You tax things tourists are more likely to do. Recreational excursions. Hotels. Airports arrivals.

Too extreme. I’d say there are still plenty of legitimate reasons.

And y’know, bring a pack of matches.

From what I understand, many US towns have been taxing tourists much more heavily than locals. As such, their city budgets are disproportionately reliant on tourism. So a relatively small drop in Canadian tourists leaves a gaping hole in budgets.

If possible, communicate with the councils of the towns you might have visited and let them know why you aren’t visiting.

There should really be a currency specifically for intergovernmental banking, so that no one government can manipulate it to their ends.
