Attracting cold Canadians to the Sunshine State

Orlando has launched a campaign to attract Canadian tourism to Central Florida. Country style coffee-cup maker will be giving away 6 million coffee cups for 6 weeks advertising fun-in-the-sun.

While drinking their morning coffee, Canadians will read "The warm feeling brought to you by Orlando" accompanied by images of whispering palm trees.

But why should Canadians come to Orlando when they have famous landmarks including the CN Tower, a 553 metre tall steel tower, Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome) with a retractable roof, home to Argonauts and Blue-Jays Toronto, the Air Canada Centre home to Toronto Maple Leaf & Toronto Raptos, and Ontarios 1.3 km2 theme park Canada's Wonderland 30 kilometres north of downtown Toronto?

You decide.
