   That's probably why we only hear it from the people who set up reservations   
   for travellers, maybe not from the hotels themselves.   
      
   Okay, how about this.. Just today one of our small more touristy airlines   
   has closed down two regular runs that go to the USA because they said   
   that the number of Canadians flying to the USA compared to last year is   
   down by 320,000 seats. (That would be a total, not just their flights.)   
      
   And Canadian tourist places are going crazy trying to keep up with   
   all the Canadians now travelling in Canada instead of heading south.

   AT>I don't know what you mean by "the most immediate benefits might go to what   
   m   
     >i-millionaires pay in taxes." What do you mean?   
      
   They are saying that most of the Traiff money collected will be used   
   to lower the taxes for richer people there. I'm not sure where they   
   got that information since Trump would definitely want to hide it from   
   the average person but, unlike here, I haven't heard anything from   
   Trump about using all that Tariff income to subsidize ordinary people   
   down there hurt by the higher prices or job losses. Here they say they   
   will use the money to highly subsidize unemloyment services and shore   
   up companies losing business.   
      
   AT>Also, I don't understand how losing 1.9 million jobs will make prices go up.   
     >What's the scenario that makes that possible?   
      
   The problem with compound sentences. B)   
      
   Prices will go up so people will buy less and companies will possibly   
   be forced to reduce their work force or even close down because of that.   
      
   RM> BUT.. as time goes on, I am really starting to think it is 90% bluff

   RM> from the initial losses, at least ours is..   
      
   AT>I like your outlook on things. I agree with you on this conclusion.   
      
   It seems every time things start to settle down a bit Trump comes   
   up with something new to panic the world. Maybe  he just likes   
   being the center of attention and is willing to say things that   
   can do damage to others, and even your country, to maintain that.
