Staggering Drop of Canadian Visitors to U.S. Cities Under Trump Revealed
Visits by Canadians to major U.S. cities have crashed by a staggering 42 percent during President Donald Trump’s second term, new research has found.
The eye-watering slump in cross-border travel comes amid mounting fury north of the 49th parallel at Trump, 79, who has slapped tariffs on Canadian-made goods, ramped up immigration enforcement, and repeatedly threatened to swallow Canada as America’s “51st state.”
U.S. border towns whose cash registers depend on Canadian visitors have been left reeling as families and business travelers shun the trip south, The Guardian reports.
The 42 percent figure—uncovered by a University of Toronto research tool that tracks cellphone activity—dwarfs the roughly 25 percent drop captured by official border-crossing data, the newspaper said. The researchers said they had been struck by “the marked decline in visits to large metropolitan economies.”
