Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 will not be able to enter Canada. Air operators are being instructed to prevent any traveller who presents symptoms of the virus from boarding a plane.
He addressed the nation from self-isolation at Rideau Cottage, updating Canadians on the measures being taken to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the day provincial governments and health authorities have been providing updates on the number of cases in their provinces, with some premiers calling for more action from the federal government, including tightening up the borders.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Health Minister Patty Hajdu, Treasury Board President Jean-Yves Duclos, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair, Transport Minister Marc Garneau, and Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Dr. Theresa Tam will speak from the National Press Theatre.
Does this mean the people from Canadia cannot come to the United States for their annual “Medical Holiday”? I hope so. We don’t need Canadia peeps stressing out our healthcare system for their scrotum tucks and chin lifts. Ratio me now.
About time
Close Roxham Road crossing PERMANENTLY !!
As an American, my opinion to my esteemed Canadians is to seal the cesspool of our bodies and Trump body politic from your great nation and BuildTheWall BuildTheWall BuildTheWall BuildTheWall BuildTheWall BuildTheWall BuildTheWall BuildTheWall BuildTheWall
Wife of a Permanent Resident can enter Canada through the States? Currently she’s on a tourist visa.
Does anyone know if Common Law partners of Canadian Citizen are being able to enter Canada with them?
Mistake to let Americans in. should only be for trade. They will infect us
Keep it that way forever. And retroactively.
What about Harry and Megs?
Roxham road included ?🤪😡
Do the ones crossing illegally count ? Or no ?
Or anybody crossing our border illegally according to billblair
What about temporary residents?
and keep it this way!!!!!
PierreVLeBrun Maybe they should build a wall
We shouldn’t let the Americans in not just because they might have Covid-19. 🤣🤣🤣
America is worse than many Euro countries. I would close it to them, and fast! Come on JustinTrudeau, you can do it. Be the strong leader!
...Anyone seen VancityReynolds ?
I have survived swine flu, sars and h1n1 and have never seen anything like this!
BitterThunder arunbudhathoki
Trump called Trudeau Sat morn (while Trudeau was watching Sat morn cartoons) and told him to get off his ass and set up travel restrictions or else he would close the USA border to Canada IMHO
Why are still allowing illegals crossing the borders
We're not having Harry and Meghan back.
Roxham Rd still open
What length of time is lockdown for? Meant to flying to Canada for 3 week holiday in June from Scotland 😕
Figures everyone is making about Donald Trump! What a bunch of dumb a$$
Why aren't any media asking about illegals crossing into Canada? The system is overloaded!
Last week Trudeau said closing borders don't work. Now suddenly they do. Is he lying again? Too bad CTV reporrees just ask him softball questions.
Kinda late to act their Mr Trudumb. This travel ban should of been done months ago. Canadian Government always so low to act. JustinTrudeau. I can see alot of Civil Lawsuits coming for wrongful deaths against Federal government now.
Need to close the border to US citizens, unfortunately. Will be a game changer.
When is lockdown border going to be effective? Is it effective immediately?
Did they close the boarder to illegals crossing in Quebec yet?
What does immediate family mean
The key is not closing borders, its testing and forced isolation.
Yet, as a Canadian abroad, it's really hard to come back home as requested. We want to comply and fly back early, but any earlier flight we see layovers in Bellingham (no thanks, that's even worst) and we cant get a response online from WestJet about changing our flight earlier!
LeafsLunch1050 Should be all borders. Same for every country. Possibly even provinces and states.
Close the border from the USA!!!!!
I’m American and I would advise you to keep us out. We DO NOT have a clear path forward. CorruptAndComplicitGOP
Should have been done months ago ... but Skippy was worried about hurt feelings. TrudeauMustGo
Phuck the american'ts. Trudeau and our gov't are phucking us. Hope they get infected or they are dragged from office.
Stop pandering to the Economy and do the Right Thing ! Close the Border to the USA and if deemed necessary Provincially too.
Close border to Americans before it is too late JustinTrudeau liberal_party
CTVLondon So relatives can still come. basically anyone can arrive & just say they r visiting cousins. No way u can prove or disprove that at an airport.
All these people who know more than the prime minister and top health professionals. Amazing we even have one case here in Canada
LOL! I’ll bet the prime minister makes an exception for him! He is trying hard to be their best buddy. If he does every Canadian should protest.
