It seems pretty obvious that they (Canucks) love American money more than they love American tourists. It would simplify things for them if we just sent them our funds and never visit Q. The unfortunate reality for them is that we can see what is patently unfair, and we call them out on it. We also expect to not be at a disadvantage when it comes to entry and use of Q. Unfortunately, for us, they own the Q, and as owners, they feel justified in extorting Americans for it's use.

I have made many trips from north side of Q. I don't spend any more with their outfitters than I do with American outfitters. Translation: As little as possible. I have my own canoe, equipment, food. I top off in International Falls, so I won't pay their higher prices for gas. My trips are cheap.
