Canadian travel to U.S. shows signs of recovery as boycott sentiment fades
By

Summary
The article examines whether Canadians are ending their travel boycott of the U.S., which began in spring 2025 after President Trump's comments about making Canada the "51st state" and former PM Trudeau's encouragement to avoid U.S. travel. While roughly 57% of Canadians held negative views about U.S. policies, data shows a 10% increase in Canadian visitors to the U.S. in May compared to the previous year, suggesting the boycott may be losing momentum.
