Wish we had trump prime minister then this turd
Mike the moron thinks Trumps own the USA and all its beauty and great people. Have fun snowbirding in Regina clown head . What Trump does own is a rent free space in your Elbowzos brain
Ah the trumparoos are out in full force . Idiots go and live there.
Just saying…blocking commentary on specific articles where you try to construct a narrative is noted, unethical, and painfully obvious to all but the dumb.
I never stopped going to the USA. I have a lake cabin in Idaho about 2 hours from my home in BC. Nothing has changed down there.
Never stopped! USA is beautiful, way more culture and history the Canada and people are outgoing and friendly. Only idiots let politicians sell them lifestyles. Elbowzos UP!
Is Marie an Elbows Up Canadian drinking the Carney/CBC Kool-Aid?
Its disappointing to learn Canadians are travelling to the US. I don’t think a lot of Canadians realize what a threat the US is to our country economically and as a nation. They are very involved in Alberta to have them separate from Canada. Canada paid over 6 billion to build the Gordie Howe Bridge and the US will not allow it to open. I use to love travelling in the US and have family and very close friends that live in the US but I have not and will not cross the border or support that country at all.
There’s no Canadian business case to vacation at home.
Wait what? You are violating the elbows up protocols.
@Anonymous. Then travel elsewhere. You must know there are plenty places that are more beautiful and have better weather than Canada.
No more Elbows Up? Lol
People have a certain amount of money to spend and will shop and buy to get the best value for their money. Whether that be going to the US, buy US products or shopping in US chain stores.
There is a much more beautiful world to see than the USA
I also never stopped visiting and shopping there. Doesn’t make sense on account of one person. The fact is, most of the people down there are just as friendly as they are here. Of coure you wouldn’t know that unless you actually went.
Every one has a choice to go or not. I choose not to spend my hard earned money in the states. I prefer to support my own country. I would do this regardless of what party is in office.
Sounds like some of the Elbows ret ards are waking up. This story won’t stay up for long. LOL
I never stopped going to the USA. Only Elbows Canadians did blindly follow Carneys boycott. Even Trudeau goes to the USA.
Even with the exchange rate, gas prices are still cheaper in the u s. All the border canadians are probably heading down there to fill up.
Traitors. We’re in an economic war with the US. Don’t support the enemy!

For the first time since January 2025, new data from Statistics Canada shows Canadian trips to the United States are increasing.
That data, released Tuesday, indicates that this April, the number of return trips from the U.S. for Canadian residents increased 1.8 per cent year over year.
The spike was driven by trips via car, up 8.1 per cent to 1.5 million, 65 per cent of which were same-day trips. Return trips by air also went down by 7.1 per cent year-over-year to 805,900. All in all, Canadians returned from 2.4 million American trips in April.
Canadians have been boycotting travel to the U.S. following the American administration’s trade war against Canada and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to make the country into the “51st state.”
Trump was sworn into office in January 2025.
In February 2026, Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S. by automobile declined 12.3 per cent to 1.2 million in February 2026, with the number of return trips by air (749,500) decreasing 12 per cent compared with February 2025.
In addition to the increase in Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S., Canadian residents returned from 3.8 million trips abroad in April, an increase of 2.1 per cent year over year.
This marks the first year-over-year monthly increase since February 2025.
Canadian residents also made 1.4 million return trips from overseas countries in April, up 2.7 per cent year over year.
Americans are also continuing to travel to Canada, with U.S.-resident trips to Canada equalling 1.5 million, rising 6.9 per cent from the same month in 2025 and marking the third consecutive monthly year-over-year increase.
In April 2026, 432,700 overseas residents arrived in Canada, down 6.7 per cent from the same month one year earlier. The majority (87.9 per cent) of these arrivals were by air.
Statistics Canada outlines the main driver for the year-over-year decrease in arrivals was fewer arrivals from Europe (-20,800; -10.2 per cent) and Asia (-8,200; -6.2 per cent).
Despite fewer visitors in April, the U.K. remained the top country of residence for overseas visitors to Canada. The U.K., France and Mexico overall accounted for 30.4 per cent of all overseas arrivals in Canada.