As usual, a month late and a dollar short....
We should have built that wall dam-it. Given that. Hope you didn’t bother to tell Trump about our boarder.
... can't wait to help vote your party out. reactive is the worst kind of leadership strategy. kneejerk 👎👎
The numbers of people all people is a fraction of what is normal. Supply chains must be kept open.
People that are in the states for vacation will they be allowed back into Canada?
Huge mistake not closing it to Americans.
Why are they still letting Americans in? I mean, they don't have health care and their rate of infection is high
I couldn't stop the words from falling out of his face. Sorry. 👿
Why are we letting in Americans? Their health care system will drag the virus out longer as vaccines have to be paid for out of pocket there. One would assume this makes Americans more likely to not only get it but to be carriers.
Too late for travel ban . Now more cases from US! Consider lockdown in atleast Ontario . Ppl are ready , schools closed , grocery stock is ready ...,rather than do it late !
Oh thats funny I heard Ole Two Faced was indicted and Trump2020 was in control of New Canada. Prove me wrong.
We’re with you neighbors❤️!
WHAT ABOUT ROXHAM ROAD? Still open for illegals?
What about Roxham Road?
Thank you PMJT for always showing up . While conservatives try to barrage you with idiotic complaints , you leave your family to come out and speak to all Canadians. Your calm approach is appreciated.
Come home? No way I'm going to go home to Canada in this sheetstorm at cold and flu season. Zero strategy from the get-go. Half of twitter knew this would happen a month ago. It must be a conspiracy.
TSNBobMcKenzie bow down to Trump
Suddenly the threat of disease coming across the border matters!
That's one of probably meny mistakes this asshat has done
One horrible decission made after another during his 2nd term JustinTrudeau cdnpoli
Close off to Americans!!!!
We have towns that straddle the US Canada border so it’s impossible to close. Plus that would cut us off from trade.
Mokmo000 Do you think this will impact Kinpatsu's move to Canada?
I’m sorry, why NOT Americans?
How about refugees and new immigrants, are they allowed to come in?
Being a direct neighbour or Washington State, which is struggling containing the virus, this makes no sense!!
So who exactly are they “banning”? Not Americans or close family members of Canadians. Like really!?!? What’s the point!?!
Can't close the US border, we are one economic union whether the politically correct like it or not.
I'm AMERICAN and I want you to close it to Americans! It is too dangerous right now, with the clusterfuck down south.
What about illegals coming thru up state New York into Quebec
I do NOT understand allowing Americans in! Did Trump threaten him or something? If they need product or we need product we will swap at the border. America isn’t doing near enough to contain the virus in their Country. We have tested more citizens than they have!
Too late, menh!
So all new immigrants can still send for the families while Grama gets stopped at the border?
What’s stopping car loads of Seattle & area residents from driving up & infecting the crap out of locals?!? It’s virtually a hot zone ffs 😡
We need to be more worried about Italy and China then the US
89XMorningX About time!
immediatefamily does that make sense? They could be infected from Anyway and that's okay? JustinTrudeau
CTV just reported that the border is closed so that must include Roxham rd as well. Or else they are lying again.
AMERICANS.
Damn that’s racist !! Why would you do that now Is Roxham road closed too JustinTrudeau BillBlair 🤔🤔
Not enough
Does Trudeau not know what is going on in the US. Close the border to everyone dumb ass ! Americans in Seattle have more cases all the time and growing. He always is a little slow !
Stop US citizens from entry! It's rampant there due to lack of testing!
Still need to stop non-commercial travel from US.
Close border.
Racist
How many iranians with both citizenship will comeback here?
So US green card holders are banned as well, right?
People will still be able to ask for amnesty and walk right into the country. This policy is theater that changes almost nothing.
Shut the God damn border to all nations expect Canadians abroad. This government does not no what the hell they are doing. CLOSE THE GOD DAMN BORDER TO AMERICANS AS WELL. Enough of the useless government.
XBomb1 Bout fucking time
JustinTrudeau So closed borders are not racist? Imagine if you were in our position. Our southern border is greatly abused by ILLEGAL immigration. You are lucky. Your Southern Border meets with the US, where most people respect immigration laws. Thank you realDonaldTrump!
