Does anybody know where is the biggest flock of anti-- 2a snowbirds is located In the east valley?

Gold Canyon Gold and RV Resort, out on 60. Flying the Canadian flag out front.

They jam up all the good bars in the East Valley, locals can't get back in until late April.
 
I"m pretty sure a whole lot of them were on the 17 coming back saturday from the banquet, i'm a nasty driver, just wanna go where i wanna go and fast, so no mercy from me, if you aren't moving down the road in the fast lane, move over, look in the mirror is there is mnore than one car behind you, get the fudgemo outta the way idgit. eyeballing a cactus can be done from a secondary street anywhere in Az.
 
On another note, I17 used to have ornamental orange trees in the medium and it was hoot to tell folks to grab some and have at it, hehehe, and really you could pull into medium and grab some traffic was nada, now this was early 80s, hehe, loved watching the retch, kinda like when someone told me to eat a persimmon when i was back east once, man was that nasty.

It's the driving that drives me crazy...aaargh. 30-35 in fast lane of 45 zone ..... aaargh. Too stupid to get in slow lane when going slow ...... aaaargh. Accelerating from a red light so slowly they're practically going backwards ....... aaargh.
They get pissed at you 'cause they drive like poop.....aaargh. And on and on.
I've always said the best solution for the snowturds is for them to stay home, but send out their money.
 
To be real truthful, I have gone through 3 horns in my car since it was new in 2007. Just because of the lousy drivers on the road., but not all of them were snow birds. And I drive a pruis.

Canooks or just dumb ass easterners ( east of the rockies) that is. Just don't understand that they may be on vacation but others have places to be. Every wreck I saw last week on the 60 had to do with a Arizona plate and a out of state plate. WTF
 
I worked in an industry many years ago that unfortunately, during part of the year at least 90% of my customer base was Canadian snow-birds.

To sum it up shortly, I have never encountered such cheap, condescending, impatient, and rude people anywhere. I made awesome money there (due to a very substantial bonus system) and left because of the Canadian snowbirds. It wasn't worth the stress and high blood pressure. I knew eventually I was going to kill one/two/all of them if I had to keep dealing with them - and I am the most non-violent easy going dude you will ever meet.

I would go to the bank, my fav places to eat, etc - all clogged up with rude, cheap, complaining Canadians.



I am glad I do not have to deal with that anymore. It was seriously detrimental to my health. I could write a book about my experiences - it was non stop, every day.
 
They're gone thank goodness. They had to be out of here several weeks ago. About half my condo complex are Canadians. You nailed it on the head about their attitude and behavior. Now some of that depends on which part of Canada they're from. Western, not so bad. If they speak French at all those are the bad ones.
 
lol, get out and drive around locals if there is such a thing, are driving like ''snowbirds'', traffic is increasing daily, this friday it was busier than i've seen it in weeks, idgit drivers showed up first.

No I think they are going to stay because of the covid 19. They have more freedom here than New York or New Jersey

That would make sense, I've had three Canadian customers. One was Rich(makes more money than all of us here combined), second was just as rich. The other was just typical. The two rich customers was one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. The other one, eh not so much being nice.
 
Met a nice snowbird named John last Tuesday. He's a skeet shooting instructor from Minnesota.

Retired Aeronautical Engineer and an all around great guy. He'll be going home in a couple of weeks.
