   I checked their website, but I can't easily figure out what they mean by   
   "compared to the previous period." But what I get from it is that they saw an   
   increase.   
      
   On the other hand, I didn't get any clear statistical information from the   
   media either. They say stuff like "vehicle crossings are down," but they (the   
   media) are even less specific than CBP (US Customs & Border Protection, a US   
   gov agency.)   
      
    RM> As I've said, our gov't says travelers to the US are down by 40% in March   
    RM> and that's a big travel month here due to 2 weeks off in schools during   
    RM> the March Break (Spring Break there)..   
      
   Based on what I read on CBP's website, our border patrol counts the number of   
   vehicles entering, but not the number of vehicles exiting.   
      
   Does Canada count the number of vehicles exiting?   
      
   I realized something while I was out driving yesterday: We're still in March.   
   The Canadians don't fly south for the winter (hehe) until summer. It's too   
   early to say "Canadians have stopped visiting the USA." Let's see what this   
   summer brings.   
      
    RM> And according to NBC News, Canadian cars crossing to the USA in February   
    RM> was down 23% compared to February last year.   
      
   I'll assume that NBC News got their information from the CBSA, because it   
   aligns more with NBC's agenda ;)
