Airline travel between Canada and the US is “collapsing” amid Donald Trump’s tariff war, with flight bookings between the two countries down by over 70%, newly released data suggests.
According to data from the aviation analytics company OAG, airline capacity between Canada and the US has been reduced through October 2025, with the biggest cuts occurring between the months of July and August, which is considered peak travel season. Passenger bookings on Canada to US routes are currently down by over 70% compared to the same period last year.

Elbows up!

I have a Canadian student in one of my classes. She came in today emblazoned in a red "Liberals" shirt. This one, in fact. She had been home in Ontario during the Liberal Party convention, paid her membership fee, and attended, voting for Carney. She said she attracted some TV coverage because she was up front, and rather younger than the average convention goer!
So, I decided to get the same tee, and I might wear it to class!

I had no plans of voting Liberal in the upcoming election (I was going to vote NDP, which is left of Liberal). My son and his girlfriend were also going to vote NDP. We all feel that the party was going to move a bit to the right after Trudeau’s departure. But given the current circumstances, all three of us will now vote Liberal. We feel that Carney - a person who none of us would have previously aligned with - is the right person for this moment. So the Liberals are getting voters from both the right and the left.
Carney was smart to call the election. He’s following Doug Ford’s playbook, taking advantage of the Elbows Up sentiment, rather than waiting until the fall (which is when the election was going to happen).

@dolmansaxlil I saw tons of stuff that looked fabulous on the site. I’m still skipping spicy foods for now, but I was sorely tempted to order something!
Let us know what you think of their stuff, if you end up ordering something.
