In our park all of our Canadian friends and neighbors are here this year. I think they all have a set amount of money that they are willing to spend for a winter south, and are just adjusting to fit within that number. They're serving cheap beer vs the good stuff. :B
It's no different then what the US snowbirds had a few years back when we were adding water to the soup while watching our retirement investments go down.
Since oil is in so many of our retirement stock indexes, it looks like the water will be coming out once again, and it'll be our turn to serve the cheap beer, so be polite. ;)
