Globe says Air Canada, rivals see U.S. boycott increase

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that the travel boycott of the United States marked a new milestone in January, with more Canadian residents returning from trips overseas than re-entering by vehicle from the U.S. The Globe's Jason Kirby writes that the total number of people returning from the United States in January was down 22 per cent from the year before, according to Statistics Canada. In January, 1.5 million Canadian residents returned from overseas, a jump of 10.6 per cent from the same month a year earlier. By contrast, the number of residents crossing back into Canada from the U.S. by automobile fell 26.3 per cent to 1.3 million over the same period. The total number of Canadians returning from the United States in January, including by air and boat, is still higher than overseas travel, but is also falling. The travel boycott, which took hold in early 2025 in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada and his 51st state blather, has resulted in 13 consecutive months of year-over-year declines in travel to the U.S. In Las Vegas, the number of passengers arriving on WestJet and Air Canada flights plunged 25.2 per cent in 2025 from the year before.
