More Americans are driving to Canada than Canadians to the U.S., report finds
More American travellers drove to Canada in July than Canadians did to the United States, according to a new report by Statistics Canada. This is the first time such a reversal has taken place since before the COVID-19 pandemic. The dramatic decline of Canadians travelling to the U.S. was sparked last year, with U.S. President Donald Trump's heated rhetoric about Canada becoming the 51st state that led to an ongoing trade war and lingering tension between the two countries. The data for last month shows that 1.8 million American residents drove to Canada, compared to the 1.7 million Canadian residents who made a return trip from the U.S. by car. Canadian road trips to U.S. plunge for seventh month as boycott continues Both countries saw a decline at land border crossings last month. For Americans driving to Canada, there was a slight dip of 7.4 per cent compared to the same month last year. It was also the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year declines. However, the decline was much steeper for Canadians returning from the U.S. this July compared to the previous year, at nearly 37 per cent. Last month marked the seventh consecutive month of year-over-year declines, StatCan said. 'In 2024, Canadian-resident trips to the United States totalled 39 million, representing 75 per cent of all Canadian-resident travel abroad,' according to another StatCan report published earlier this summer about travel to the U.S. 'However, recent data on foreign travel suggest that Canadians' travel sentiment toward their southern neighbour has been shifting in early 2025.' Although the data reflects a 'notable change in travel patterns,' StatCan said it is 'unclear whether the change is temporary or part of a more permanent shift.' As for air travel, the number of non-resident visitors who flew to Canada increased in July. There were 1.4 million of them — up by just over 3 per cent since the same time last year. While the bump was largely due to residents who came from overseas (up 5.6 per cent this year), American travellers were also up by just under 1 per cent. The highest number of U.S.-resident arrivals by air was 31,600 Americans on July 3, before the Independence Day long weekend in the U.S. Meanwhile, the number of Canadians returning home from abroad by air last month was down by 5.3 per cent compared to the previous year. In particular, Canadians flying back from the U.S. also decreased by nearly 26 per cent since the same time last year. Canadian permanent residents will now have to pay 'visa integrity fee' to enter U.S. Here's what it is An American sent to Canada was shocked by how furious Canadians are at the U.S. Our website is the place for the latest breaking news, exclusive scoops, longreads and provocative commentary.

Hudbay Minerals (HBM) Climbs 15% on Stellar Earnings, $600-Million Investment From Mitsubishi
We recently published . Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) is one of the best-performing stocks on Wednesday. Hudbay Minerals grew its share prices for a second day on Wednesday, up 15.03 percent to close at $11.33 apiece, following an impressive earnings performance and a $600-million investment from Mitsubishi Corp. In its updated report, Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) said it swung to a net income attributable to shareholders of $117.7 million from an attributable net loss of $16.5 million in the same period last year, driven by higher gross margins and strong cost control. Revenues increased by 26 percent to $536.4 million from $425.5 million year-on-year. 'With the strong performance in the first half of the year, we are reaffirming our full year consolidated production guidance and are favourably tracking well below our full year consolidated cost guidance for 2025,' said Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) President and CEO Peter Kukielski. For the full-year period, the company is targeting to produce between 117,000 and 149,000 tons of copper, as well as 247,500 to 308,000 ounces of gold. In other news, Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) was able to raise $600 million in fresh funds from Mitsubishi Corp. after the latter acquired a 30-percent stake in Copper World LLC. Under the agreement, Mitsubishi will pay an upfront cash of $420 million, with the balance to serve as a matching contribution within an 18-month period. While we acknowledge the potential of HBM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
