Canadians visiting the U.S. were responsible for $20.5 billion in spending last year. Some are now changing their travel plans. “I feel like Canadians have been slapped across the face by Trump.”

100%. My wife and I just canceled our April trip to Georgia and the Carolinas. I've yet to hear even a prominent Democrat condemn Trump for calling for the annexation of Canada. What does he have to do for Americans to revolt? Send tanks into Toronto? Ignore the courts...wait...
I just learned that my daily breakfast of Eggo's is made in the USA. Sadly, even though I have been eating them for at least 10 years, I will never eat them again.
Dear Canadians, Keep up this good fight. We fucking hate him too. Inflation here is rampant, service is shitty everywhere, it’s not a good place to visit. You aren’t missing anything.
Oh Canada, learn from the nightmare we are living here. If you have a form of MAGA there, work hard to keep them from elected office and full control of your country.
Today, if you still don't see that this administration is working for POUTINE, I don't know what will!
And I would add another proof: Trump is implementing tariffs on every friendly country... But you don't see him implementing tariffs on RUSSIA! 🤔 TRUMP AND J.D. VANCE ARE JUST TRAITORS!
It’s a shame really. It did not have to be this way. Trump thinks bullying people and strong arming them is going to make the world respect America, it will have the complete opposite effect. Trump is Trashing America’s dignity.
There is so much more to see in Europe. We actually have ancient cities, the food is better and at least the Europeans actually love the Canadians contrary to the US americans who want to steal their land. So come over Canada, soyez le bienvenu.
Sorry, will not step a foot in the U.S. ever again. Not remotely interested. Never again! Really worried about our sovereignty right now. Tired of being bullied. #never51
They have been. I’m heading to Canada this summer and would be happy to stay for the next four years. I’m concerned the Canadians I come in contact with will hate me because of trump! #TrumpIsInsane
Dear Canada,
Not all people in the USA voted for the POS in the White House. We do NOT support his wretched actions towards our neighbors.
We will continue to fight against ignorance and hate.
Please forgive us.
We know it’s not all of you, I promise. It’s just too many of you. I wish you all the best in your fight, it’s going to be hard. But democracy is worth it.
Looking forward to planning a trip to the US when you win your country back! Until then, we gotta do what we gotta do, I’m afraid. 🇨🇦
Sorry, I am so tired of being bullied and really worried about our sovereignty right now. I can't accept apologies right now. Nobody seems to be doing anything to stop this, that was apparent today. #never51
So far everyone in the World, except for the Criminal Dictators who the Orange Orangutan loves…HAVE BEEN SLAPPED IN THE FACE…ACTUALLY PUNCHED IN THE FACE.
I live in Niagara Falls, NY, and I can tell you 1st hand that the number of Canadians visiting and shopping has all but vanished. They used to be at least 40-50% of the vehicles on our roads, now they are less than 5%. 47 is a cruel idiot.
Don't forget Americans are slapped across the face by Trump too. It's not like Canada isn't going to have to retaliate dollar for dollar at least. And Americans need what Canada sells (crude & energy) more than Canadians needs what the US sells (soft services & bumf they can make or buy elsewhere)
As a CDN, I can say we are definitely watching where our $$ go. Whether that be US travel, groceries, products and retailers and avoiding them wherever possible. We are left scratching our heads, as I believe Trump did the last 🇨🇦,🇲🇽 & 🇺🇸trade deal USMCA..which he now states is very unfair🤔
My family has cancelled upcoming trips to the US, as have extended family members and many friends. Looking forward to coming back when Americans get their country back, but not until then.
I agree with everything Phoebe said. Trump/Elon crossed a line. I don't think I've bought an American product in 2/3 weeks. Not backing down. Though if it is strategic to support blue states, I will do that.
Unpopular opinion. Fascists are simply in the divide and conquer phase. Turning Americans and Canadians against each other is necessary for Trump's expansionist plans. It's possible that within a few years Canada and the USA will be at war for the resources that are being exposed by melting ice.
it's because he DID slap them.
hey i won't step foot in floriduh or texas or any of the states that ban books, women's health care or any other removal of rights from americans.
why should canada take this shit.
the states of California Oregon Washington Minnesota Wisconsin Illinois Michigan New York Vermont New Hampshire and Main would all like to become part of Canada
On a smaller scale, this is also happening here in Germany: everywhere in the eastern federal states, where the extreme right party was ahead after the election, the number of holidaymakers is declining.
It's a gradual process. When the GDR still existed, people were "deprived of free thought". When the Wall fell, freedoms came that many older people couldn't handle. They were simply overwhelmed. The right-wingers took advantage of this and established themselves there. But many of the younger
people, especially women, did not and do not want to accept this.
Added to this is the general worldview of the right: "Germany for the Germans, foreigners out" or "A family consists of father, mother and child. The woman belongs in the kitchen". It is a very backward way of thinking and has
greatly reduced the proportion of young people.
It is precisely this lack of young women, together with other demographic developments such as aging, migration and urbanization, that is creating a vicious circle that has rural regions firmly in its grip.
When people move away, purchasing
power falls. This has consequences for basic services: shops close, buses come less frequently. At the same time, places where people come together are becoming rarer: pubs, swimming pools, cinemas. In addition, if there are no women, that doesn't just mean a lack of purchasing power.
Can confirm. We had two trips to the US this year, and have changed plans completely.
My conservative parents spend Jan-Apr in Arizona, but had to delay this year until Feb. But once talk of tariffs and annexation started, they cancelled. Canadians of all political stripes are pissed.
From Newfoundland to B.C. there are so many amazing places to visit in Canada that will take your breath away and just to be clear we will welcome Americans who want to visit. We are only angry with your government not individuals.
Well, they have. And all, because Justin Trudeau got smiled at by Melania, in a certain way. Canadians should not put up with it, nor give us any of their money until things have been fixed.
The idiot in chief doesn’t give a crap. He is not hurting financially and this will not affect him nor his family. It’s us, the regular folks who not only are paying more for necessities but are also losing customers like our friendly Canadian neighbors. Sadly, our fellow citizens voted for this
We spent 3 weeks driving through the US last year for vacation and had a great time but will not spend a cent until this insanity is over. We love our US neighbours and want to see you get through this!
Our President and his MAGA followers in the US House and Senate are assholes who have embarrassed most Americans by their treatment of our Canadian friends and neighbors.
This year, i will be renting a cottage in Ontario, Canada. I will spend my money were I live until the orange turds term is up. He's gotten on my last nerve!
With 40 million inhabitants this makes around 500 each? Including kiddo and granny? That’s a lot. You can get to Europe with that. Here the eggs are cheap.
I have family in the US and I will likely never go back. Done with the abuse, arrogance, and economic terrorism coming from the US. Y'all can pretty much go fuck yourselves permanently. I'll spend my money in Canada or Europe from now on.
