I still find the amount of travel to the US from Canada too high. I can’t imagine travelling to the US until Trump is out and my tourist dollars don’t support this administration.

Yeah I’ll pass on visiting the country can arrest me based on my race and/or social media history. And honestly if ICE agents are willing to shoot their own citizens in the streets I doubt they’d kick up too much fuss over a Canadian. There are better and safer places to visit right now.

Not buying US booze is an extremely painless way to fight back, and boosts the domestic industry, and yet some provinces couldn’t even last a year.

Early to mid year, a lot of the people I knew vacationing in the states were doing so because they had booked non-refundable vacations. They had acknowledged in some way that they really weren’t interested in travelling there but didn’t want to lose out on potentially thousands of dollars.
That was the case with my family (two adults, two kids) in early February of this year. We agreed during that trip that we wouldn’t be visiting the states until the Trump administration was out of office. There had already been some internet talk of Canadian annexation and then in early February Trump began speaking candidly about it.
Since that trip, we haven’t crossed the border, and we live thirty five minutes from the crossing to Detroit. The world is a big place, and a lot of Canadians are rightfully exploring our own country in lieu of trips to the states. Anyone travelling there for vacations at this point are putting their own selfish desires ahead of their moral ones.

I work in the auto industry and all but 2 or 3 of our few dozen customers are facilities in the US. We have reps going down there on the regular, so I would imagine the 30% drop is actually a lot of the leisure side of travel. No way has it been a good chunk of business travel.

Ngl I have never met anyone irl that purposely boycotted American products.Â
Only by circumstance like a store no longer selling a product due to costs
Celebrating not buying US products and buying Canadian is a signal that Carney didn’t get a deal done with America that he promised. That was the whole point of the Elbows Up campaign. USA is likely to rip up CUSMA and we are really screwed as a result.
