Declining Cross-Border Travel: Canadians and Americans Rethink Trips

Recent data from Statistics Canada reveals a continued decline in travel between Canada and the U.S., marking the fourth consecutive month of reduced cross-border movement.  In April, the number of Canadians returning from the U.S. by vehicle dropped 35.2%  compared to the same month last year, totaling 1.2 million trips . Air travel also saw a decline, with 582,737 Canadians  returning from the U.S., a 19.9%  decrease year-over-year. Similarly, fewer Americans are visiting Canada, with vehicle trips down 10.7%  and air travel decreasing by 5.5% .  Experts suggest that ongoing economic tensions, including tariffs and a weakened Canadian dollar, may be contributing to the trend. Additionally, new U.S. regulations requiring foreign nationals—including Canadians—to register if staying longer than 30 days could be influencing travel decisions.  With fewer Canadians heading south, domestic tourism may see a boost as travelers opt for vacations within Canada...

Your lookahead horoscope: May 11, 2025

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You have every right to your beliefs and opinions and every right to express them, loudly if needs be, but don’t expect the world to agree with you. At some stage this year you will need to update your viewpoint to include ideas that you had previously rejected.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The fact that you are highly competitive and that there is a full moon coming up suggests there may be a clash of egos over the next few days. It’s unlikely you will be able to find a compromise solution, so … may the best Aries win!

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Monday’s full moon could send you a bit over the top emotionally but you will soon cool down again and hopefully no harm will have been done. Some people may speak harshly of you over the next few days but they won’t really mean it.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If you promise what you cannot deliver this week you won’t be popular with the people you work with. You may not want to let them down but they would much rather you told them the truth from the start rather than find out about it later on.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Keep your standards high and don’t be tempted to lower them just to fit in with your under-achieving colleagues. You don’t need to be popular but you do need to show you have what it takes to be the best at what you do.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You can probably bluff your way out of a sticky situation of your own making this week but not everyone will be taken in by your show of bravado. If you make an error of judgment it might be best to just own up and pay the price.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you are told something in confidence this week you must keep your mouth shut. It may not be a big deal to you but it will be a big deal to people who thought you could keep a secret. At the very least they won’t trust you again.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may be tempted to make concessions to someone who has been demanding more from you in terms of time and effort but it won’t be enough to placate them. Instead, make it clear you intend to stand your ground whatever the cost.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Monday’s full moon could make it seem as if the whole world is against you but it isn’t true, so don’t overreact. Promise yourself that you will remain serenely calm no matter what pressures and provocations you may encounter along the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The planets warn that your desire to make changes, especially on the work front, could backfire spectacularly over the next few days, so think carefully before pushing ahead with your plans. Why disrupt the status quo when you don’t have to?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Some people enjoy complaining and one such person will annoy you this week. If you are smart you will put your hands over your ears whenever you see them about to open their mouth. You are under no obligation to listen to their moans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Someone you live, work or do business with will be changing their mind every few minutes as the new week begins and it will be intensely frustrating. Let them know you won’t be doing anything further with them until they get their act together.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

If you let your emotions get the better of you now you will regret it later on when it becomes apparent that some people feel they can no longer trust you to make reasoned decisions. Put on your poker face and pretend nothing at all fazes you.
