Canada’s Big Wins in Tourism, Wine, and Autos — Why Washington Is Alarmed

Описание: 🚨 Canada just hit $84 billion in tourism revenue in ten months. That's more than their steel exports. More than lumber. And American tourists are spending less while Canadians stop coming to the US.
This isn't a travel trend. This is economic warfare by consumer choice. And Washington is finally realizing the continent is splitting apart.

THE SHIFT:
Canada's tourism economy outperformed multiple major export sectors combined. American visitor spending to Canada fell again for the second consecutive period. Canadians redirecting billions that used to flow south into domestic industries. Every dollar that used to go to Florida vacations now stays in Whistler. Every Michigan car purchase now goes to Ontario plants. California wine replaced by Niagara bottles.

For the first time in over 20 years, Canadian purchases of US manufactured vehicles declined across every category. Automotive executives using a phrase not heard since 2008: demand shock.

WHAT THIS MEANS:

40 million Canadians making daily decisions to stop spending in America
Canada's domestic consumption now driving 60% of national growth by 2026
Permanent substitution: consumers found alternatives and won't come back
US tariffs on Canadian goods accelerating the opposite of intended effect
Canada signing new trade deals with EU and China while US becomes isolated
Towns in northern US states reporting declining retail traffic and hotel occupancy
American manufacturing facing potential crisis as predictable Canadian demand disappears

This is dedollarization at the micro level. Not currency, but consumer loyalty and commercial dependence.
