'These stores, and the communities they support, have endured a long road through the pandemic and years of uncertainty, and financial loss,' she said during a Tuesday press conference on Parliament Hill. Barrett, joined by the mayors of Sarnia and Windsor, released an open letter to the government calling for action to save Canada's land border duty free shops, signed by 15 mayors of Canadian border cities and towns. 'The strain in the U.S.-Canada relationship has triggered an immediate and dramatic drop in cross-border traffic,' Barrett told reporters.

Customer numbers fell almost overnight, she said, and the sharp decline has continued — bad news for an industry largely consisting of independent and family-run businesses that cater exclusively to cross-border traffic. In their letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, the association is asking for government support via Export Development Canada, the Business Development Bank of Canada and the Canada Small Business Financing Program, government reaffirmation of the export status of land border duty free stores, and aligning Canada's excise tax policies to level the playing field with their American counterparts. Some mayors who signed the letter include Sue McKortoff of Osoyoos, B.C., Wayne Redekop of Fort Erie, Justin Towndale of Cornwall and Woodstock, Man.'s Trina Jones.

'There are 3,000 jobs at stake right across the country at duty free stores.' Bradley said duty free stores are still recovering from the two-year border shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, which he said had a dramatic impact. Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens — whose city is home to Canada's busiest land border crossing — said the impact is coming from the drop in discretionary cross-border travel sparked by opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war against Canada. 'Sales in the Windsor region are down by 40% — these are small, independently-owned businesses who've just come back from COVID, we're trying to get our traffic back to pre-COVID levels. We're not quite there yet, and now we've got another hit these businesses,' he said, adding what's happening in his city and Sarnia is reflected in border towns across Canada. bpassifiume@ X: @bryanpassifiume World Canada Wrestling Sunshine Girls Olympics

Travel to U.S. from Canada drops again as domestic trips rise

Domestic travel is increasing at Canada's airports, new Statistics Canada travel data shows, while the number of people travelling by air to the U.S. dropped in April. The data released Monday looked at the total number of passengers who passed through pre-board security screening at Canada's eight largest airports, finding a total of 4.5 million people made their way through those checkpoints, a 3.6 per cent overall increase from April last year. However, the number of those travelling to the U.S. dropped — again — as the U.S. trade war continues. The agency found that of these travellers, 1.1 million were those heading to the U.S., also known as 'transborder' traffic. That figure was 5.8 per cent lower than the number seen in the same month last year. Story continues below advertisement Statistics Canada notes it's also the third consecutive month of year-over-year decreases to the U.S., and compared with pre-pandemic levels in April 2019, transborder passenger counts were down 12.5 per cent.

When it comes to this type of transborder traffic, the agency notes most is concentrated at the country's four largest airports — Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary, which represent more than 90 per cent of all traffic to the U.S. The data shows that each airport saw drops in screened passengers heading to the U.S.: Toronto Pearson International dropped by 5.3 per cent, Calgary International decreased by 1.6 per cent, Vancouver fell by 7.6 per cent and Pierre Elliott Trudeau International saw a 10 per cent decrease. Story continues below advertisement Meanwhile, the number of people choosing instead to travel to other Canadian cities is up, with two million people travelling domestically, an increase of 7.4 per cent compared with last year and a 1.5 per cent rise from April 2019. There's also been an increase of 7.1 per cent in people choosing to travel to international destinations outside the U.S., with 1.4 million heading abroad. Statistics Canada's data shows the number of those travelling internationally is substantially higher than in April 2019 as well, jumping 19 per cent.
