California tries to lure Canadians back, but BC minister says "hold the line" on travel
Canadians, don’t let Trump keep you from visiting California.
That’s the message of a new tourism campaign launched by California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Visit California.
“Today we launched a new international campaign focused on encouraging Canadians to come visit the great state of California,” Newsom says in a video posted to social media.
California is a popular destination for Canadians, especially British Columbians— with access via road, boats, planes and trains. But tourism to the U.S. from Canada has been down since the start of President Donald Trump’s tariff war.
B.C.’s minister of housing and municipal affairs, Ravi Kahlon, told Global News he appreciates Newsom’s message and acknowledgement of support.
But as Global’s Richard Zussman reports, despite Newsom’s plea and the ad campaign, Kahlon had a message for British Columbians.
