38.1% fewer Canadians returned to Canada by road from the US last month compared to May 2024.

By air, 24.2% fewer Canadians came back from the US, whereas from all countries was only a 3.7% decline. So, excluding the US, international trips actually increased (my rough estimate about +3.8%).

See the data from this month's StatCan data, "Leading indicator of international arrivals to Canada, May 2025"

If you're one of the doctors wanting to move to Canada and work, Todd Maffin (@tod) is looking to help you. He's preparing quite a number of resources to save you from figuring out the whole convulted process yourself!

As a young person under 35, 3 word slogans from the Conservatives were never going to help me.

I do feel hope for Canada through Mark Carney, because he strikes me as someone who does stuff, rather than just says stuff. Words I like to hear alone won't fix my future. #cdnpoli #carney #elxn45

Sorry in advance folks, I couldn't figure out how to make a Link Post from Mastodon.

Also frightening is Trump's reaction to this on Truth Social, casually referring to himself as king:

"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

 

Trump administration terminates approval of New York's congestion pricing program

*The MTA said it has filed "papers in federal court" in an effort to keep congestion pricing going*
