Canadians' travel decisions are also being swayed by geopolitics. The poll found that about half (47 per cent) of Canadians are less likely to visit the U.S. in the next 12 months. However, the survey was conducted after the U.S. election in November, prior to President Donald Trump ramping up tariff threats against Canada. Some Canadians have responded to the threat of tariffs by cancelling travel plans to the U.S. Which apply to you?
