Personal finance and travel expert Barry Choi joins Shane Hewitt to unpack the steady decline in Canadian travel to the U.S. since the new administration took office.

The conversation also weighs the value of making memories with friends and family against financial pressures, and considers whether alternative destinations might win out if a recession hits.
