The number of Canadian residents returning from trips to the United States declined again in August, dropping to 2.9 million trips or a 29.7 per cent decrease from a year ago, according to the latest monthly travel data from Statistics Canada.

While the number of trips to Canada by U.S. residents was also down in August, decreasing 1.4 per cent from 2024 to 3.2 million trips, there were more U.S. residents travelling north of the border than Canadian residents travelling south.

I can't help but chuckle.

previously, 'stay out of our country' would be considered rude and potentially racist depending on ya know... things that shouldnt matter.

but now it's more about ensuring safety of others.

it's so weird and surreal

Still travel north. If I didn’t have to come back south I wouldn’t

Effin' eh, cotton. Effin' eh.

[-] Boing@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Because nobody can afford to travel to the US with the price of everything so high here in Canada and continuing to climb as well the Dollar so crappy

No. It is because their govt decided to threaten our sovereignty and talk down about our culture. Also - since I have cut off all of my business in the US, I have more money than I used to, not less. I am working more contracts for EU and Canuck clients, and while they pay a bit less, I also don't have to schmooze with the landed gentry just to keep up appearances.

It's actually mainly because the US is a shithole that we don't want to visit

No, I'd rather just not get sent to an El Salvadorian concentration camp nor do I want to support a country threatening to annex us

That was already true a year ago. What else changed between now and then?

Exchange rates today are $1.39. One year ago they were at $1.38. The rates in the summer of 2025 and the summer of 2024 were pretty similar floating between $1.35 - $1.38.

The exchange isn't stopping Canadians, it's the fascism.

[-] Boing@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah the Fascist protesters that are protesting the elected government.

Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
