Our principled stand against US threats by its dictator and his cabal of sycophantic lackeys has cost the USA billions in lost revenue.In 2024, Canadian travellers generated almost $21 billion in revenue for Americans.

The decline wasn\u2019t as significant as the numbers in September or August, which saw a 33.9% and 34.8% year-over-year, but the fall was close. The decline also marked the tenth consecutive month that return trips by automobiles have dropped in 2025.<br \/>\nAir travel returns saw a significant year-over-year decline in October as well. Statistics Canada revealed that its data showed return trips were registered at 437,300. This was a 23.9% drop from October 2024. It is important to point out that air travel returns have fluctuated since Trump took office. However, every month since January 2025 has seen a decline in the number of Canadian residents returning from the United States by air.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/suzannerowankelleher\/2025\/10\/10\/canadian-visits-to-us-september-drastic-declines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forbes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The number of Canadians taking road trips into the U.S.\u2014the most common way of visiting\u2014dropped by 35% last month compared to September 2024, according to\u00a0data released Friday\u00a0from Statistics Canada, on par with a 34% drop in August.<br \/>\nThere was also a 27% decline in air travelers from Canada year-over-year, following a 25% year-over-year drop in August.<br \/>\nSeptember was the ninth consecutive month of steep declines in inbound Canadian travel, with double-digit year-over-year drops in both car and air travel to the U.S. every month since April.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/business\/u-s-canadian-travel-loss-9.6974240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBC<\/a> reports that<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Canadians traditionally make up the largest group of international tourists to the U.S., totalling 28 per cent of its\u00a072.4 million visitors in 2024.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Canadian travel to the USA is still <em><strong>way too high<\/strong><\/em>, showing the toxic influence of MAGA in Canadian culture and politics.

Despite more than a century of asking, it has never been granted state status. Why would anyone think Canada would fare better? Okay, PR is full of brown-skinned people, and the racists in the US government have long fought against giving the island statehood because of it. Canada, however, has a high percentage of left-leaning voters who would likely vote Democrat and thus end the MAGA regime.
