Canadian travel to US picks up for first time since trade war — but still far from its peak

For the first time since Canadians started boycotting travel to the US to protest the trade war, trips south of the border have started to pick up — slowly.

Travel to the US inched up 1.4% in April compared to the same month last year, with 1.8 million Canucks visiting the Land of the Free, according to monthly data released by Statistics Canada this week.
