Description

Remember Nick Adams, Trump's tourism envoy who told everyone that America was the greatest place on earth to visit? Well, apparently he's not quite so happy anymore. With Canadians continuing to avoid travelling to the United States, Adams is now criticising the tourism boycott and accusing people of hurting American workers and businesses. Apparently choosing not to spend our own money in the US is now something we should feel guilty about. I guess it's easier to blame everybody else than accept why people no longer want to visit. Meanwhile, back home in Vancouver, Canada has just wrapped up a record breaking cruise tourism season with over 1.4 million passengers and 358 cruise ship visits. And with more growth expected, the city is already preparing upgrades to accommodate the additional ships. Quite the contrast when you look at what's happening south of the border. I also share a message from Jason at Wrong Enough to Know Better about the upcoming Alberta referendum on October 19 and why voter participation matters for all Canadians. ----------------------------------- How To Support The Guard The Leaf Channel Buy Me A Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/guardtheleaf Guard The Leaf Substack https://guardtheleaf.substack.com/ Guard The Leaf Merch Store https://shop.guardtheleaf.com ----------------------------------- e-7531 (Foreign affairs) https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7531 Trump's tourism envoy criticizes travel boycotts https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Government/Nick-Adams-message-to-the-countries-boycotting-US-travel Record breaking season sees over 1.4 million cruise ship passengers in Vancouver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUKLQBKnKgY Wrong Enough To Know better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywy7m1RO7sE GTL Community Photo Map https://google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1RY_LT1cX8-QSl8LpEoCHhj1MgPjexgk&usp=sharing Proton Email Referral Link https://pr.tn/ref/4Z7GCXPE Guard The Leaf Social Links: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/guardtheleaf.bsky.social Substack: https://guardtheleaf.substack.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GuardTheLeaf/ Hey.Cafe: https://hey.cafe/r/guardtheleaf Discord: https://discord.gg/MuCCQnUQ7u 00:00 Intro 03:11 Nick Adams Is Angry 10:02 Vancouver's Record Breaking Cruise Ship Season 14:34 GTL Community Photo
