Nearly half of Quebecers cancel U.S. trips amid tensions, boosting local tourism

montreal.citynews.ca Nearly half of Quebecers cancel U.S. trips amid tensions, boosting local tourism

For many Montrealers, it’s Spring Break. And for some, that means taking a trip. It was a busy Saturday morning at Trudeau Airport, but amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats, have Quebecers been changing their destinations? A new poll found that nearly half of Quebecers who planned a tri...

Or support Mexican tourism for warm destinations, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
- Us Québécois love going to Cuba, we've been vacationing there for ever! It's amazing, not a single American in sight!
  
  Just went to Cancún, so many québécois! It's a direct flight from YUL. Not that many Americans in some areas.
  
  Still more Americans than Havana, also a direct flight from YUL ;)
  
  Went in January and Cancun was crawling with shity Americans I won't be back ever.
  
  It's worth going to that area and seeing other stuff. Cancún is not a great place, but there are lots of cool things in the area
  
  Yeah I vacationed in Playa Del Carmen, not Cancún itself.
  
  Beautiful beaches, food sucks though. Mexico is better!
  
  Oh I think the dirt cheap, plentiful, delicious food is what I'll miss the most in Mexico.
  The people are also genuinely wonderful (at least in Cancún / Playa Del Carmen), I've heard the opposite for the Dominican Republic. Don't know about Cuba.
  
  Yes. Food is not great in Cuba. Unless you stay with a local and have the amazing fresh fruit for breakfast. And the coffee / dairy is amazing!
  
  I keep hearing this, but man was it not my experience. I may have just been unlucky, or maybe it was just our specific resort, but the food we ate on the resort was extremely disappointing. The best meal I ate whole week was a random lunch I ate in a disposable plate (the cochinita pibil was out of this world) before leaving Tulum. Meanwhile most food in Cuba was perfectly fine. On average not the best I ate in my life, but nothing terrible.
- I think a big thing should be support Canada, instead of bringing your money elsewhere keep it in Canada. We are going to have some bumpy times of us.
  
  Supporting Canada exclusively for winter beach vacations is not reasonable, a lot of people want to take a break from winter somewhere warm. This used to be Florida / California, let's start going to Latin America and Europe instead.
  We have to be careful with this mentality, isolationism is the exact kind of mentality we are accusing the US of. Let's keep supporting friendly nations to show the US we have other friends to play with.
