Did you know over 300,000 Canadians visit Palm Springs each year?
Worried that Donald Trump’s policies are scaring away Canadians, the Caiflironia resort town has put up tourist industry, a California resort city has put up “Palm Springs Loves Canada” signs all across its downtown.
“It was a gesture to let our Canadian visitors know that what happens in Washington DC, is not the way that Palm Springs is looking at Canada,” said the city’s mayor.
For decades, Canadians looking to escape the brutal winters have been taking vacations in the desert but now, with the US tariffs and the ugly rhetoric about making our northern neighbor the 51st State, many Canadians are canceling their trips, saying they were “not spending a dime in Palm Springs”.
The mayor said while he completely understood that perspective, he and other local officials were sending a “positive message” and hoping Canadians would reconsider.
