We should call them Qubecois.
“Quebecers” is absolutely the worst demonym I’ve ever had the misfortune of hearing.
I’d honestly rather use “Quebecans” or “Quebecinites” than “Quebecers”. That being said, I’m francophone so I just say “québécois et québécoises”.
In Ontario I’ve generally heard and used “Québécois” and don’t really hear Quebecers often. Weird that the Montréal CityNews outlet is using Quebecers of all places.
In my mind Québécois is a sign of respect, while Quebecers is dismissive, and I can’t explain why I think that way.
Or support Mexican tourism for warm destinations, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
Us Québécois love going to Cuba, we’ve been vacationing there for ever! It’s amazing, not a single American in sight!
Just went to Cancún, so many québécois! It’s a direct flight from YUL. Not that many Americans in some areas.
I keep hearing this, but man was it not my experience. I may have just been unlucky, or maybe it was just our specific resort, but the food we ate on the resort was extremely disappointing. The best meal I ate whole week was a random lunch I ate in a disposable plate (the cochinita pibil was out of this world) before leaving Tulum. Meanwhile most food in Cuba was perfectly fine. On average not the best I ate in my life, but nothing terrible.
I think a big thing should be support Canada, instead of bringing your money elsewhere keep it in Canada. We are going to have some bumpy times of us.

Supporting Canada exclusively for winter beach vacations is not reasonable, a lot of people want to take a break from winter somewhere warm. This used to be Florida / California, let’s start going to Latin America and Europe instead.

We have to be careful with this mentality, isolationism is the exact kind of mentality we are accusing the US of. Let’s keep supporting friendly nations to show the US we have other friends to play with.
That’s good, but we need to get that percentage higher. Let’s shoot for 90% or better. Make America tourism hurt.
Good, and I’m following suit. Just cancelled a trip I had planned to Boston this September. I’m not spending a dollar more than I have to on the shithole that has become the US.
Canada is such a lovely place to tour! And if you’re Canadian you probably already have the appropriate clothing! In such a large and diverse country you can certainly find an experience different from your daily.
The problem is it’s fucking expensive. We went to Halifax this summer and had a great time, but we could have easily paid for a week in an all inclusive in Mexico for a similar price for 5 days in Halifax.
That being said, we’re taking the train to Montreal for March break. Way simpler and less stressy than an international trip, but not cheaper.