SportsCentre This is racist. Why are you closing the borders?!? No prime minister should ever have the right to deny people from other countries to come to Canada and use the social programs afforded to Canadian citizens.
Trudeau is an idiot...hasn't got a clue...he's going to wait until it's too late ...close the borders period...make people stay home period...that is the only way to stop this virus
As for allowing Americans; be careful what you wish for, President Trump may close the boarder z then Canadians are screwed.
Finally some action. Amazing how when Trudeau says act, they act. Otherwise Christie Freeland would be still having conversations. Quite eye opening.
So basically our PM did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
I understand the financial and trade reasons, but OUR health comes before any and every other consideration.
Here is what i dont understand...the provinces are able to make decisions and implement them, but trudeau and liberals on a federal level are just thinking and considering options. All we get from trudeau is um, huh, duh. Not much of a federal leader
He probably kept it open to Americans so he didn’t have to send back Meghan and Harry!
As a returning snowbird, this has been an extremely stressful time, grateful that I won’t be barred by my own country 🇨🇦❤️ No sign of illness but we will self isolate for 2 weeks, any good shows on Netflix I should watch? 😄
It’s because we aren’t in blackface isn’t it!
Let's talk about doing this for immigration for the time being, how about that? 😉
PierreVLeBrun Americans coming into this country should be limited to those in the supply chain and they should be fully screened.
American need to be close they don't have inssurance so most are afraid to take sick leave or consult a doctor. Not that I blame them .
The ferries from Washington to Victoria must be shut down NOW. Victoria has an elderly vulnerable population.
This would be a great headline, if it was a month ago
The people who carried the virus in were not travellers btw the best way would have been to mandate quarantine for every person returning back
....or to those sneaking in from the US” fixed it for you
Great timing drama teacher
JustinTrudeau - family members from infected countriesclarification required
Our boarders should be closed to Americans also. They don't have the pandemic under control. I would expect Canadians shouldn't be going into their country either.
Why not close the border to the US? Don’t worry , just wait for Trump to close it, when the number of infected Canadian are more than Americans, I am sure he will help Trudeau to do it
Pretty sure trade is a hige reason not to close the border. It’s economics and our supply chain on the line. I am not sure I agree either but I don’t know everything that’s at stake
So brave. After the whole world did it.
But JustinTrudeau , you do know that thousands of Americans will cross the boarder to get a free Covid 19 test right?
Actually now you could have left the borders open because all the other countries all over have already closed their borders and Canada must always be the last country to act. Same happened when the world grounded boing max 737, but Canada followed as last to do so.😩😫😩
Is it effective immediately on Wednesday
Weak
Any idea if parents of permanent residents can enter?
What percentage of people on an international flight have their own car at the airport? Many use the Airporter, transit, etc. They will also pick up their pets from kennels, go grocery shopping. Others will now have to take ANOTHER connecting flight. COVID19Canada
Wow xenophobic and racist cancelcanada
TSNBobMcKenzie Too late, damage has been done. These measures should have been taken weeks ago!!!
But seriously I don’t understand why he’s not closing Canada/US borders ? Ludicrous
frank_seravalli OfficialBigTuna
For a minute I didn’t see American citizen looks like I can still move to CAN but I should hurry before they ban us too 😂😂
I thought the official line was that Viruses don't respect borders, so closing Canada early to the trouble spots made no sense. Yet now closing the border to all but citizens + Americans is the policy?
BCBporthawk Have an issue, here's a tissue
It will create much more chaos! Young people are more likely to spread the virus & less likely to get severe infections. Older people are more likely to die from severe infections. The travel advisory should be for everyone with preexisting conditions and people 50. CPHO_Canada
A word is missing: 'Canada to FINALLY close borders' Did he say if Roxham Road was closed for business too?
This virus is running rampant and untested in the U.S. this makes no sense. At least test Americans before letting them in.
The travel site useless and the phone I called for the embassy is an automated message sending you to the site. Has nothing on help for citizens if stuck in the USA. I need to talk to a real human ffs
Hey JustinTrudeau, you are aware Canada is an independent, sovereign country that is in no way, shape, or form a part of the USA right?
PierreVLeBrun What about all the people just walking in across the border ?
So telling that when trump closed the border both the msm here and in the USA lost their minds, when trudeau does the very same thing the msm portrays him as some sort of genius. It’s time for the CDN msm start to hold this gov and Trudeau to account.
