      Gonna be a helluva great opportunity for those who can tough out the next three years.

      *Sure, we’d like to leave, but if we can’t capture the insane real estate gains to which we, as Boomers, are of course entitled, we will simply continue to support the nation threatening to destroy our homeland.*

      Oh look at that, cbc writing more garbage articles.

      Guess you’ll have to settle for a SS Camaro Reginald

      I’m in Florida right now and there are lots of other Canadians here. This has nothing to do with bad feelings towards Canadians. Everyone is extremely welcoming to Canadians here. The issue is the weak Canadian dollar and the inflation caused by the tariffs. Florida used to be a cheap place to winter. Groceries in Florida now cost the same as in Canada but in USA dollars. Basically means everything is 40% more expensive here.

      There’s an expression in Florida that *snowbirds keep Florida green*, but this feels like the real estate version of what Kentucky is seeing:  

      >But not everybody here believes in what Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis are spewing. There are people like me who are spending a lot of money and free time trying to kick these MAGA politicians out.   

      No one is saying „everybody“, but [Florida](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Florida) voted for Trump who was pretty clear about his direction.  

      The extra spice on the taco here is not only are there no American buyers filling the gap, but foreign owners pay *higher* taxes.

      Why not rent the place out? They could “expatriate” some US cash into Canada that way. Let some MAGA voter subsidize their vacation in Cuba.

      So the woman in this article is just going to wait it out and continuing to go to Florida?

      No shade from me but that is an entire puff piece about snowbirds being slightly uncomfortable. That is it.
