Summary

Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel in response to Trump’s tariffs and policies. A recent survey found 59% are less likely to visit the U.S. this year, with 36% canceling trips.

Airlines report declining demand, and tourism-dependent regions like Florida and New York’s Thousand Islands are adjusting marketing strategies.

Some Canadians refuse to even transit through the U.S. Businesses in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are benefiting from the shift.

Critics argue Trump’s policies are harming American tourism and local economies.

      You don’t pay us for NORAD dipshit. We’ve been trying for years and the US won’t pay up. We host your nukes, your early detection warning systems, for FREE.

      Parasite.

          Ah that’s true, good point. Got a bit carried away.

          We still aren’t paid for the rest of our NORAD hosting though, nor the highways we have to maintain to Alaska, nor…

      I have lots of problems with that. I don’t want anything to do with any of you fuckhole Americants. We don’t fucking need you, but you asswipes just can’t go a day without trying to take what’s not fucking yours, you fucking kleptos.

      Fuck all the way off, and once there, eat every bag of dicks.

        As an American, thank you, couldn’t agree more…

      America isn’t “protecting Canada”, it’s using Canada as a buffer between itself and Russia.

          Well, now, yeah.

          Maybe that’s why Trump wants to annex Canada - to get a shortcut to his buddy Putin

      It’s so refreshing when trash declares itself so readily and so loudly.

        This bud isn’t representative of .ml though. They’re generally commies whereas this friend is something quite different. They probably don’t know what .ml stands for. 😂

      The u.s. spent less than the EU, on the Ukrainian war.

          Of course you would! As an Americant, we are well acquainted with the scales you things use to impart value on the universe. We all know it’s dollars. We know you’re a shallow, transactional thing who has no capacity for self-reflection or any internal state other than “ME WANT MORE STUFF”. It’s trite, boring, predictable and consistent with my beliefs that you’re a weird, big-forehead-having subspecies (heavy emphasis on sub here). Homo sapiens americantus: the fail ape.
