Canadian Boycott Know-How: Hurt Americans in their Wallets

America First = America Only = America Alone. But the Dumb Idiot doesn't understand it. He's an ignorant stiff whose father taught him to throw the blade but did not teach him to read. Literacy is not just "knowing your letters", it's develop the neural ability to convert what you read into meaning. Donald Dumb certainly "knows his letters" although his neck stiffens from the strenuous efforts he makes to read from the teleprompter. But he doesn't understand what he reads, and he often doesn't understand what he's saying.

Canadians Announce 'Boycott' of Popular U.S. Vacation Spot

Canadians have announced a "boycott" of a popular U.S. vacation spot this summer.

There's ongoing tension between the United States and Canada thanks to President Trump. The 47th President of the United States has been taking shots at Canada, suggesting that it will one day become our 51st state. Canada, unsurprisingly, hasn't taken kindly to this - or the proposed tariffs.

Now, some Canadians have announced a "boycott" of a popular U.S. vacation spot.

Roughly 25 percent of all foreign tourism in the United States is by Canadians. However, that number could be going down this year, due to the ongoing tension.

Canadians have announced that they are boycotting a popular seaside town in Maine.

George Poitras is one of several Canadians who have been vacationing in the Maine beach town of Old Orchard Beach for several years. However, he and many others are choosing to boycott the vacation spot in the United States this year.

"And so, after heading there most of the last 30 summers, Poitras is skipping his Maine stay for a trip to Quebec and Ontario instead," the Wall Street Journal reported.

It's politically motivated, he says.

“It’s a political thing, it’s not the people,” Poitras says. “The day I come back to Maine will be a happy day for me.”

The Wall Street Journal had more:

Old Orchard Beach is a place of deep ties. Big hotel chains are absent. Local families operate inns that their parents, or even grandparents, owned. Many visitors book the same rooms and campsites every year, often with generations of family in tow. They walk the pier, give the children money for the arcade and have late-night drinks on the waterfront, where the Canadian and American flags fly side by side.

This year is going to be different. Up to 40% of the town’s visitors come from Canada, according to the local chamber of commerce, and many are canceling plans.

At the Royal Anchor Beach Resort, cancellations are double what they would typically be and almost entirely due to Canadians, says owner Steve Cowan. Many have called directly to make clear they don’t have a problem with him or the staff, whom they consider friends.

Canadians have said that they are hurting and many are refusing to enter the United States as a result.
