9 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...

Ontario Premier Doug Ford came out swinging on NBC News today in the wake of the latest news that U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canada as early as Tuesday March 4th. Ford blamed the impending economic 'disaster' squarely on Trump and predicted U.S. workers and consumers would 'feel the pain', that assembly plants in Michigan would close and there would be layoffs in the manufacturing sector. Ford also suggested the U.S. stock market would "go downhill faster than the American  bobsled team."The Ontario response will be strong, said Ford, and include the province imposing restrictions on critical minerals, halting sales of U.S. alcohol products and shutting down "electricity going down to the U.S."U.S. markets are already tanking. American plants and assembly lines will close. Americans will pay more for everything.For the sake of the American people, President Trump needs to pull back his tariffs. pic.twitter.com/FAy0ctvujF&md...
