Canada's Economic Response to U.S. Relations

The tension between Canada and the U.S. has resulted in a significant economic backlash from Canada, driven by anger over the Trump administration's aggressive policies. Canadians are reportedly boycotting travel to the U.S., with some estimates suggesting a drop from expected levels could reach as high as 40% or more. This decline in tourism is anticipated to have severe economic consequences for American businesses that rely on Canadian visitors. The sentiment in Canada reflects a united front against perceived aggressions, which has led to calls for a broader, collective economic disengagement from the U.S.
