Canadians are still traveling, but a remarkable number of them are choosing somewhere other than the United States.

AI-generated image of a couple who missed their guided tour.

My tour operator changed the meeting point at the last minute, and we missed the excursion. Should we get a refund?

You showed up where the booking told you to meet, only to discover the operator had moved the departure point shortly before the tour. By the time you found out, the group was gone. If the change wasn’t communicated clearly or early enough, this may be very different from simply missing a tour because you were late.

AI-generated image of a family bickering over their family vacation.

My parents offered to pay for a family vacation, but now they think they get to control every decision. Is that fair?

An all-expenses-paid family vacation can sound incredibly generous until every meal, activity, and free hour comes with conditions. Your parents may reasonably expect some input when they’re paying, but covering the bill doesn’t automatically give them control over everyone else’s time.
