Trump will probably try to raise tariffs to force tourists back to the
shithole USA and Las Vegas.


Canadians cite Trump's 'disrespect'

Winnipeg resident Martyn Daly is one of those visitors who's staying away.
In an interview with CBC News, Daly said he and his wife typically go to
Vegas once a year, but he can't bring himself to do it this year with the
trade war raging.

"We're pretty upset with what's going on in the U.S. and the disrespect
that's been shown by the Trump administration towards Canada. I just feel obliged to do something — and one little thing I can do is not patronizing
a place we enjoy," he said. "It's not a good idea to be spending any of our hard-earned money in the States. I can spend it elsewhere with a clear conscience."

The U.S. boycott remains strong. Why many Canadians are digging in
their heels

He's also leery of what he may face at the Canada-U.S. border amid reports
some travellers are being held up for questioning or, in some rare
instances, detention.

Guy Kerbrat, of Regina, cancelled a long-planned trip to Vegas to see an
AC/DC concert to protest Trump's treatment of Canada.

"The thought of going down there right now — it doesn't make you feel warm
and fuzzy. We just couldn't do it," Kerbrat said in an interview.

"My wife and I, we are Vegas-goers. It's a destination we enjoy. But we
looked at each other and said, 'We can't support Trump and these policies
that are so anti-Canadian.' I hate to hurt the people, the workers who
aren't supportive of what Trump's doing, but we had to take a stand," he
said.
Economic hardship

There's evidence that Nevadans are facing some economic challenges as a
result of these disruptions.

Nevada's unemployment rate, at 5.4 per cent, is the highest among the
states and second only to Washington, D.C., where there have been Trump- induced federal layoffs.

One of Nevada's U.S. senators, Catherine Cortez Masto, was part of a
bipartisan delegation to Ottawa last month to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney to try and patch up relations amid what she called "the chaos of the Trump presidency."

As the director of the university's business and economic research centre,
he crunched the numbers and found Canadians contributed $3.6 billion US to
the local economy last year.

Canadian spending supported some 43,000 jobs in the region, more than those employed in the manufacturing sector, Miller said.

That $3.6-billion figure comes close to the economic output of the local
Nellis Air Force base — and that's saying something, given it's one of the largest and most important military installations in the U.S., with some
15,000 personnel.

"The Canadian numbers have gone down dramatically and it's an area of
concern for the casinos," Miller said. "After all, the main goal of the
resort industry is to put heads in beds."

Massive Drop In Vegas Tourism Attributed To Canadians / Other Countries Staying Away Thanks To Trump

The Vegas slump has little to do with Canadians boycotting and mostly to do with the post-COVID, maximum cockbag policies of the casino/resorts, where
they decided to see how much they could financially fuck over their customers before they wouldn't take it anymore. They're currently finding out.

Rather than just screech "Trump!", if you want to see why Vegas is actually floundering here are a couple of good starting points:

So you're saying it's just another crime and gun infested right wing
shithole and not what the people who refuse to come to Vegas are saying!


God, you're fucking ignorant. You can't even comprehend the evidence right
in front of you and instead come up with bullshit pulled from your gaping
fag ass. It can't take much for stupid trumpers like you to be
brainwashed.

You can just piss away the 4 billion Canadians bring to Vegas. You stupid right wing cunt.


Americans don't live long anyway, you'll be dead soon.

If you live in a red shithole statte, you'll probably be murdered.
