Canada is a truly beautiful county and I hope to travel up there sometime in the future and get to know it better. My last visit was to Toronto in 1998. I found everyone was very pleasant and helpful to American tourists...hope that hasn't changed.

I don't know, Toronto is very Liberal/Socialist now. I personally try to stay as far away from it as possible.

I would suggest anywhere out west, any part of rural Ontario, (including Ottawa, believe it or not), and the east coast.

I spoke to a lady from Georgia who now lives in Toronto, and she said she had been mugged 4 times in the 2 years since she moved there.

Personally, if I were an American - especially one with any past or present connection to her patriot Armed Forces - I wouldn't spend a cent in Canada on principle.

Further, I suspect a significant portion of U.S. citizens feel exactly this way. For the past few years, the Government has been whining about tourism levels being down and, with the help of its pals in our msm, tried to blame this solely on the SARS outbreak. But, where does the largest single block of tourists to Canada come from?
You guessed it - the USA.
Got a Kanuckistani tourism-based operation and its business is in the toilet?
Blame Carolyn Parrish and the rest of the loud-mouthed anti-American Liberal and NDP whack-jobs!

However, Yanks should also note that among the most virulent anti-U.S. scum up here are the thousands of draft dodgers and military deserters who arrived in the 60's and 70's and the countless people they influence.
Accordingly, if you don't like America-bashing coming from North of the border, stop urging still more of your left-wing social misfits to join them!
