Ahhhhhhhhh, now I get it
"OTTAWA — Most Canadians say they won't be spending their tourist dollars in Mexico because of safety concerns, ranking the popular tourist
destination last among five other vacation hot spots, according to an exclusive Ipsos Reid poll conducted for Postmedia News and Global News.
The poll was conducted on the heels of recent reports covering attacks on Canadians while vacationing in Mexico."
............Apparently the people polled NEVER have been to Mexico, and the poll results are based on what they hear and see in the
press........hmmmmmmm, sounds perfectly scientific to me.

Have you read the Milagro Beanfield War? Not as fictional as one might first imagine...  |
That is a clear sentiment shared in Mexico as well. Anyone [and there will be many] who doesn't see and feel it is numb to reality.
Yes....I did read it. Didn't they make it into a movie? [I guess I could look it up]

The thread is about Canadians traveling to Mexico. Everyone knows that the Indian tribes: around Taois don't like the white man or the Mexicans:
Ute Mountain Ute Tribe
Southern Ute Tribe*
Jicarilla Apache Tribe
Mescalero Apache Tribe
Pueblo of Zuni
Ysleta del Sur Pueblo

New Mexico...
Years ago, I did the "BOX", which is a white water rafting route near Taos New Mexico, near Angelfire, a skiing resort..in the Spring..it was
beautiful...I went to a Navajo village, and they were selling different authentic Navajo crafts; the native were very nice...I found them to be
extremely pleasant..we also know that Mexicans talk behind gringos backs all the time much as the Americans talk about the Mexicans...I am the brunt
of many comments about Americans in my business...most of all, the Mexicans like to imitate the American accent...which they would be insulted if we
imitated their accents!!! | Quote: | Originally posted by durrelllrobert

A BEST of ALL Worlds
Would be one in which Canuckians DO feel safe and secure in Mexico, come in droves bringing their Dollars and limited "Sense" thereby enriching the
country AND turn out to be WRONGLY confident in their level of comfort and safety.
