Gaah! I assume that you mean that Trump has made it harder to enter the US somehow.
Driving away foreign tourists somehow incites pleasure in Trump's tiny brain, but here in the PNW, it's a disaster. The BC and Washington economies are so interconnected, any roadblocks erected at the border hurt both of us a LOT.
If this is about stopping and grilling you guys to make sure you're not drug lords or terrorists or Democrats, is there some way you can streamline the process for future crossings, like they do on the Mexican border with the Fast Pass?
After the first few times when Canadian Customs had me pull over and they searched my car, I've always been entered into the computer at the entry booth and waved on through. I hope that Trumptard policies don't further discourage Canadian visitation.
Maybe you could feed the US Customs agent in the booth a Nanaimo bar? Might expedite your entry
The Whatcom Council of Governments' 2025 Changes in Border Volume data show that in December 2025 the volume of southbound vehicles from B.C. to Washington state dropped by 38 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
Apparently Canadians could soon face additional restrictions. A notice dated Dec. 10, from the Customs and Border Protection includes a proposal that would make it mandatory for travellers to share their social media history.
