As a trending news topic I wanted to investigate for myself how much Canadian Tourism to the US has recently declined, and how this compares historically.

The data source I used gives the daily number of Canadians returning from the US by car – I converted this to weekly totals as the daily graph had a lot of variance and was harder to read.

I highlighted every July for easier comparison.

  2. TBH who the fuck would want to go the US at the moment.

    Its a total shit storm

  3. TIL Canadians don’t like COVID or Trump . . . which, well, fair enough.

  4. I’d be curious to see the data going back to 2000.

    Obviously the political climate is not the best for the tourism industry, but the exchange rate from CAD to USD is the worst it’s been since 2002. Coupled with the huge increase in cost of living since COVID, and I wouldn’t expect tourism to increase.

  6. They locked the bank accounts of protestors. Stopped viewing Canada as friendly

  7. They are too broke since Trump putting the squeeze on them. Let’s see the graph compared to Europe and Asia, oh even worse? Nice misleading graph

  8. This is just automobile traffic too, would be curious to see a similar graphic for air travel.

  9. They are asking how people think of Trump at the border and turning people away. I would be even willing to consider going to an NFL game or something but when you ask me to pledge allegiance to your king to cross the border and then ask to go into my phone I don’t know why I would plan anything there for four years. 

  10. Yup. That and the dollar and how expensive EVERYTHING is.

  12. TOURISM… To the U.SA.???

    You must be joking, eh? Straight to jail.

    Sincerely, every Canadian.
