We'd love to stay longer, and retirees spend money when they're in the US without placing any drain on schools or any US resources. There is a bill in Congress right now which would allow Canadians to stay longer than 182 days. But there isn't much focus on it, or interest in passing it.
Barefoot:

I sure hope this question didn't push a hot button issue for you. Just a curious question that came to my mind.

I hope this bill is passed as it seems logical to me that people should be able to spend as much time as they feel they want to, anywhere in the world. Spending more money to benefit the US economy should be viewed as a good thing.

All :

I am not trying to make a political statement. So please don't throw tomatoes at me.
