Canadians cancel U.S. business trips en masse amid tariff anger and border fear

Canadian businesses are canceling U.S. trips and avoiding future bookings due to concerns over tariffs and border issues, with a nearly 40% decline in business air travel reported by Flight Centre Travel Group Canada in February.
The cancellation wave has extended bookings through 2027, affecting industries like banking, insurance, and manufacturing.
Tech CEO Oscar Acosta decided to cancel three conventions in the U.S. after hearing about actress Jasmine Mooney's detention and five-year ban from the U.S..
Some companies still proceed with events planned in the U.S. due to prior financial commitments, as noted by Royal LePage's chief executive Phil Soper.
