(International travel/tourism to the US is also falling. It dropped 6% in 2025, with accompanying losses of $12.5 billion for the US economy. We are the only major global destination that experienced such a drop in 2025).
Anecdotally, Canadians are staying away from the US in droves. Most of my wife's family and friends, who normally would be spending a lot of time and money here, are going elsewhere.
There is also the issue that their economy is in the shitter. They're unfortunately dumb enough to continue electing leftist idiots who are even worse than Biden on immigration and the economy.

Holy shit that's such a bad print. LOL @unclemark you are gonna be sending your SS up there to help those poors soon enough
Wonder if that's due to Canada's own population drop based on tightening immigration policy. Maybe it's a bit more complicated than Trump being an asshole? In policy, everything is a tradeoff:

"But the increase in newcomers was blamed for putting pressure on the cost of housing, stress on social services and youth unemployment rates."
Trump says that we need to raise tariffs on Canada since the UFMCA trade deal with Mexico, the US, and Canada was a dumb deal negotiated by an incompetent previous administration.
For the record, the framework of the deal was negotiated in 2018 (under Trump), the revised deal was signed on December 10, 2019 (under Trump), and it became law on January 29, 2020 (under Trump). Here's a photo from the signing ceremony. That's a then-less-demented Don in the middle.

@ohio-guy Net negative migration is a bad thing for the US economy. It leads to weaker employment, GDP and consumer spending.

The answer to net negative migration? Have more babies! It costs only $350,000 to $450,000 to raise a baby born in 2026 to age 18.
Canada has imported more cheap labor than the U.S. in recent years and it has been a disaster for their economy. Most immigration is bad for wealthier nations with large governments.
