Hey Americans, why not go to Canada?

Travel from the U.S. to Canada continues to be down, as we see in this article from the Globe & Mail.

Those from the U.S. made 2.29 million trips to Canada in October, the lowest level in 34 years, according to Statistics Canada. This is 12.1 percent down from a year ago.

Ironically, I was going to make a trip to Canada in early November. I postponed my trip due to not enough money, and I had planned a cheap trip to Windsor. But I will make that trip in late winter.

The Canadian dollar has slipped a bit in the last month or so. Besides, it's cheaper than Europe, and depending on where you go, it can feel like Europe. Montréal and Quebec City give you that feeling. Vancouver can feel like Asia for a lot less money.

This ought to be get much worse, short-term, with the passport situation.
