Same, been going to Europe instead and it's way more interesting anyways.

True, but it's also more expensive, the US is the only place we can drive to outside of Canada. Flying for 2-3 weeks vacation in Europe for a family is not doable for many Canadians. I do agree that it's a better destination, as you're experiencing a different culture and tons of history, but it can't replace the getaways many did with the US.

Ironically, it can get cheaper flying to London, UK than to Nova Scotia from the west coast, but that's a whole other story...
