Trump didn't become president until January 20th. That time period is still primarily the Obama era. It will be more relevant to see the numbers from February - June.

And how much of that is because brown/muslim canadians, the ones most likely to be refused, just arent risking the trip? All sorts of groups are saying it is too dangerous (schools, boy/girl scouts etc).
As for Canadians in Trump era: 'Refusals of Canadians at American land crossings dropped 8.5 per cent between October and the end of February compared with the same five-month period a year earlier, according to U.S. government statistics. The total number of Canadian travellers denied entry also dropped: 6,875 out of 12,991,027 were refused entry, a refusal rate of 0.05 per cent. Between October 2015 and February 2016, 7,619 out of 13,173,100 Canadian travellers were denied entry to the U.S., a refusal rate of 0.06 per cent.'
