Canadians' Attitudes Towards Americans Shift, Hurting Border Communities
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
Laurie Trautman, director of the Border Policy Research Institute, warns of a significant drop in Canadian visitors to Whatcom County, one of the busiest U.S.-Canada borders. This decline, attributed to changing Canadian attitudes towards Americans, especially among people of color, has led to a 30-50% decrease in crossings. Local businesses, heavily reliant on Canadian shoppers and tourists, are suffering, with over half reporting losses. Sales tax collections have also dropped. The situation, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and trade war, shows no signs of improvement, with Trautman expecting sustained lower numbers due to economic uncertainty. Checkout Solipillow.com
