To be fair, SOME of the hostile behaviour from the USA has ceased, like the frequent threats of annexation.

“The increase was largely driven by more trips by car, up 8.1 per cent to 1.5 million, of which 65 per cent were same-day trips. Return trips by air decreased by 7.1 per cent year-over-year to 805,900.”
Sounds like it was probably driven by shopping trips, hoping for deals.

Yeah ok. Canadian here, fuck that.

No one really cares about the travel boycotts anymore. My wife says a lot of her friends are posting their US travels on social media.
Besides, our former PM went to Coachella so I don’t see why the average citizen should be held to a higher standard.

I have been forced to make more work trips lately so I am unfortunately adding to the numbers. š
But I def would not go for pleasure or vacation. Eff them forever.

I’m disappointed in my fellow Canadians. I understand it takes its toll but am disappointed nonetheless.

Bound to happen. Not too worried about it. I was hoping it would last though. Maybe it’s just a blip.
Either way, I will not be going there for awhile still. To each their own.

So from the article. Day-trips are up 8.1%, while flights are still down 7.1%
So what you’re telling me is that general shopping trips for people near border towns are up a bit, while vacations are still significantly trended downwards. Sounds like it’s still elbows up against their tourism industry. While being against all of USA in general has softened. Y’know since they at least aren’t threatening to annex us anymore.

I live close to the US border and when I’m off to Surrey/Delta/South Surrey/White Rock I can see the border wait times.
For the longest time it was < 20 minutes — so not a lot of people going across.
Last few times I passed the sign, it’s > 90 minutes — more people going.
I realize this is anecdotal, but feels like more are going to the US. š

Well, no matter what, I’m in the category of “No fucking way I’m going there” for the inevitable future.
My elbows are higher then ever before.

All the shit the US has said and done, not just to Canada but to the ENTIRE world and people still turn a blind eye because of nice weather…*Slow clap*

Coming up to mid-terms, the administration in the US is concentrating on how to defraud the results so they donāt end up with Donald āLame Duckā.
If America chooses not to vote again and he maintains control then the next four years are going to be a shitstorm.
I aināt going and no one else should be either with very few exceptions.

When I crossed at Sarnia this weekend to come back here into the US there was essentially nobody at that land border crossing. At 10:30 in the morning. I can’t say I’ve seen that before. Not surprised though. I wouldn’t come down here either if I lived up there still.

This is YOY. What is it compared to 2 years ago. Last years numbers were already decreased due to Trump.

It’s a small increase over April 2025 numbers which was the height of anti-American sentiment.
Anyone trying to use this as evidence of boycott fatigue or any other trend is just projecting.

Travel is still way down from “normal times”.
Everything else aside; World Cup.
