand I’m also painfully aware that the reason it’s so cheap for me over there is that I’m the richer guy in a poorer country… 😬
That’s good, but we need to get that percentage higher. Let’s shoot for 90% or better. Make America tourism hurt.
Come the 4th, and expect stuff to change.
half floridas tourism comes from canada and other countries.
We are a terrorist nation. This is a good call. Stay safe and stay far away from this place.
Good call. This place is an embarrassment.
