Canadian travel to US shows shows a steep decline

Canada has been awash with talk of US boycotts since the start of the trade war. It's a theme that's consumed the Canadian election, which will take place on Monday.What's harder to quantify is the actual impact on spending and travel. Today, Statistics Canada released its cross-border report for February and it shows a real impact, though not as large as touted in some reports. A viral news story last month indicated that Canadian air bookings were down 70% but this number is much more modest. That's no surprise as Air Canada said in late March that its US booking curve was down 10% over the next six months.The bad news is that auto and same-day travel is more indicative of real-time decisions, as air travel is often booked months in advance. It suggests we will see poor Canada-to-US travel in March and beyond.Perhaps a caveat is that February weather was particularly harsh and that could have curbed cross-border road trips. Toronto saw 73.4 cm of snow in February 2025 – roughly double the normal amount and the Feb 13-16 period was particularly harsh. Throughout Feb 2025, Environment Canada issued numerous winter storm warnings, blizzard advisories, and extreme cold warnings in some areas. Another system on Feb 28, 2025 brought ~15 cm more snow to Ontario. Compare that to Feb 2024, which saw no major storms.Weather alone in Feb 2025 likely caused a 5–15% reduction in cross-border trips, or around one-third of the same-day auto trip decline. Along those lines, US auto trips to Canada were also down 6.5% y/y in February with same day down 7.0% m/m despite a very strong USD/CAD in the month.

Tech sector soars: The revival of Silicon Valley giants

Sector OverviewToday's market paints a vibrant picture, led by a robust recovery in the technology sector. Heavyweights Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) have posted gains of 3.38% and 3.65%, respectively, while Nvidia (NVDA) surged by 5.53%, marking a significant upswing in semiconductor stocks.In a remarkable display, the consumer cyclical sector has also outperformed, with Amazon (AMZN) climbing by 7.65% and Tesla (TSLA) skyrocketing 7.48%. Meanwhile, the communication services sector saw Google (GOOG) and Meta (META) rise by 3.84% and 6.07%, respectively.Market Mood and TrendsThe market sentiment today is overwhelmingly positive, driven by renewed investor confidence in the tech giants who have notably bounced back, reinvigorating market dynamics. The upward momentum in tech stocks suggests a potential reversal of recent stagnation periods, with optimistic forecasts for Q4 earnings driving current investor enthusiasm.Performance across sectors such as financials and healthcare, evidenced by JPMorgan Chase (JPM) gaining 4.32% and Lilly (LLY) leading with a 1.46% increase, shows a balanced interest from investors, indicating diversification in trade choices.Strategic RecommendationsGiven the market's renewed appetite for technology and cyclical consumer stocks, savvy investors might contemplate increasing their stakes in these areas. However, caution should be exercised as markets remain inherently volatile.Tech and Semiconductor Stocks: Maintain exposure here. The rebound is significant, but keep an eye on external factors, such as regulatory considerations and future earnings reports, that might affect sustained growth.Consumer Cyclical and Communication Services: Consider reinforcing positions in Amazon, Tesla, Google, and Meta. Their current resilience suggests potential for continued upwards momentum.Diversification: Balance portfolios with strong performers in financials and consumer defensive sectors to hedge against possible tech volatility.To stay ahead in these dynamic markets, continually update your insights with real-time data and analysis.

Nintendo Warns Switch 2 Lottery Will Leave "Significant" Numbers Of Fans Disappointed In Japan

Nintendo has dropped some bad news for Japanese consumers looking to get the Switch 2 console directly from the company, as it has confirmed that a "significant" number of customers there will not be selected as winners of the My Nintendo Store lottery sale. In a statement, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa apologized for the situation and said that applications had exceeded the company's expectations."To deliver Nintendo Switch 2 to all of you, we have been procuring a large number of components in advance and proceeding with production," Furukawa said on Nintendo's Japanese X account (via a VGC translation). "On April 2, we announced the details of Nintendo Switch 2 and began accepting applications for a lottery sale on the My Nintendo Store. As a result, we received applications from an astonishing 2.2 million people in Japan alone. However, this far exceeded our prior expectations and greatly surpasses the number of Nintendo Switch 2 units we can deliver from the My Nintendo Store on June 5. Consequently, it is with great regret that we anticipate a significant number of customers will not be selected in tomorrow's lottery announcement on April 24."Nintendo will host a second lottery event in Japan, but Furukawa stressed that Switch 2 supplies will still be limited. The company also plans to improve on production of the Switch 2 past the initial launch period, and it currently recommends that Japanese fans make plans to purchase the console from other retailers and online store.Meanwhile, Switch 2 preorders in the US will officially open up starting April 24. Nintendo of America will also offer the console through its store beginning in May, with priority being given to registrants who meet a specific set of criteria. The selected people will receive an invitation email valid for three days, which will allow them to preorder the Switch 2, provided they have purchased any Nintendo Switch Online membership, have been subscribed for a minimum of 12 months, and have 50 hours or more of total gameplay hours on their account.After a period of uncertainty, Nintendo revealed that Switch 2 prices in the US will remain unchanged--$450 for the base model Switch 2 and $500 for the version that includes Mario Kart World--but prices for first-party accessories are increasing. Ahead of its release on June 5, Nintendo has also begun sharing more details on the Switch 2, like how the new Pro Controller can be fully charged much more quickly than the original model.

Netflix Builds Detailed Apple Store Replica for 'iHostage' Movie

Netflix recreated an Apple Store from the ground up for its newly released thriller "iHostage," a dramatization of the real-life hostage crisis that took place at Apple's Leidseplein retail store in Amsterdam in 2022.Since filming inside an actual ‌Apple Store‌ was not possible, Netflix and the production team behind "iHostage" reconstructed a full-scale replica of the Amsterdam location. The recreation was designed to match the original ‌Apple Store‌'s layout and architecture, using advanced virtual production techniques to replicate the store's surrounding environment. To build the replica, the production team constructed the interior set on a soundstage, surrounded by a high-resolution LED wall. This display allowed the filmmakers to render a photorealistic virtual version of the Leidseplein area in real-time, simulating outdoor lighting, reflections, and movement visible through the store's large glass façade. This technique has been popularized by productions such as Disney's "The Mandalorian," enabling dynamic camera movement and lighting changes without requiring location shooting. Apple's store design and branding were faithfully recreated based on publicly available references, floorplans, and photographs.The real-life incident occurred on February 22, 2022, when a 27-year-old armed man entered the Amsterdam ‌Apple Store‌ and took a customer hostage with a firearm, claiming he had explosives. The perpetrator demanded €200 million (approximately $227 million at the time) in cryptocurrency and a safe exit. Dutch authorities responded by cordoning off the area and deploying special police units. Over 70 people were evacuated from the building during the five-hour standoff, including customers and employees who had concealed themselves in storage spaces and other rooms. "iHostage" is available to watch on Netflix now.Tags: Apple Store, NetflixThis article, "Netflix Builds Detailed Apple Store Replica for 'iHostage' Movie" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Stem cells need positional signals to drive regeneration, flatworm study reveals

Scientists at the National Cancer Institute and partnering institutions have discovered that Schmidtea polychroa, a flatworm capable of regenerating lost tissue, develops this ability progressively during early life stages. Whole-body regeneration emerges during specific embryonic and juvenile stages, with head regeneration limited until the organism gains the capacity to reset its body's main axis. Stem-like cells are necessary for tissue growth yet insufficient on their own to trigger full regeneration.
