I think the only Canadians going to the US are the ones who cannot avoid it, who have to go for work or family reasons.

Looks like solidarity.

America is just a big shopping mall with a military, run by a lunatic. I'd rather go literally anywhere else.

American here. I endorse this Canadian approach to our current insanity. Boost Canada. Spend your money at home. 🇨🇦

Why does this guy think it is crazy. The US has literally threatened Canada’s sovereign. AND masked vigilantes are busy kidnapping people at gun point off the street.

WOW! Bravo #Canada! You really said “elbows up!” and did the thing! 🇨🇦💪🔥

It speaks of nothing more than common sense.

Was just visiting a friend in a retirement community in Florida. There are a bunch of units up for sale in this popular community. My friend said, alot of them belong to Candians. They are outta here. Who can blame them.

Such as our own country - to which we still welcome our American friends.

So much winning.

Don’t blame you one bit. Hey, all you maga chimps in the tourism industry, enjoy…

I haven't crossed the border in decades and don't think I will ever again.

Same

We used to drive down to Indiana every year (sometimes twice a year) to visit our elderly relatives, who we jokingly said were the 'only Democrats in Indiana'... They both passed in the last couple of years. I'm so glad they're not here to witness what is happening 😔

I can't even imagine what they'd think of this. I bet they'd have some historical perspective that would make experiencing this all the worse...

When Dubya (Bush Jr) was in, they were devastated ~ my cousin would send them political jokes/funny cartoons and they'd say 'We can't laugh about what's happening.' They thought HE was the nadir. If they had lived to see what's going on now, they'd be destroyed 😔

Oh god.... I thought he was too!!

And he *was*(at the time), right?! I don't think any of us knew that SO much worse was possible

1000%!

This was them ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/axed...

Let’s hope we see more conventions in Canada too.

I chirp too much on social media, they go through my phone I’m on a one way ticket to El Salvador…nothing in the US is worth that risk.

Really? It's worth the risk! Speak your mind! You have first amendment rights too!

While I appreciate the encouragement, the US isn’t really worried about people’s rights lately, and the wheels of justice are almost at a stand still. Plus the dollar sucks, so there’s that.

Well being afraid is how we fall!

We are in the fight of our lives! Our Democracy is falling! We have to stand tall! Repubs silence is what got us here! 😡

Yes, you are. Yes, it is. Yes, you do. We wish you the best of luck with your fight, as we Canadians fight for our own country.

Thank You! We wish you the best, too! We want you to know we love our allies!

And if you’re flying over the U.S. to get wherever else you’re going to, feel free to spit on it.

I've noticed far less Canadian, especially Quebec, licence plates on the road, in NY and NJ.

Very wise Canadians

And if there was no travel for work those numbers would be lower.

It doesn't seem crazy to me. Quite rational, in fact

Big surprise. Canadians want nothing to do with the US. Hey, 'Mericans, I have an idea. Don't elect criminals in your highest offices

It would be interesting to see what the stats are for the reverse. Are Americans coming to Canada?

I think there is a 10% decline— fear of how they will be received, fear of the border going back, etc. But on the flip side, we’re seeing a $h!t ton of Europeans Aussies etc so that’s awesome! ❤️

Oh! I didn’t know that. Fantastic!

If you let me in I won't leave.

Same!!

Gonna go ahead and guess those numbers line up roughly with types of travel. I can't imagine anyone coming here for tourism at the moment.

Our Canadian Friends say FAFO..very smart and kind people.❤️👌

And safer. Canadians are a diverse people originally from many of the countries targeted by Trumps illegal and untrained bounty hunters. The World Cup and Olympics will be a shit show of human rights violations if not moved to other countries.

Indeed. Sometimes, I think even we forget how diverse we are as Canadians. Facebook comment sections are rife with racism these days and complaints of "too many" "Indians" or "Africans" or "Chinese", but we are all Canadians. Too many Canadians in Canada is what they're all whinging about.

yeah.... 'crazy' how Canadians aren't interested in being beaten and abducted by unidentified thugs in masks, lacking any documentation, taken places unknown with US claiming not to know where. 'crazy'

The 71% decline in tourism is only a projection, from last March. It doesn't mean anyth—*𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴* Oh. Oh my… And when do Canadians normally go on vaca—𝘞𝘏𝘈𝘛? AFTER May? You mean IT DOESN'T EVEN ACCOUNT FOR NONESSENTIAL SUMMER TRAVEL? Goddam. Finding out indeed, eh? #CdnPoli #ElbowsUp

But you can get a free trip to El Salvador or South Sudan!

The single craziest thing I've ever seen is the US president threatening a peaceful ally & neighbour who has helped them many times. Our Cdn response (not visiting the US it is now a fascist authoritarian state) is very logical & reasonable. Why did it take USians this long to realize this?

People in the US going "oh no that's just politics who cares about that", so detached. Treating life like a show. Like are you kidding? This shit is serious stuff.

Kinder, nicer, AND safer places. Correct. #ElbowsUp #BoycottUSA #cdnpoli

Las Vegas has started laying off people on the strip

No one in their right mind would choose to visit Trump's Amerikkka.

Forget the USA, Canada is the place to go now! www.canada.ca/en/canadian-...

hell, i live here and i wouldn’t even come here to visit

I’ve vacationed three times in Canada since January.

maybe i misunderstood the graphic. i thought it was noting a decline in canadians coming to america. id vacation in canada too, but i would NOT be coming to america right now if i lived in another country

It is. I’m not vacationing in the US this year, and I live in the US.

ah! smart!

Thank you! ❤️

Why would anyone want to come here when our own President sends troops against citizens and bombs other countries indiscriminately?

“A cheap holiday in other people’s misery” Time for a reboot of the Sex Pistols classic. Call it ‘I don’t want a holiday staying with ICE’. youtu.be/2Ah1JM9mf60?...

Eliminate those forced to go for business and I wonder how much lower the bookings would be.

And cruises. People are forced to US ports, but they are just passing through--something we won't even consider. Can you imagine spending $1000s for a cruise only to have Trump's thugs mess up your plans?

I’d love to see pure vacation travel numbers (ie, not due to business or family obligations or those connecting to other destinations including cruises). I also know two people who went down to sell US property.

All that really matter is that the Stanley Cup once again resides in the USA

I believe it. We live in an area frequented by Canadian vacationers. Anecdotal evidence- license plate sighting are few and far between. With Canada Day approaching, this next week will tell the tale.

Remember, New Orleans is not in the United States.

It's not safe here, especially to visit.

Not even for our own citizens, let alone Canadians.

Proud

The $12billion in losses for US businesses are quite impressive too. Flights from other destinations, Europe, UK, Asia, are down too, not so dramatic but still billions.

The bottom fell out.

#BoycottUSA until we’re under new management.

I live in #Texas and enjoy visiting #Mexico. When I lived in the PNW, it was often #Vancouver. Zero good reasons to spend your Canadian dollars in the US. #tourism

Trump said he didn't need us. He made sure ICE showed they don't want us. Dude forgot that his "trade deficit" doesn't include all the money we pump into their tech firms and tourism industries.

Vote with your wallet! Money talks. I don’t think there is one aspect of the economy this administration is going to leave unscathed.

So many safer places too 🇨🇦💕🇨🇦
