It's a plus for us since we import (sightly) more from the USA than we export to them.

Not necessarily. There are numerous legitimate firms that provide assistance with completing the documentation for visa/citizenship applications in return for a fee.

This, exactly. He's already clearly very unwell (both physically and mentally). It might be wishful thinking, but I can't see him being strong enough to command much respect or support three and a half years from now.

As an example, a quick look shows more flights from Toronto to Barbados this summer as compared to last. Is this entirely due to aircraft being redeployed from flights to the USA? Can't say for sure, but it's likely.

This, exactly. OAG may well be looking at bookings for summer vacations, etc.
