Love to see it. I have a friend who retired a couple of years ago and had several trips planned in the U.S. this year. She cancelled them all and is spending her considerable vacation budget here at home - Quebec, the Maritimes and Newfoundland, Alberta, and BC. We have an amazing, beautiful country to vacation in - with the lovely bonus of not being run by Christo-fascists 😀

It certainly feels like more, but that’s only anecdotal and might be a result of some confirmation bias. It feels like we’re seeing more plates from out of province where I’m at, and where I’m at is very much a touristy place in Canada. It’ll be interesting to see what the tourism numbers look like after the season is through.
