For the first time since Canadians started boycotting travel to the US to protest the trade war, trips south of the border have started to pick up — slowly.
Travel to the US inched up 1.4% in April compared to the same month last year, with 1.8 million Canucks visiting the Land of the Free, according to monthly data released by Statistics Canada this week.
The increase — the first since December 2024 after months of decline — was driven by car travel, which rose 6% in April, according to the data.
