Some provinces and industry groups are already exploring ways to support vulnerable sectors, including possible incentives for companies to stay in Canada, and efforts to diversify export markets beyond the US, seeking stronger ties with Europe, Asia and other global partners.

 

At the same time, Canadian businesses might accelerate moves to deepen domestic supply chains, invest in local manufacturing capabilities, or pivot to non-US export destinations. The shift could reshape the North American trade landscape as well as Canada’s economic identity.

The Canadian travel boycott of the United States has seen an unprecedented number of people in Canada skip vacationing south of the border. Recent data from Statistics Canada revealed that overall return trips from February to October 2025 declined by a whopping 21% for air travel and an even bigger 33.5% for overland travel. However, all of this sidestepping of the United States doesn’t mean Canadians haven’t been traveling. 

 

According to the latest figures from Statistics Canada, it turns out that Canadians have decided to stay in their own country following the boycott, kicking off a massive domestic boom that has transformed Canada at the expense of the United States. 

 

Domestic travel was up a stunning 10.9% year-over-year in that period. Statistics Canada revealed Canadian residents took 90.6 million trips between April and June that included a domestic visit. Among the important findings released was the figure that 58.6 million Canadians took same-day and 32.0 million overnight domestic trips within the country in the second quarter.
