John Paul Tasker / CBC News » The number of cross-border travellers going from Canada to the US dropped by nearly 900,000 in March compared to the same month last year, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data — easily one of the worst year-over-year drops recorded outside of the COVID-19 health crisis.
The border figures show 4,105,516 travellers crossed the US northern border in March of this year, down from 4,970,360 people who did the same in 2024 — a roughly 17% decline that observers say is largely driven by Trump’s trade war, 51st state taunts, and Canada-bashing.
