New data shows travel to the U.S. is down even more dramatically than we thought.
While official Statistics Canada figures show a roughly 25 per cent decline in Canadian residents returning from the U.S. last year, cell phone data compiled by researchers at the University of Toronto found the year-over-year drop in cross-border trips was closer to 42 per cent.
They found the decline was even more dramatic in some warm weather locales that have historically been hot spots for Canadians fleeing winter weather.
