This is really the first “normal” summer since 2019. We still had ArriveCan at this time a year ago.

I just spent the last couple of weeks in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. The only personal vehicle Canadian license plates that I saw the whole time I was in the U.S. was one from Quebec in Indiana and three motorcycles together from Ontario in Michigan and some at the border in Sault Ste Marie MI. It was so strange not seeing any Ontario plates on very busy Interstates. I did see many transport trucks from Ontario on Interstate highways and did encounter a some Ontarians in Chicago at the White Sox and Blue Jays game I went to. Hotels workers at places I stayed at said that very few Canadians are visiting right now compared to usual. I can see why due to higher costs.
Another interesting thing is that the price of gasoline in Illinois (mainly Chicago area) is about the same as in Ontario. It was cheaper in the other three states but not the difference it used to be.
