Quick Summary

A Canadian expert on international affairs is warning that the potential fallout from the implementation of Canada's counter-tariffs against the US could be severe due to President Trump's unpredictability. The counter-tariffs are set to take effect at midnight, marking a new phase in the ongoing trade war between the two countries. No specific numbers or details about the tariffs are mentioned in the article. The expert's warning is based on concerns over the president's volatility rather than any concrete effects of the tariffs themselves.

Story summary

American tourism organizations have been aggressively trying to attract Canadian visitors back to the United States through various promotional campaigns since President Donald Trump returned to office and imposed tariffs on Canadian products, causing an informal boycott of travel to the US. Josh Loewen, a Vancouver marketing executive, notes that after Trump’s re-election, Canadian travel to the U.S. dropped dramatically due to the president's rhetoric about making Canada the 51st state and the ensuing trade war. Despite slight improvements in border crossings from May to July, recent escalations—such as the imposition of up to 50% import taxes by both countries—have renewed doubts about any recovery. Loewen believes current efforts to win back Canadian visitors are futile until a new U.S. president takes office and eases tensions between the two nations.
