8 h. ago Ontario destinations are becoming popular among people ditching U.S. trips

The pandemic and resulting cost of living crisis may have gotten us down, but Canadian patriotism has quickly rebounded to new heights since the Trump administration imposed steep tariffs on imports from the north (along with, you know, threatening to take us over).In an act of boycott, many from Ontario and across the country are renouncing their travel plans to the U.S. in favour of exploring more of the Great White North and supporting the Canadian economy, alongside purchasing more made-in-Canada goods.Though people have been understandably vocal about cancelling American vacations and otherwise voting with their dollar in light of everything going on, we are seeing more and more stats backing this trend up — for example, the fact that the number of border crossings from Canada to the U.S. has already plunged significantly within a matter of weeks.Airbnb is also seeing a major shift in booking habits, with more Canadia...

The enormous Gordie Howe International Bridge was supposed to be a game changer for cross-border trade, but the $6.4 billion bridge linking Canada and the U.S. is looking more and more like a white elephant amid a worsening trade war and American threats of annexation.Spanning the Detroit River between Michigan and Ontario, the bridge was hailed as a new symbol of cooperation between the two nations and longtime trade partners until cross-border relations fell apart in early 2025.Instead, it has become a symbol of the deteriorating relationship between the two nations, and if tariffs remain long-term, the Gordie Howe International Bridge may never live up to its true potential as a cog in the busy international shipping corridor.The new crossing — which officially became North America's longest cable-stayed bridge in 2024 —was designed to relieve overcrowded crossings linking Detroit and Windsor while filling a missing link in the international trucking corridor between ...
