With the Canadian dollar at an all time high against the American dollar I expect an inordinate amount of them to vacation here in Florida this winter.
Great, My day is ruined just thinking about that.
I bet they still are poor tippers and cheap.

When I lived down there in the 70's Miami Beach would be packed with Canadian snow birds every winter.

Reminds me, I had business in Miami Christmas of 80, maybe 81, the year they actually had visible snow on the beach as far south as Ft. Lauderdale. Miami Herald had a cartoon that morning, street corner scene with everybody bundled up in ski-wear, one couple in the middle in shorts, flip-flops and a beach umbrella. Script was “Spot the Canadian tourists”.

I know lots of Canadians, mostly polite folk, even speak English, and they go home after a while, Don’t let it ruin your day, get in line and take some of their over-priced money while it’s still over-priced.
