North Dakota missing Manitobans as tourism plunges

Kay Rone used to spot plenty of Manitoba licence plates outside stores, hotels and restaurants throughout Grand Forks on weekends in past years. There haven’t been nearly as many since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020. “Now, you hardly see them in town,” said Rone, who owns Northern Roots Boutique.

Voting with my wallet. No, not Australia's National Election but car servicing.

I normally book my vehicle for service at MyCar as it is the closest to me. When I went to book this past week I was stopped by the fact that some genius decided to make accepting marketing material mandatory for the booking. To add insult to this I, "The Customer"; was then responsible for either contacting a 13 number or if I remember in 2 weeks time, advising the store when I visit to opt out.

Simple fix, booked at a competitor and voted with my wallet. Hello Midas, my new car servicing home.

This is how you lose business forever.

In my continuing quest to do my little part, I ditched Tidal, the US-based music streaming service I was using and switched to Qobuz a French-based service in Paris. Nothing against the US, or Tidal, it's just my little way of putting pressure as a consumer. #canadastrong #votewithwallet #music #musicstreaming.