Most people I know have cancelled their already planned trips to the US. There are Canadian flags flying off of houses. People are only buying Canadian products. I’ve never seen Canadian patriotism like this. Keep it up Canada! 🇨🇦❤️
As a Brit, I had a trip planned for later this year to Texas, to catch some NFL/College football. I can't, in good conscience, visit the US right now. It just doesn't seem right.
I have relatives in Toronto where I spent Christmas and I visited Alberta a few years ago, the rockie mountains is still my favourite holiday I've ever done. Absolutely beautiful.
I think if you came to Portland, you’d realize that it’s the furthest thing from Trump world. Most Portlanders feel far more at home in British Columbia than they do in Texas.
I am joining them, I will by overseas produce before I buy American. This is for the farmers who vote for Trump every time and get bailed out by the American taxpayer.
Alienating close friends and trading partners, humiliating Zelenski and serving Ukraine on a silver plate for Putin. Threatening European partners. This is a warning to all US allies and partners from Europe to Asia.
With tensions rising between Canada and the U.S., a potential travel boycott by Canadians could significantly impact cross-border businesses. Will economic pressure shift diplomatic strategies? #Canada #USTradeWar #TravelBoycott
I’ll forgo continuing my backpacking journey on the Arizona Trail this Spring in favour of hiking the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way in Scotland instead. I can’t imagine forgiving America anytime soon.
Any medical professional or PSW that wants to leave the U.S., Canada would love to have you! New Brunswick is absolutely gorgeous with an awesome lifestyle. #never51
We just returned from our second “snowbird” experience in Florida and believe it will be our last. It saddens us because we worked decades to enjoy these retirement years, but I agree we feel like we have been slapped across the face. I’m not sure if things will ever change.
The headline is *Canadians boycott tRump’s America* and I am available to come in as a headline editor. You are clearly not paying for one at the moment.
As an American, we are changing our travel since the election. We will be spending money in Mexico, Canada, and fellow blue states. I will never forget the shit show these Republicans have caused, all because they do not even understand what they support.
🇨🇦 Pissed ? We sure are. Trump should not call our Prime minister Governor. He insults us all. So many people are cancelling their summer vacations on the eastern seaboard. It will hurt the tourism industry for sure.
Hotel owner here in Seattle. I’ve had multiple of my Canadian repeat guests, tell me flat out they are not returning until Trump is out of office. This is 100% accurate in terms of sentiment.
I’ve been working with a travel agent to plan a group trip to BC later this year. I asked him how vacation travel to the US is going and he said it’s fallen off a cliff. Go Canada! There are lots of other fabulous places to visit.
Wow, you’re definitely due then! I live in Alberta, but spent a lot of time on Vancouver Island growing up because my grandparents lived there. Then I went to university in Vancouver. I could never get tired of visiting BC, it’s just so beautiful!
I haven’t spent enough time in Ontario, but have friends there I’d love to visit! Guess it can be moved up the list since I’m at least a few years away from stepping foot in the US! 🇨🇦
WHEN will @democrats.org reach out to the Canadians?? NOW is the time. #Maga has Russia, Suadi Arabia and Isreal.
Where are the Canadians?
Where is the UK?
Fuck it, where is Iran?
THESE PEOPLE BETTER LISTEN TO THEIR PRESIDENT ABOUT THE DAM USA CONS BECAUSE IT WILL COST YOU MUCH MORE LATTER THEN DO NOT BOO HOO WHEN THINGS TURNS OUT BADLY WE ARE IN OUR OWN CRISES DONALD TRUMP IS A IDOIT AND PLAYER ALONG WITH BEEN A TWO FACE LIAR GOD BLESS YOU ALL AMEN:
30% decrease in vehicle traffic at Peace Arch Crossing in just the last month.
20% less ferry travel states from Vancouver Island.
Can’t tariff that baby.
On the flip side. I plan on going to Canada and spending $5k over several trips where I’ll try to spend exclusively at Canadian owned businesses. The Americans that care about our neighbors, and can afford it, need to do the same.
I know several who have cancelled all plans traveling to the states until further notice. That’s hotels, restaurants and gas dollars US business won’t see.
I don’t blame them at all. I wouldn’t come here either.
I will probably Never go to the U.S. ever again. Nobody is talking about the guns that are coming across our boarder, but the lying Nazi is lying about the drugs coming across the border. Trump wants to take over our country. Punch in the face! #never51
“Godforsaken country“? Fuck you. This country is full of people that you also should care about and respect. This kind of post is fucking bullshit. Are you saying the same thing about Italy? A place being run by a fascist?
SOME are changing their travel plans? SOME? ALL must!
The USA is now same as Russia. Travelers aren't safe in the US in Trumps fascist regime. The POS could detain them for no reason. He isn't trustworthy! With the greatest of respect for our Canadian brothers & sisters: Canadians Stay Home!
Good. Don't come. Not because I dont love Canadians but because the only thing these morons understand is money. Please help tank the economy so this thing turns around!
Plan a drive through them, ending in Vancouver. Or maybe take the ferry to Vancouver Island and then ferry back to Seattle from there. Freedom tourism.
Yeah. I live in Palm Springs, CA where we have a ton of Canadian snowbirds. Can't blame them, but we mostly hate Trump in California. You're welcome here.
California, I’m going to miss you the most! I’m from Alberta, and Albertans sure love Palm Springs. I know so many people who have cancelled trips there recently.
I can’t wait to come back, but for a few years I’ve got to spend my money supporting our economy since it’s going to suffer so much.
Something you’d think the most smartest man in the world, who only hires the smartest and best people possible would think about - if he wasn’t always thinking about himself. Canada - Beating Trump like the orange bitch that he is - over and over again.
And why are they doing that New York Times maybe because Canada‘s tariffs on American goods are too high and they’d come here to US to buy our cheaper products with no tariffs on them
The Trump tariffs not only stop Canadians traveling and spending their $$ in the US, it has stop Canadians from buy US products at home. The US goods boycott will have long lasting effects. Canadians are buying Canadian made now. These tariffs only hurt America
Go and spend your money somewhere else. The world is large and broad: Europe, South America, Asia... that's people choice and resistence against the bulliers.
We love you and thank you for your prior support and understand why you will support us. We are with you and will come to Canada but will have to wear a shirt that says I supported her...
We still love our non-MAGA American neighbours, we’re just REALLY mad at everyone else! Thanks for the support, and we’d be happy to have you for a visit any time. 🇨🇦
If anyone is Canadian in the comments, please give information on what cities are best to relocate there! I’m seriously considering moving to Canada 🇨🇦 , and take my entire family with me!
Winnipeg is kind of cheap compared to the other big Canadian cities, but it’s cold here 4 months of the year and we’re the Gotham of Canada for crime rate…but we have an NHL and CFL 🏈 🫤
If you like cities, Montréal, Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Calgary, Halifax to name a few. Some of those choices are quite expensive, like Vancouver and Toronto. I suggest you read about it. If you live in warm part of the US, you may find winters a bit hard at first.