Close it down to US citizens. JustinTrudeau CanadianPM
Racist xenophobia
Time to send all those 30,000 refugees back home.
What bout me holding the study permit? CRA is asking me to pay tax next month tho🙄 Did the Americans pay any tax to you Canada?
PierreVLeBrun are we stopping the stream of illegals walking into canada from the U.S.?
CPHO_Canada made comments that we haven’t seen community spread; but also said they are only testing ppl who have a history of travel.... how will they know if there is community spread, if they don’t test ppl in the community?
TSNHockey Doesn’t matter if it’s closed to Americans, no travel insurance available at this time... so
Why not Americans. Under the direction of Donald Dick the Pervert Pres the USA is not ready for this and will be a viral hot spot in no time. Build a wall!!
All canadian citizens.....and americans...wtf.
Pathetic . Everyone makes fun of Trump.. what is JustinTrudeau truly doing to protect us?
Shut Down the US Border in BC. WA State a hot spot for this virus. Do it now. You are just not on the ball buddy !!! You are just unbelievable!!
What are the consequences of not following self isolation - nothing. So if you have an idiot American tourist coming to Canada durning this crisis you think they will adhere. Let’s stop kidding ourselves
JustinTrudeau cafreeland AndrewScheer PattyHajdu 3 weeks ago, borders were not an issue. Inept cabinet says they listen to science and all of a sudden, science has magically changed but not USA visitors. Inept cabinet says those people will self isolate but they cant track
Be clear. Every1 coming 2 Canada are required 2 isolate. Some people in the press conference as saying “we are asking”” we recommend” instead of saying it’s mandated. Look China, Italy & shut everything down & mandate everyone to stay home & self isolate if they have travelled
They really should've restricted all non-essential US travel into Canada as well. The US is struggling with the virus at the moment and they are our neighbour.
Stopping travel is good, but why the exception for Americans?
What about Roxham road? Does that qualify as our border?
What about all the unscreened refugees!
Does anyone know when Non-residents will not be allowed in? Is it Wednesday?
A bandaid on a tumour
CTVLondon Schools are closed for March break then two weeks, but my home daycare is still open. Waiting for the government to decide what to do. While I wait I'm getting sneezed and coughed in by 5 kids everyday....COVIDCanada
I can’t believe they kept this announcement so secret/pending all day yesterday... I was honestly expecting country wide or at least province quarantine
Do you really think people on holiday’s from the US visiting Canada are going to self isolate
Weak sauce PM
I also feel the malls should be closed all the young people that aren’t in school will be at the malls.
I think it’s ridiculous that front line workers are except from self isolation after travelling abroad. They most definitely should be monitored. This is very concerning.
It’s the Americans I’m most concerned about.
CTVToronto USA was quick to close their borders to Canada during SARS - so Why can’t Canada close our borders for COVID 19?!
So basically having Canada as a country of origin is more important than being an origin of illness. cdnpoli cndpoli coronavirus CoronavirusOutbreak COVID19 coronaviruscanada
It's ridiculous to allow US citizens when the US feds are not handling the situation very responsibly. You are not making any sense!!!! I think DJT is calling the shots
It said closed to MOST non Canadian residents.
'I'm all for closing the barn door after the horse has run away.' - Trudeau.
What really is that going to do. If your not in canada then you have been travelling, but we are letting you back in. Wake up people
An student with a study permit is not allowed to enter, but US citizens are allowed. What’s the point?
Lol... but we know it’s our own citizens that are traveling and then coming home and saying ... “surprise!! I’m sick!” This doesn’t really do anything for the people who still decided to do their March break.
Ok so the American citizen comment does not make sense. Anyone anyone crossing the border from Us to Canada has been told to self isolate for 14 days. Who would risk being stuck like that. Who !!!
How is self-isolation enforced? Ministers keep saying “must” and that people have to sign a form indicating they understand the need to self-isolate, but there is no follow-up...
SWSandy_ ..... so a Nation State .... with strong borders .... is that what the Prime Minstrel is saying!? 😂
CTVToronto This is a border closure that’s not a border closure. Political? Ya think!!!!
4 more years of this Canada, Hope your happy
United States of Canada
TSNHockey Does this mean Harry and Meghan have to leave? Asking for a friend...
gemluvr257 I live in Mexico where there are hundreds of Canadian snowbirds. I wonder what they'll decide to do.
