A new poll from Nanos Research just revealed something surprising: 43% of Canadians say they are less likely to travel to the United States in 2026.
Why?
Rising travel costs, global instability, border hassles, and a growing realization that Canada itself might be one of the best places to vacation in the world.
In this episode of Canada Off Script, Randall Arsenault breaks down 10 reasons more Canadians are choosing to stay in Canada in 2026 - from stability and simplicity to world-class nature, wildlife, food, and the unique experiences waiting in our own backyard.
From the breathtaking views of Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies, to iconic destinations like the Bay of Fundy, the Cabot Trail, and the vast beauty of Lake Superior, Canada offers adventures people travel across the globe to experience.
And yes - we’ll also talk about the festivals, the food, the wildlife, and why sometimes the best vacation is the one that starts the moment you leave your driveway.
If you're Canadian: Where should people travel in Canada this summer?
If you're American: You're always welcome here - your dollar still stretches pretty well in Canada.
