Fewer Canadians driving to US amid strained relations
Nearly half a million fewer Canadians drove into the U.S. in February compared to last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection or CBP data shows.
Cross-border travel dropped from 2.69 million in February 2024 to 2.22 million last month — the lowest since April 2022.
Experts say this decline is surprising, as travel was far more restricted back then due to COVID-19 measures.
Analysts link the drop to strained U.S.-Canada relations, citing President Donald Trump’s tariffs and rhetoric.
The decline signals a potential shift in travel patterns, affecting tourism and trade.
The trend raises concerns about long-term impacts on border economies.
Officials haven’t pinpointed a single cause, but observers say the numbers highlight growing unease among Canadian travellers.