America is a continent
And I would add another proof: Trump is implementing tariffs on every friendly country... But you don't see him implementing tariffs on RUSSIA! 🤔 TRUMP AND J.D. VANCE ARE JUST TRAITORS!
Sorry but it needs to be a big economic hit because we will be crushed by tariffs.
Time to enforce stricter rules to make sure anyone permitted to visit Canada must be fully vaccinated
Not all people in the USA voted for the POS in the White House. We do NOT support his wretched actions towards our neighbors.
We will continue to fight against ignorance and hate.
Please forgive us.
Looking forward to planning a trip to the US when you win your country back! Until then, we gotta do what we gotta do, I’m afraid. 🇨🇦
What a sad thing, sad place it has become
https://www.history.com/news/7-times-the-u-s-canada-border-wasnt-so-peaceful
it's like being in a fairy tale.
won't spend a nickel in any place here that takes rights away...

Safer and much more fun

If it was proven to be more strategic to support Blue states on non-tariff items, that would be considered.
Where are the Canadians?
Where is the UK?
Fuck it, where is Iran?

Can’t tariff that baby.

Americans X’d by Trump.
I don’t blame them at all. I wouldn’t come here either.
US Republicans are stooopid d-bags that ruin everything, F them.
A #PikeCreek toast to #Canada. Solidarity!

I won't be vacationing in the States and have actively avoided US products
Might as well doit in Canada instead. 🤷♂️
