Then punish Canada:
Tourism businesses that sell to Mexican customers have been complaining the visa has caused a far larger drop in business than the recession.
“We have about 50 per cent cancellations, and now we don't have new bookings,” said Alain Paquette, sales director for bus-tour operator Amerigo Tours Inc.
Mexicans can't make last-minute travel plans for Canada, Canada is no longer a lower-hassle choice than the U.S., and the visa move has generated an anti-Canadian sentiment in Mexico, he said."
