"Quebecers" is absolutely the worst demonym I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.
I'd honestly rather use "Quebecans" or "Quebecinites" than "Quebecers". That being said, I'm francophone so I just say "québécois et québécoises".
The word Québécois in English I think signifies more the ethnic group, than all Quebeckers (ppl who live in Quebec, Québécois or otherwise).
In French, it's ambiguous.
In Ontario I've generally heard and used "Québécois" and don't really hear Quebecers often. Weird that the Montréal CityNews outlet is using Quebecers of all places.
In my mind Québécois is a sign of respect, while Quebecers is dismissive, and I can't explain why I think that way.
I'm from Montreal originally. We call ourselves Quebecers.
Or support Mexican tourism for warm destinations, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
I think a big thing should be support Canada, instead of bringing your money elsewhere keep it in Canada. We are going to have some bumpy times of us.

Supporting Canada exclusively for winter beach vacations is not reasonable, a lot of people want to take a break from winter somewhere warm. This used to be Florida / California, let's start going to Latin America and Europe instead.

We have to be careful with this mentality, isolationism is the exact kind of mentality we are accusing the US of. Let's keep supporting friendly nations to show the US we have other friends to play with.
That’s good, but we need to get that percentage higher. Let’s shoot for 90% or better. Make America tourism hurt.
Come the 4th, and expect stuff to change.
Good, and I'm following suit. Just cancelled a trip I had planned to Boston this September. I'm not spending a dollar more than I have to on the shithole that has become the US.
with tHE Faa being gutted by musk, its not even safe to fly down there.
We are a terrorist nation. This is a good call. Stay safe and stay far away from this place.
half floridas tourism comes from canada and other countries.
Good call. This place is an embarrassment.
Nearly half? Why not double half?
There's a crazy story about a German tourist that brought a tatoo pen/supplies with her on US tourism and was put in jail until her return flight, 29 days, because "obviously she was trying to work illegally in US".
