Canadians are *just* as terrified of going *to* the US for the same reason. Like the [Canadian who was detained by Ice](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/canadian-detained-us-immigration-jasmine-mooney) for two weeks. Stories like these are becomming far more & more common.
No mention or investigation is given to events Not being held in the US and relocating to elsewhere, so I’m gonna call this „A Lazy & somewhat lopsided and unbalanced Article“
I’m on the organizing committee of an annual tech conference in Ottawa, and we’re absolutely seeing this effect: Typically over 1/3 of our attendees are coming from the USA, but that number is well down and border concerns are frequently mentioned when we ask previously regular attendees why they’re not coming this year. (Being in tech means that an unusually large proportion of our USA-based attendees are not US citizens.). The other issue commonly cited is tariffs and concerns about Trump creating a recession resulting in travel budgets being cut back.
I’ve also seen the opposite — plenty of non-Americans deciding not to attend conferences in the USA. The border is closing in both directions; but in niche fields where there may only be one event in North America each year, „not going to the USA“ does not imply „attending an event in Canada instead“.
