Boycotts over Trump’s trade war have dented cross-border traffic and pushed tourism boards to retool ad campaigns as Canadian travelers shift their vacation plans to Mexico.

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.

      Of course you would! As an Americant, we are well acquainted with the scales you things use to impart value on the universe. We all know it’s dollars. We know you’re a shallow, transactional thing who has no capacity for self-reflection or any internal state other than “ME WANT MORE STUFF”. It’s trite, boring, predictable and consistent with my beliefs that you’re a weird, big-forehead-having subspecies (heavy emphasis on sub here). Homo sapiens americantus: the fail ape.
