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.
