Spending your retirement in the US is a huge fuck-you to Canada to begin with. You extracted a retirement's worth of wealth from Canada and then you hand half of it to another country.

I think that's a win for everyone... Canada is such a gorgeous country and there's so much to see and do here without having to venture across any borders.
"We plan to annex you soon, and make your citizens subservient to ours."
"We'll show you! We'll convince our people to vacation slightly less in your country!"
25% of Canada thinks Americans are the enemy. Who needed convincing?
Canadian tourists spent 20 billion dollars in the US economy in 2024.
Cutting that won't go unnoticed.

wish my father would
Same here. Mine still complain about the dollar and the costs, and carry on trying to convince others to join them
Mine has been going to Mexico instead.
I was planning three trips to the states. San Francisco, New Jersey and LA to see friends at various points in the year.
I've cancelled them all. I told my friends that I would meet them on neutral or friendly ground but not a single bit of my money will be spent going there.
Went to Cuba last week. Absolutely magical, 3-5x the value, and the country needs the support. 95%+ Canadians, and no Americans.
I understand the "Quebec community" support/appeal, but its supporting the US too. A firm no for me.
