could be, it doesn't matter, Canadians who do not go to the States for a vacation will still vacation, This year My friend didn't take as many shopping trips to the Mall in rochester, but there were still lots of Presents, Canadian Grannies shopped at home, He didn't get to Florida for Christmas for the first time in 20 years, he went to quebec skiing, and he just stayed home for the first time in 20 years for march Break.

If the tourism buses don't run, they will be downsized. Downsizing a bus fleet is easier than building one. Laying off the drivers, well they can drive truck just as easily. Fewer bus Trips of tourists going to the US is not a big deal in a shrinking Bus industry in Canada. But if the trips from Canada stop. It is a problem, only it is not a Canadian problem. My friend is without bookings to go to the US this year. That is my only point. No one is booking the usual trips, that go every year at the same time. Someone had better think about aid to the tourism industry.
