Why are you all bitching? This is good for Canada, will help to keep Canadians spending their money at home. Now lets give visitors arriving by land a $10 gift certificate, must be spent on a Canadian made product, if they can find one.

Agreed. Quit your bitching' and spend your tourist dollars here. Yanks want to have a cover charge, then maybe they should get a better band first.
You're both deluding yourselves - do you really think that someone is going to say, "Oh no, I have to pay $5.50 on top of the $1000 I'm paying for my flight and the $500 for my hotel" and not fly to the States for a vacation?
Of course they will.
Give your heads a shake - this is nothing more than greed, pure and simple.
I'd say charge the same thing here, but the passport border change recently already means we're seeing less American tourists than we used to. This is yet another case of Canada having to sit quiet and take it.
Trip over yourself to pay a head tax.
Not everyone wants to.
