Tariffs Cut Canadian Business Travel to U.S. Cities, Study Finds

A University of Toronto analysis using cell-phone data found Canadian visits to US cities fell about 42% year over year, far higher than the 25% drop suggested by border data, with declines in major tech/finance hubs like San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston, plus mid-sized automotive ties in Grand Rapids and Flint. The researchers link the drop to Trump-era tariffs, signaling strained Canada–US relations and reduced work-related travel, with only 3 of 267 cities seeing increased Canadian visits; recovery remains uncertain.

Canada bets on diversification after calling US ties a weakness

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s historically close economic ties to the United States are now a weakness that must be corrected, citing U.S. tariffs that have hit auto and steel industries and created investment uncertainty. He outlined plans to diversify the economy, attract new investment, pursue trade deals with other countries, expand clean energy capacity, and bolster defense spending, insisting Canada must not rely on a single partner and must take control of its security and future.

MAGA cheers USA hockey gold as partisan lines sharpen over Canada

Team USA won its first men’s Olympic hockey gold since the 1980s in overtime against Canada, a victory quickly seized by MAGA supporters to celebrate patriotism and mock Canada, with Trump-aligned voices praising Jack Hughes while critiquing rival athletes; Democratic leaders like Obama and Cory Booker praised U.S. Olympians, and Alysa Liu’s women’s gold added to the day’s partisan Olympic moment.

Canada’s Breakup With America: A New Poll Reveals a Widening Rift and a Pivot to China

POLITICO’s POLL with Public First finds Canadians increasingly view the U.S. as a destabilizing and unreliable partner under Trump: roughly 58% say the U.S. is not a reliable ally, about 57% say it cannot be depended on in a crisis, and 69% say it tends to create problems for others. The results show a lasting chill in Canada–U.S. ties, with Ottawa pursuing diversifying partnerships (EU, China, Qatar) and even some openness to closer ties with China as a counterweight, while many Canadians expect a post‑Trump recovery for the relationship, a sizable minority doubt that return is possible. Border-town life and cross-border travel have also weakened amid the shift.

Harper calls cross-party unity to safeguard Canada's independence at portrait unveiling

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper used the portrait unveiling to urge Liberals and Conservatives to unite to protect Canada’s independence and unity from external threats and domestic policy divisions, citing tensions with the U.S. under Trump and rising Alberta separatism; the portrait by Phil Richards includes personal touches and Harper is in Ottawa for events marking 20 years since he became PM.

Ontario Considers Energy Export Ban to US Amid Tariff Threats

Ontario Considers Energy Export Ban to US Amid Tariff Threats

Ontario is considering restricting electricity exports to U.S. states and barring American-made alcohol if President-elect Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian products. Premier Doug Ford emphasized these measures as a last resort to protect Ontario's economy. The potential tariffs could impact the significant trade relationship between Canada and the U.S., with Canada being a major supplier of energy and critical minerals. Alberta, however, ruled out cutting oil exports, opting for a diplomatic approach. Canadian officials are also enhancing border security to address U.S. concerns.
