Mr. Daly is right but; if he thinks the worst is here for Canada, he is very wrong. Our economy is starting to improve. Nevertheless, the operative word here is "starting". By summer "jump in the car and drive" time, people will want to stay close to home. Canada's attitude toward us, combined with gas costs and still weak economy, will kill the thought of going to Canada for lots and lots of Americans. You get the picture, eh?

Actually , No. Recent indications are that, based on advanced bookings and inquires for travel and accommodation information, the Canadian Maritimes, Ontario, and parts of Alberta and BC will benefit from a reluctance to go overseas for vacations.

I think that you are exactly right! Nothing like being hit in the pocketbook to grab your attention.
