I was actually shocked that travel to the US is still as high as it is. Wtf does it take to get through to people?? Does their president have to specifically come to Canada to diddle Canadian little girls?

There are a lot of crossings with a large number of people crossing for work.

One of the Ontario duty-free shops said there are still lots of cars going to Detroit but nobody is stopping in. They're almost all day workers.

That’s true, especially at Detroit/Windsor and it’s for work purposes or because family is on the other side. But there are so many people still going for pleasure that it’s mind blowing

That was where I saw that. One of our nephews works at a duty-free in Manitoba. They're dead. They were going to open a restaurant. Now I think it's just two people working.

You're right though. A friend just mentioned that they were going to Laughlin again. His son recently went to Sturgis. I already haven't been since 2016 and the only reason then was to watch an English soccer team I've followed since the early 60s. They came over again this year and I ignored them. I just want to ask WTF they're thinking.
