I hear in the news about Canadians cancelling their travel to the US. But really, how frequently do people visit our continental neighbours?

Canadians, how often did you go to the US before 2025?

@mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca Canadians spent US$20.5 Billion in the US in 2024, and make up the single largest group of tourists. It definitely hurts them when we stop. A 10% drop is estimated to cost 140,000 jobs there. https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2025/02/03/canadian-travel-boycott-of-usa-2-billion/

10% is a woeful and pitiful reaponse in my opinion. Elbows down like Carney.

@NMBA@mstdn.ca @mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca Oh, it's more, now. About 30% in July. But yeah, we can do better. https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2025/06/10/canadian-tourists-to-us-down-nearly-40-in-may-new-data-says/

@dan613@ottawa.place @NMBA@mstdn.ca @mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca The 97% drop in wine sales was particularly heartening (in fact, we now sell more wine to the former US than the former US sells to us).

Thats the sort of drop we need to be seeing across all sectors.

It would be 100% of the weak link fascist Alberta didn't end the blockade of yankee piss.

This sad Albertan completely supports a Canadian blockade of Alberta piss until the yankee piss is blocked again.
