I imagine the wealthy are over represented in the segment of Canadians looking to buy American homes, and most feel reasonably confident that overrides everything else.

I had that argument a long time ago and I tend to agree with you, but unfortunately it’s officially OK to call the US of NA just America.

Economy is going to contract especially come spring. These snowbirds most of the time were more kind than locals. People have no idea how much money they pump into local economies.
Hopefully this is advantageous to midterms but who knows.

Canada will get is getting warmer too you know. From nice and cool to nice and warm. Same as here in Norhern Europe*, and I believe the influx of rich “Southerners” will increase, if it hasn’t already.
* I can’t believe how far South Canada goes. The most populated area is on a latitude with Central Europe. I live on the same latitude as, say, Anchorage. I can’t even find a reasonably-sized town in Canada. But afaiu climate is very different because of the Gulf stream?
Climate is different for a few reasons but the Gulf Stream is one of them.

Living in Southern Ontario the climate here is already fucked. this past winter was just all over the place. Didn't have much of a spring just transitioned from Winter to Summer. probably going to be the same for Fall just from Summer right to Winter. I mean we had a few chilly days in August.

Research from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources indicates that ice fishing season is three weeks shorter on average than it was in the 1970’s.
Increasing temperatures = less ice on lakes = shorter ice fishing season.
If climate change is impacting Wisconsin, it’s already impacting Canada.

Oh sure, I phrased it a little badly.
In other places it shows more during the summer, in the North it shows more during the winter. can’t remember the last time we had a proper one here, without several melting and re-freezing phases.

Do you remember a white Canadian reggae artist called Snow, best known for “Informer”, in the early 90s? He pretty much disappeared from the music scene after he stayed in Canada.

Canada is re-arming, and the United States military is notoriously incompetent.
Then I hope the US knows how to respond to Urban terrorism, because Canadians will go across the border silently, and we will destroy everything we can.

Ahh hello, European. As a Canadian I would like to point out that Canadians have rejected the demonym “American” (when it is applied to us) and have done so far as long as I can remember. We consider it offensive.
If you’re looking to start a fight with a Canadian, calling him an American is an easy way to do that.

I know there’s a lot of focus on the US today, even more than usual but I’m getting very concerned about every other countries domestic swing towards conservative populism that’s generally intertwined with racism mixed in the current anti-immigration movements.
This is good. I absolutely think it’s a problem for every country to have foreign ownership of land/property. It ranges from champagne socialist to hyper-capitalist doing foreign land/property purchases. Screw vacation homes. Screw rental properties. Regardless of all that, don’t let anti-Americanism distract you from growing conservative populism that’s been growing across the world for I feel like the whole 25 years of this millennium

To be fair, are they wrong? Wealthy is the only truly privileged group in America. For a few million, you can outright buy American citizenship now
Wealthy or young professionals who can make a significant amount more money in America vs. Canada, which is generally the same thing.
I wonder what effect all this is having on the timeshare industry….
Good. Get the fuck out with your rental property.
America the continent.
Americans are so lazy they omit 75% of their country’s name.
Does that include Canadians and Mexicans?
