Canadians have had little interest in traveling to the United States since Trump imposed a blanket tariff on all exports from Canada. The situation only got worse when he began openly musing about his deep desire to see Canada become the 51st American state.
Things escalated quickly, and Canadian government data has revealed the stunning drop in travel to the United States over the last year. Numbers from Statistics Canada relayed to CBC News in November showed that critical cross-border travel had fallen by double digits.
Between February and October, Canadian air travel returns from the United States had fallen by 21%. Even more concerning was the drop in automobile returns, which fell by a staggering 33.5%. These figures will likely get worse as the final travel return numbers from 2025 are tallied.
