The Finanicial Post reports in its Thursday edition that a year after President Donald Trump began threatening Canada with tariffs, Canadians still appear to be shunning travel to the south. The Post's Denise Paglinawan writes that air traffic to the U.S. fell 10.2 per cent in February from the same month in 2025, marking the 13th consecutive month of year-over-year declines, said Statistics Canada's airport screening data released Tuesday. The agency said one million screened passengers travelled south of the border via Canadian airports in February, "continuing a notable change in travel patterns amid trade tensions with the United States. Indeed, transborder counts for February 2026 were well below (-12.0 per cent) the same month in 2024, before such tensions." Statcan said people flying to the U.S. accounted for 24.2 per cent of the total number of passengers in February, which is down 27.2 per cent from February, 2025. To compare, outside of the U.S., there were 1.4 million international flight passengers in February, 5.1 per cent higher than the year before. Domestic traffic continued to be strong, reaching 1.8 million that month, up 5.3 per cent year-over-year with all eight largest airports posting increases.
