Mike Boyd is an idiot! Maybe he should think before talking or just actually get an education on a topic before speaking. Regardless, he is an idiot.
The Canadian dollar is holding its own right now which makes it more appealing for Canadians to bring their money into the US to spend. So what if only a couple of hundred people per week travel or use this service. Isn't it better than no money coming in?
Also, if the Canadian dollar drops in value then it would mean that Americans would get more for their money if they went up there on holiday thus increasing the revenue for the airlines and helping the Canadian economy which in turn will help the American economy (NAFTA agreement and/or trading in general).
I think Mike Boyd is just jealous that he didn't think of it first.

So what.

[a moose from Canada]

Mike Boyd is typical arrogant American idiot who knows nothing about Canada. Where does he get his facts about the number of moose up here?

As a Canadian with a winter home in Florida, I spend thousands of dollars each year in Florida, supporting the economy, paying property and sales taxes. Canadians spend billions each year and have a major impact on the economy. Just ask every retailer, restaurant, etc that have lineups all winter. Some locals may not like it, but business sure does, and isn't that what America is all about?
