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.

kent_eh ( @kent_eh@lemmy.ca ) English23•23 days agoAmerica isn’t “protecting Canada”, it’s using Canada as a buffer between itself and Russia.

kent_eh ( @kent_eh@lemmy.ca ) English8•23 days agoWell, now, yeah.
Maybe that’s why Trump wants to annex Canada - to get a shortcut to his buddy Putin
