Numbers of return road and air trips continue to fall after trade policy row and threats to annex country

Travel to the US by Canadian residents has continued to drop significantly for the seventh month in a row, as new data confirms that Donald Trump’s threats have helped upend the summer tourism season.

Statistics Canada said on Monday that the number of Canadian residents who made a return trip to the US by car dropped 36.9% in July 2025, compared with the same month in 2024.

There were declines in air travel as well, where Canadian residents returning from the US by commercial airlines dropped by 25.8% in July compared with the previous year.

    Tank us, Canada. We really need to hurt before Conservatives can be held accountable.

      I’m from Missouri, a state under solid Republican control for 40 years. Do not underestimate a conservative’s ability to accept life getting measurably worse so long as the TV keeps telling them what they want to hear
