As has been widely reported, a lot of Canadians are changing their US travel plans in protest over Trump's tariffs. Supposedly, there are fewer Canadians travelling south for shopping sprees and sports games and just general vacation purposes. But now we finally have some concrete figures.
It seems like travel to the US by land has declined by about 34% since January, but travel by air has only declined 17%, according to a National Bank of Canada analysis. Statistics Canada confirms that air flights are down about 20% in April 2025 compared to April 2024.
Hmm. I actually expected it to be more. It seems to mean that a lot of Canadians (e.g. snowbirds, tourists?) are still travelling down to the States just like usual. That's disappointing.
