I recently heard something on the news about that. Places like New England and the PNW/Montana have seen a loss in tourist dollars because of the drop in the number of Canadian visitors.
Wonder if it's hit NJ. The south Jersey shore has been a long-time destination for people from QC. When I was a teenager there used to be stickers on things like soda and cigarette machines warning people not to uses Canadian coins, and you would see lots of Quebec license plates. In 2013, the GF and I were on the ferry from Cape May, NJ to Lewes, DE in cycling clothes. A guy struck up a conversation with us. Turned out be a first cousin of Lois Garneau who was down from QC for vacation.
