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.
Did you mean Louis Garneau? I have a bike jersey or maybe two with that logo, Some handlebar bags. A rack top bag. Probably a few more items that do not come to mind. One of the jerseys was bought in PEI.
I am guessing that the politics might be just as bad next year, maybe worse, but I suspect that people will be more willing to revert to older habits for where they travel for summer vacations. Thus, I am guessing less boycotting next year. But that is only my guess.
I am planning to do a bike trip next year, not sure yet where. So far options are (1) partly in Ontario and Quebec, (2) UK, and (3) stay in Wisc.
