They're quite hurt by what they see as policy and rhetoric that is attacking."Corey Fram is the director of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council, and says the change in tone is taking a toll."And from what I'm hearing, and I've talked to travel professionals from the Canadian side, from the Atlantic to the Pacific this week, what they're hearing from their audiences, whether those are readers or whether those are bus tour passengers, is that some of their folks are telling them they're going to vote with their dollars, and they're not going to come visit the United States."Canada and the U.S. have long shared the world's longest peaceful border between any two countries.
