It's the weak US dollar/strong Loonie that is doing the most damage. Over the past few years Canada has become very expensive for Americans.
Also, I keep hearing whinging about Homeland Security checks at the airports.
What is the big deal? What does everyone expect?
The difference is that the US Border Agents protect their country. Canada's Border agents are some of the laziest Union slackers on the planet. Basically tax collectors, collecting taxes for their fat pensions.
Wake up people. The US is a foreign country and it was brutally attacked and has responded by making it tougher for insane radical muslims to get in.
It's something that for sure was needed.

The U.S. and Canada have too much in common to turn their backs to each other. The Moses-Saunders dam, which straddles the border in Cornwall, Ont., and Massena, N.Y, is the latest example: the International Joint Commission (IJC), an independent Canada-U.S. agency, wants to change how it regulates water flow.
This isn't just Canada. European executives are now being held up at the border, being hassled over paperwork, something that never used to happen before.
