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.

    Oh the attacks have begun in earnest last night. If you’ve ever mentioned how fucked 'murica and their government is you will find yourself suddenly attacked by anti Canada posters today. It’s everywhere. Don’t fall for it.

      Imagine being so pathetic that you pick on Canada.

      That’s like being angry because the forest has songbirds and you expected quiet.

        There are legitimate reasons to criticize Canada - its treatment of indigenous peoples, global pollution and human rights abuses by its mining companies, its carbon footprint per capita, etc. But these are the bits of Canada the Trumpists would like.

        This bud isn’t representative of .ml though. They’re generally commies whereas this friend is something quite different. They probably don’t know what .ml stands for. 😂

      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…
