The last few years have been a great time for USD people to travel to Canada. I was very surprised at how few US tagged RVs I saw on Newfoundland in 2016 & how few again in Ontario last year.

I've confirmed this with talking to some of the merchants downtown in the tourist zone. They were saying that many tourists were surprised that we have our own currency, that change would be given back in Canadian dollars, couldn't understand how a purchase on their visa card would go through at a different amount and so on.
