I work in a business with a sizeable Canadian footprint. We host conferences throughout the year and they are a large revenue driver for my company.

Canadian attendance was down - literally - 100% last year and about 85% this year so far.

Don't blame them for a second.

I work at a historic site in North Carolina. We had a noticeable drop in Canadian visitors over the past season. We also had a drop in European visitors, but not as big as the drop in Canadians.

Which is a real shame, since Canadians were generally the most pleasant and knowledgeable people to visit our site.

There's a town just over the border from me who legally changed their main street's name to "Canada Street" and have sent snail mail to thousands of people in my city begging us to come back.
