But, this season, business is off, and there are fewer Canadians spending money in South Florida. The Trump administration’s mercurial policies are creating tension and uncertainty.

“I got one guy that had a $1,000 deposit. You know for sure he’s coming. He gave up his deposit,” Clavet said. “And it’s not like he decided not to come. But, just to protest, he said he was going to Cuba instead.”

Passenger arrivals from Canada at Miami International Airport are down this year, three weeks into March. Demand for flights from Canada to South Florida has fallen about 20% compared to a year ago. [emphasis added]
