Why would I want to be in Florida at _any_ time of the year, when I could be on Vancouver Island or on the Sunshine Coast? Perhaps I could even travel abroad to some place where I have a great deal more buying power.
Florida isn’t filled with the sort of people that I would enjoy spending time with, and if I’m going to be somewhere that’s hot and muggy then I may as well be somewhere that I won’t go broke having a good time.

Canada is the largest market for one of his state’s biggest industries, so of course he’s feeling the pinch.
It took travelling all the way to Canada and meeting people here face to face, for him to finally realize that we may have had a little problem with Trump’s remarks. Go figure. Too bad for him things aren’t gonna get better anytime soon.

It reads to me like Louisiana is experiencing the impact of a loss of tourism and trade with Canada. _To his credit_, the Governor [has repeatedly raised alarm](https://www.katc.com/lafayette-parish/louisiana-faces-tourism-setback-as-canadians-cancel-trips) over this loss since as far back as April. But it seems like he had assumed we’d be over it by now.
