Canadians Head South Again

Canadian cross-border travel is rebounding after a 15-month slump, with nearly 2 million Canadians returning from the U.S. in May — a nine-point-five percent jump from last year. Car trips surged by 15.1%, while air travel remains sluggish. The uptick began in April, reversing a trend derailed by political tension, tariffs, and stricter border checks early in 2025. Gen Z Canadians are surprisingly eager to visit the U.S., with nearly half planning trips — despite cost and time constraints — while Boomers stay home mainly due to political concerns. Still, Europe remains Canada’s top international destination, and domestic travel remains popular too. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
