A new research tool that tracks cell phone activity has found a 42% drop in visitors from Canada to big metropolitan areas in the US that is much higher than official border-crossing data, suggesting Canadians during the second Trump administration are avoiding US cities in particular.
Researchers from the University of Toronto said the tool showed a “year-over-year median decline of approximately 42% in Canadian visits to US metropolitan areas – significantly higher than official border-crossing data, which showed a roughly 25% decline”.
The economies of US border towns reliant on Canadian traffic have been slammed as their northerly neighbours think twice about travelling to the US, put off by immigration enforcement operations and border crackdowns, and anger at Donald Trump’s tariffs and his threats of making Canada “the 51st state”.
But the researchers said that their data also showed steep declines in Canadian visitors to cities, in states such as New York, New Hampshire and Vermont. It also found declines to major tourist destinations such as Las Vegas and Walt Disney World, and to winter recreation areas, including in Florida – typically a central destination for overwintering Canadians.
The researchers analyzed Canadian devices travelling to US metro areas between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2026. As potential explanations of why the 42% figure is so much higher than border crossing estimates, they noted that cell phone data also captured freight traffic, which border crossings do not, and could also track changes in Canadians previously living in the US who left.

Funny, I hadn’t noticed.
Winning!
Maybe they’re visiting the countryside since it’s a lot less expensive than big cities.
Yeh, i miss those big fat guys in speedos.
I guess I am confusing Canadians who move here permanently with tourists?
Aside from whatever other reasons they have, their GDP per capita is about half of ours. They’re poor.
Oh, the horror! How will we ever recover?!!
Cuck cannuks not visiting 😱😱😱
I thought it felt better.
Now if we could only get the rest of the invader perps/peeps to just stop crossing the border.
Only 22% drop in Phoenix. Canadians are poorer these days. That doesn’t help.
“and anger at Donald Trump’s tariffs”
The left-wing writers at the Guardian don’t bother to state that the Canucks had tariffs on us that were 3-4 times the amount we had on their products long before the Trump tariffs were placed.
Maybe the Guardian ought to maybe worry that the swarm of illegal migrants are taking over their country instead of meddling in ours.
“Maybe they’re visiting the countryside since it’s a lot less expensive than big cities.”
And a LOT safer!
Canadians are poorer these days.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Bingo... and with Carney installed at the helm, they are getting poorer.
Reports on Scottsdale real estate market has things firming up allot!
Insiders say libs have finally realized they can either continue to yell at the sky or get back to investing.
We saw a big falloff a year ago with Canadians refusing to come for Snowbird Season.
Who cares?
OK. Nobody here noticed.
So they are basically admitting that the 42% figure is wrong?
