Travel and Tour World - Feb 16/25

Excerpt:

The recent announcement of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods has ignited a strong backlash among Canadian travelers, leading to widespread cancellations of vacations to the United States. Michigan, a state that relies heavily on Canadian tourists, stands to lose millions in revenue as a result of this growing boycott. With Canada serving as the top international source of U.S. visitors, a decline in Canadian tourism could severely impact Michigan’s tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the state’s economy.

    Sorry, what’s the difference exactly between a federal election and all States voting independently? Doesn’t that amount to the same thing?

      The difference is the center of power and control. Michigan sets most of their own rules and administers it within the state.

      Ohio does the same, following its own internal standards. The process and results might look similar, but they really don’t have to be.

      Which means that Trusk can’t dismantle it from the inside. They have limited power to tell each state what to do or how to do it.
