Here's a Canadian snowbird profile: mainly retired, 65+, open-toed sandels, black knee-socks, shorts, beer gut, Hawaiian shirt, cigar, Panama Hat, sunglasses, carrying a copy of the Globe & Mail. He's got his CDN Healthcare card (with hologram+photo) and his CDN driver's license (with hologram+photo) in his wallet, his passport is in the hotel safe, and he had his car carrier/trucked down ahead of time with mainly Ontario plates.

Estimated total number of Canadian "snowbirds" (four southern states, a 21+ day stay, and a January-May return criterion) is in the neighborhood of 300-400,000 bodies annually, and dumping $3 - $5000 in that period, each. Um, explain to me, we need to carry more "papers" to DisneyWorld or the beach, because....what? I'm confused. Hey, you want us to take our $2B to Mexico maybe?

Signed,
Snowbird, eh?
