Snowbird: "You don't know from one day to the next what new rule will come into place."
Canadian retired-persons' association spox: "If the relationship continues as cold as it is, I suspect we will see the majority of Canadians changing their plans for next year."
U.S. Lawyer: "It just seems like an assault on an otherwise friendly relationship."
To Clarify: Canadians are NOT showing up in snowbird US locations and of those who do come.....
"Report from Florida, any Canadians (snow birds) showing up are coming down to pack up, forever."
Anon says --
"My MIL snowbirds in FL and she said the Canadians who come are getting the fuck out, including selling any property they may have. Good."
"I'm hearing that people are not only annoyed, but they're also insulted," [Canadian Association of Retired Persons president Rudy] Buttignol said. "Together, with the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state, this seems like a deliberate attempt to irritate Canadians."

Guess the US doesn't want Canadian money. #snowbirds

Hey! CUBA. Dominican Republic, Belize, Turks and Caicos.
A LOT of Canadians WILL NEVER Snowbird in the US Again. 
Step up marketing in Canada!
Cuba had 936,436 arrivals from Canada. This represented a 176% growth year-over-year and Canadian count for 38% of the total arrivals in Cuba worldwide. The goal for 2024 is set at 1.2 million visitors from Canada.”

CTV News: How TRUMP's new U.S. travel rule will force #Canadian #snowbirds to register as '#alien' visitors.
Via #CTV News, March 07, 2025
A new rule will require "aliens", including #Canadian #snowbirds, to register with U.S. #immigration for stays longer than 30 days, #JohnVennavallyRao reports.
@GeriAQuin I have zero sympathy for snowbirds who KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, they spend 6 months of their year supporting the most racist state in North America. When the KKK and Nazis support the governor then you are supporting the KKK and Nazis. Send them to GITMO and keep them there. #Canada #USA #Florida #Snowbirds
NuanceRhymesWithOrangeGood question, no, do not return to Putin's America. There are great islands in The Gulf of Mexico, in Latin America, Turks and Caicos, Spain, Portugal, Morocco. Baja is nice.
Fly direct, take no short haul flights through the US.
Sell your timeshare.
Start reseach now, a German tourist a woman has been in immigrarion jail for weeks now. No one can get her out.
Dear Abby: my neighbour is paranoid, worried about invasion, and has a lot of guns. Should I stay there for the winter?
I wrote a short blog about cycling infrastructure we recently saw in #Aveiro, #Portugal, a flat coastal town south of #Porto. We were there in October last year and enjoyed the small town feel.
I can totally see it as an alternative for #Canadian #Snowbirds who are reconsidering their sun destinations #ottbike #velo #velotaf #ottwalk #BikeTooter

Snowbirds in the news.
"Coming from Canada's closest ally, these threats have angered many of the approximately one million Canadian snowbirds who travel to the U.S. each winter.
"Some have cancelled trips, while others are considering whether they will return next season."

Phone your relatives, make sure they are selling Florida property, cancelling US flights.
Let them know they could be kidnapped by US immigration and sent to Guantanamo, your family wouldn't know.
I’m looking for my tiny violin to play to the woes and concerns of snowbirds, but it has gotten so tiny I can’t find it amongst the toast crumbs at the breakfast table.
