Toque Off Tariffs: Why a Canadian Getaway at Whale House Guest House Beats the Border Blues
Posted on March 07, 2025, by Whale House Guest House
At Whale House Guest House, nestled on the stunning shores of Mobile, Newfoundland, we’re all about celebrating what makes Canada special—breathtaking nature, warm hospitality, and a little bit of cheeky independence. With talk of 25% tariffs from our neighbors to the south and playful jabs about Canada becoming a U.S. state (sorry, Mr. Trump, our Prime Minister’s no Governor!), we’re doubling down on why a luxury Canadian escape is the perfect antidote to cross-border drama.
Canadians Aren’t American—and That’s a Win for Your Next Vacation
We adore our American friends who visit us each year, soaking in our private stargazing hot tub suites and marveling at humpback whales just beyond our doorstep. We’ve got fond memories of road trips south, too. But here’s the thing: we’re proudly Canadian, and we’re not trading our toques for stars and stripes anytime soon. That’s good news for travelers—our unique vibe, from the rugged East Coast Trail to the serene Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, offers something you won’t find stateside. Love a good hike? Our East Coast Trail guide has you covered.
Tariffs? They’re a Lose-Lose—But Your Getaway Doesn’t Have to Be
Let’s talk tariffs. A 25% hike on goods crossing the border doesn’t just sting Canadian wallets—it hits American businesses and travelers, too. Why let that spoil the fun? Instead of fretting over trade wars, come enjoy a tariff-free escape at Whale House Guest House. Our rates (starting at $99 off-season!) stay wallet-friendly, and we’re sourcing more local Newfoundland treasures—think eco-friendly toiletries and cozy touches—to keep your stay authentically Canadian. Want to unwind like a pro? Check out our hot tub relaxation tips.
Skip the Politics, Soak in the Views
Forget the headlines. Picture this: you’re unwinding in a private hot tub, gazing at the stars over the Atlantic, with whales breaching in the distance. Just 30 minutes from St. John’s, our luxury suites offer a retreat that’s worlds away from tariff tussles. Whether you’re a Canadian craving a staycation or an American friend seeking a fresh perspective, we’re here to welcome you with open arms—and maybe a warm cup of locally roasted coffee. For the best whale-spotting times, dive into our whale watching guide.
