In terms of travel to the USA, the reasons why Canadians are not going are beyond finances and 51st states. The issue can be one of safety. I am a member of one of many branches of historical reenactment groups in Canada that play in the USA.
Not anymore. We said no to participating in the USA out of fear for our transgender, queer and members of colour and their security.
If it's happening in droves that means it leaving the USA not repositioning itself in the USA! Now, if your saying the USA is repositioning its money then that would be true!
Trump did us a favor.
Thank God we have PM Carney to be in the right position, at the right time.
It may feel that way from where we’re sitting, Carol-Ann…
But what we’re really seeing isn’t one leader “doing us a favor.”
It’s countries... including Canada... realizing they need options.
Less dependence. More control.
That shift was coming either way…
recent events just sped it up.

This is no joke.
I hear you, Kristine...
and that kind of decision doesn’t get made lightly.
When people start factoring in safety... not just cost or politics...
that’s a different level of shift.
And it lines up with what we’re seeing more broadly...
people and capital both adjusting based on risk, not habit.
Once that mindset changes, it tends to stick.

I get what you’re saying, Christopher... and some of it is leaving, no question.
The difference is how and why.
This isn’t a rush for the exits… it’s a slow rebalancing.
Less “get me out now” and more “don’t put all my money in one place anymore.”
The U.S. is still a major destination for capital.
It’s just no longer the default one.
