lol, I quoted this so I can repost it next winter.....

"The same could be said for many Canadian property owners who have—or used to have—second homes and winter escapes in the United States. Anger over the Trump administration’s continued references to the country as the “51st state” and the prime minister as a governor, in addition to the tariffs that have set off a trade war between allies, have led to the beginning of a property sell-off.

Well, they'll need to look to another source. Canadians are selling, (making a ton of money) and can afford to vacation elsewhere next winter. *chuckles*
