   AT>Does Canada count the number of vehicles exiting?   
      
   Hmm.. It is Years since I crossed the border so I can't say for sure.   
   I think counts are taken of the cars crossing the bridge or going   
   through the tunnel, and the USA is the only place they can be going   
   if they don't get refused entry.

   March break is a 2 week holiday when the weather is often still pretty   
   cold here, but usually too wet for winter sports, so a lot of people   
   often travel to the USA to visit various places.   
      
   RM> And according to NBC News, Canadian cars crossing to the USA in February   
   RM> was down 23% compared to February last year.   
      
   AT>I'll assume that NBC News got their information from the CBSA, because it   
   ali   
     > more with NBC's agenda ;)   
      
   I purposely chose an American station for that info. The numbers I keep   
   seeing up here are 40% fewer travelers or a total of 500,000 fewer..
