Summary

Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel in response to Trump’s tariffs and policies. A recent survey found 59% are less likely to visit the U.S. this year, with 36% canceling trips.

Airlines report declining demand, and tourism-dependent regions like Florida and New York’s Thousand Islands are adjusting marketing strategies.

Some Canadians refuse to even transit through the U.S. Businesses in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are benefiting from the shift.

Critics argue Trump’s policies are harming American tourism and local economies.

          You’re living in just about the only country in the world where it’s absolutely 1000% certain that no outside help is ever going to come.

      America isn’t “protecting Canada”, it’s using Canada as a buffer between itself and Russia.

          Well, now, yeah.

          Maybe that’s why Trump wants to annex Canada - to get a shortcut to his buddy Putin

      You don’t pay us for NORAD dipshit. We’ve been trying for years and the US won’t pay up. We host your nukes, your early detection warning systems, for FREE.

      Parasite.

          Ah that’s true, good point. Got a bit carried away.

          We still aren’t paid for the rest of our NORAD hosting though, nor the highways we have to maintain to Alaska, nor…
