Kristy Gammon used to travel to the US from Canada at least once every other year, taking ski trips at Lake Placid in New York and travelling to Baltimore, Maryland, for her husband's favourite Orioles baseball games.
But those trips are now over, she said. This year, the Nova Scotia resident has avoided even passing through the US on her way to Ontario, a shortcut for an otherwise 18-hour drive.
Since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, the 62-year-old said she and most of her Canadian friends have decided to stop visiting the US as a way of protesting policies they oppose and trade actions Trump has taken against Canada.
"There are so many things that we just feel aghast about in terms of how [the administration] is acting internationally, behaving toward their own citizens, how they're treating their allies and neighbours, i.e. Canada," Ms Gammon said.
Ms Gammon and her friends are part of a trend that shows no signs of slowing.
October marked the 10th straight month of decline in the number of Canadian travellers to the US. Air travel from Canada to the US dropped nearly 24%, while car travel fell more than 30% when compared to the same period last year, according to data released this week by Canada's statistics office.
Overall, the US has seen a 3.2% drop in international spending in the country, driven primarily by fewer visitors from Canada, according to the US Travel Association, a nonprofit group representing the American travel industry.
As relations between the two countries remain icy, mostly in response to new tariffs Trump has imposed, Canadians are apparently committed to giving their southern neighbours the cold shoulder.

They aren’t missed.
The truth is, they’re too broke to travel here! Their economy is in the crapper!
Huh ... I still see a lot of Canuckistanian vehicles on I-81 ...
Too busy shooting ostriches and stealing people’s homes?
It’s only the BBC...who plays the same game of finding the few who will parrot their silly views. Of course, there are Canadians with TDS, but given the BBC, we’ll never get anything close to a real measure of how many Canucks are ticked off. Let us always remember the sources. There are professional journalists. And there are the ones from yesterday’s rapidly dying lying media.
Was I supposed to have noticed?
No one misses those hosers, eh.
I suspect this has more to do with the exchange rate.
The Loonie isn’t getting that much at the moment.
AMEN! and I will return the favor and not spend $$ in Canada.
With their beady little eyes
And their flapping heads so full of lies
Hope this translates to fewer snowbirds.
Bet they’re still coming here for medical care, though...
Yay...more room for Americans at resorts, etc...plus they need us more than we need them
What fresh BS is this? Floridian here, currently under invasion by the annual Canuck snowbird caravan. I just drove up to SC and back and I-95 South was full of Canadian plates. They’re early this year, too.
...or not.
Bull. She must not need health care. Most Canadians get it in the US.
I know many Canadians. They seem to think the U.S. is “insane” now and won’t come here. Dumb asses.
We have enough Chinese and Indians in America already we donโt need anymore from the great (formerly) white north
OH no, whatever shall we do?
