The National Post is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.
Also, the article is about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis citing 3.3 million Canadians visiting Florida in 2024, and trying to play them off as 2025 statistics.
I’m honestly not really sure what they’re trying to say because the statement tries to say two things at once.
“That’s not much of a boycott in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team actually looks like,” DeSantis said to applause.
Is it 3.3 million Canadians visiting isn’t a large percentage of tourists or that many of us did visit despite the boycott? They’re also omitting how long or how much was spent there, which may be fairly significant.
An estimated one million Canadian “snowbirds” – seniors and retirees who winter in southern states such as Florida and Arizona – inject billions in tourism spending during their months-long stays in the United States.
- Can’t get the Globe and Mail to load right now, that’s the snippet for the article in google.
Almost all “Canadian” news media are now American News media.
They went on a buying spree of Canadian news outlets over the last 5 years or soAll the more reason to increase funding to Canadian owned and operated media.

Sometimes I wonder if I died and I’m in the bad place, or maybe I’m in a coma and my brain is running through dumber and dumber situations to try and wake me up.
There’s no way pee e pole can be this stupid, right?
The fact that a Canadian who is visiting Florida is likely spending hundreds to thousands for each trip, Florida will lose a lot of money as this continues.
And he assumes it’s only Canadians who will boycott the US. Europeans and the British are doing the same. 🤜🤛
At first I read that as hundreds of thousands for each trip, then wondered how behind the curve I was. Then realized I was further back than I thought for not reading correctly.
Disney sounded fun when I was a kid, as a middle aged adult I’d rather go to places with less large carnivorous reptiles and smaller crowds. In Canada in the 80s took forever to figure out the difference between Disney World and Land, I just figured Land was the only place. Also didn’t help there is a Hollywood Florida I learned about then too.
“Canadians didn’t travel back in time to prevent their past selves from going to Florida” is… an interesting boast, to say the least.
Right? “Oh if you’re boycotting visiting the US than why did so many of you visit last year before the boycott started, huh?”
Just checking in, the state whose economy is grossly overreliant on tourism is openly saying they don’t want tourists? That they’ll misuse statistics to publicly insult tourists?
I’m sure that’ll work out great.
What are they going to do about it? Not go! LOL! Now be good canadian cucks and go bring money to florida and then leave fast as just looking at you makes desantis so sick he wants to throw up.
Good of him to put on the public record the 3.3 million customers from 2024. That way we will have a very clear baseline of comparison for 2025.
There were news reports a few months ago that real-estate agents were getting over whelmed with Canadians selling property down there.
I really hope that Canadians start selling their red state assets en mass. I used to live in Florida and about 30% of the snowbird’s cars had Canadian plates. I got out of Florida, and Canadians should too. That place just doesn’t deserve us.
What, is he saying 3.3 million Canadians visited Florida in the last month? Because that would be close to a tenth of our population, and I know exactly zero people who went to Florida all year.
During an address to lawmakers at the state capitol in Tallahassee, the governor briefly mentioned Florida’s tourist numbers from 2024, boasting 142 million visitors, 3.3 million of whom hailed from Canada, he noted.
Maybe Florida will still get visits from its Southern neighbours, Texas and the Northeast, but most would be out for merely a weekend trip usually. Those millions from Canada are the ones willing to buy property, spend the big bucks over a whole season on tourism, and make your sorry state a less miserable and DeSantis-like place to live.
3.3 million is the baseline. Let’s compare next year.
People can go to Florida if they want, travel where they want, it’s all fine and good.
