The USA's biggest tourism market just disappeared. Canadian vehicle crossings dropped for the first time since the pandemic. 48% of Canadians say they're less likely to visit in 2025. Billions in tourism dollars are likely staying in Canadian communities instead this year. 1/3 πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

You raise a real concern since Tourism is an export product. I think there will be some who skip Canada. Probably not to the same degree as Canadians skipping US visits. We'll probably see bumps from Asia, Europe and maybe South America in 2025 - but will it be enough to replace US visitors?

Aren’t all protectionist schemes just a race to the bottom? That said i agree that the people in supporting DT are a minority. And that a huge swath of Americans disagree and probably want to support Canada. So re American tourists, it may actually be a wash. Until we have stats we just won’t know.
