CORRIERE CANADESE / Crollo dei viaggi canadesi negli Usa: -42%

TORONTO – Altro che calo: è un crollo. La progressiva diminuzione dei viaggi dei canadesi degli Stati Uniti da quando è iniziato il secondo mandato presidenziale di Donald Trump è molto più significativa di quanto sembrasse. A dirlo è uno studio di tre ricercatori canadesi della School of Cities dell’Università di Toronto, Karen Chapple, Yihoi Jung e Jeff Allen, intitolato “Quanto è diminuito il numero di viaggi dei canadesi verso le città statunitensi?” e realizzato nell’ambito del progetto “Mapping Tariffs” che mira a misurare le conseguenze delle politiche commerciali trumpiane, delle minacce di annessione e delle successive tensioni politiche… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

Chute des voyages canadiens vers les États-Unis : -42 %

TORONTO — Loin d’un simple recul, il s’agit d’un effondrement. La baisse progressive des voyages des Canadiens vers les États-Unis depuis le début du second mandat présidentiel de Donald Trump est bien plus importante qu’il n’y paraissait.

Collapse in Canadian travel to the U.S.: -42%

TORONTO — Far from a simple decline, it is a collapse. The progressive decrease in Canadian travel to the United States since the start of Donald Trump’s second presidential term is far more significant than it initially appeared. This is according to a study by three Canadian researchers from the School of Cities at the University of Toronto, Karen Chapple, Yihoi Jung and Jeff Allen, titled “How much has Canadian travel to U.S. cities declined?” and conducted as part of the “Mapping Tariffs” project, which aims to measure the consequences of Trump-era trade policies, annexation threats, and the resulting political tensions.

CORRIERE CANADESE / Community and Police united for a safer region

CORRIERE CANADESE / Comunità e Polizia unite per un territorio più sicuro

TORONTO – A questo umile servitore è sembrato che a volte le “coincidenze” accadano davvero – e “in meglio”. Un esempio è stata la York Regional Police Appreciation Night 2026, tenutasi il 7 maggio.

CORRIERE CANADESE / “Senza Volto”, The Hollywood Pivot

TORONTO – Despite an April court ruling that’s ordered Netflix to refund circa $2 billion to its Italian subscribers (for illegal price hikes), the streaming giant is continuing with its plans to elevate Italian production quality and programming.
