20 million Canadians spend $19 billion in the U.S. each year. This year many say they're staying home

One industry monitor recently found that demand for Canada-U.S. flights has “collapsed,” with cross-border bookings down more than 70 per cent for this spring and summer.

“This sharp drop suggests that travellers are holding off on making reservations, likely due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the broader trade dispute,” wrote John Grant, chief analyst for OAG Aviation Worldwide, in a Wednesday blog post.

“Unfortunately, the law of unintended consequences is once again impacting the airline industry adding to what had already become a softening market.”

1. There are a couple of Canadian snowbirds in my community. Most have gone for the season..

Most snowbirds leave about this time of the year. I hope they return as they’re great neighbors🍁

2. Some are probably afraid of being detained also

3. Canada now has its own southern borders . . .

with riff-raff undesirables living rough south of the border, not to be let in, not to be trusted.
And a definite 'do not go there!' sign on the northern side of the border wall.

How quickly things change! All it took was too many dumb American voters getting it wrong.
