I agree about the tourism, particuliarly to their eastern provinces and cities where most of this stuff comes from.

When we don't go to Canada as tourists, there is an immediate negative impact on their economy.

I know of Steelhead fly fishers who will not be going to Canada for the first time in decades.

Also, any sweet heart timber, minerals or energy deals made by the Clintoons that favor Canadians should be be rendered null and void. I hear that there are hundreds of such deals.

To back up what you are saying about travel boycotts having an immediate impact. The UK and Americans have started cancelling vacations and meetings in France. The economic impact has been significant with a 25% drop in vacation business from just the UK. The beneficiary has been Spain for the most part and then Italy.

Show us an energy deal made between 92 and 2000 that favors the Canadians. I'm pretty certain Canada is locked into US set terms on energy export prices, ie: Canada has to sell energy at prices based on the previous 3 years price, and also can't restrict their exports to the US. Unless the previous regime set those prices to benefit the Canadians, I'd say we hosed them on that deal.
