Fewer Canadians making the trip south of the border

There continues to be fewer of us making the trip into the United States.

New data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows there were 18,600 trips across the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge to Ogdensburg, N.Y. in June.

That’s down from 25,500 during the same time period in 2024.

It follows the trend that has been seen every month since February, around the same time U.S. President Donald Trump began talking about levying tariffs against Canada.

Statistics Canada reported last week that the number of vehicles with Canadian license plates entering our country from south of the border dropped nearly 25 per cent year-over-year in June at the three border crossings in eastern Ontario.