JustinTrudeau close it to Americans too. Why keep it open to a country is worst shape then Canada
So that means Roxham road too right
Why US citizens are excluded from this ban? Are they immune to this virus?
TheIndyProjects
K_JeanPierre They should probably close their border to the US as well.
With the poor management of COVID-19 in the US, it doesn't make sense to keep the US border open.
Bandaid for a gunshot wound. Test test test and control all population movement.
Don't they know that US is going to be the next hard hit area? They're not ready.
This is so racist. How can you block people from entering?! This is hate.
What a joke. If the government is serious about trying to slow this pandemic then don’t base this decision on money, allowing US tourists to flow freely back and forth when there is more cases in the US makes no sense, allow commercial traffic,yes,but tourists is a bad decision
CTVKitchener Close it to US tourists but keep supply chains open. Trump must've had a temper tantrum.
Explain why didn’t do it two weeks earlier. The same action, either did it to prevent, either do it to reduce the loss. Sad to see when elsewhere is outbreaking here is just starting.
I approve, as most Females are care givers in the home, two weeks ago would of been better its a good day for us girls USA needs to get on board
America is a mess. Their screening is shitty. Why are they allowed here when several cases in Canada were contracted from America?!
RACIST!!!! 😡
tjzmommy For those visiting - they're still allowing transport and goods. Might need to make that clear, you know so you're not responsible for creating even more social media fear. I know clicks are nice but...click bait stinks like a dead fish
Misleading headline. Americans have free access still, despite ‘hotbed’areas. Washington State / BC border is a prime concern. increasing numbers of American vehicles are in BC at hotels, Long term rentals, and in parking lots of shopping malls. 14 day isolation not happenig
I simply find no reason for not banning the US other than the fact that Canada is a puppet state of the US. Canada did not ban trade with other countries, so the idea of money and business does not work.
Why is China Air still landing in Canada?
CTVKitchener Two months too late, but finally his wife handed his balls back.
They are STILL allowing Americans in who are not among the essential people like the truck drivers bringing in food, etc. What the hell are they thinking Stop American tourism! CloseTheBorders NotEnough TrudeauWorstPM
chuddles11 Why not the US? - Protect us properly
American citizens are now the biggest risk 330m of them.
Close the borders air flights airports before it’s too late and it’s pretty much there now
Apparently it’s been scientifically proven that Americans can not transmit coronavirus to Canadians!
TheGreatRoh While trump is building a wall on the Mexican-American border, Canada is doing a reverse card
Canadian citizens NEED to stay home. Mandate it. Canadians working in close proximity to others will allow the virus to flourish
So the border isn’t closed then? Duh
But illegals no worries. Keep coming and we won’t even know
So now he closes the borders, but when illegals were just walking across the border unchecked he said 'welcome in' what a goof!
TheOffice Season4 Canada Trudeau COVIDCanada COVID19 bjnovak
'Permanent Canadian residents, the immediate family members of Canadian citizens, diplomats, air crews, and U.S. citizens are still being allowed into Canada at this time.' So 'immediate family members of Canadian citizens' are allowed... which means its still an open border..
frank_seravalli Why are Americans excluded? With their handling of this so far, they should be one of our greatest worries.
Hope not too late.
What’s is the legal definition of immediate family? Are the siblings included on it?
Very good... about time!

About time pal
Close off boarder to visitors. Essential workers will have easier time to pass!!!!
What about green card holders from the US?
Look how the open borders crowd instantly reverse their position when the problems actually affect *them* Fakes!
carolkenney611 I would close it to Americans also. They are fighting it there too. With a fool trying to runs things .....
About damn time! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau!!
We need to know what measures will help our people pay rent. People who can't work from home and the trades people who are about to go back to work in masses worried about postponed work and EI running out. If we can't afford our rent and needs there will be chaos in the streets.
Does the include the illegal border-crossers at Roxham Road?
When entering Canada they should not only ask if they have symptoms but they should also take their temperature to confirm it. And also before they allow them the board their flight.
Too late JustinTrudeau - you should have listened to the experts 2 weeks ago! And don’t use racism always as an excuse for your decisions
So if someone's family lives in a foreign country, they can just come on over? And still open to the US, essentially to keep a relationship and financial support going. Not a big enough change made here at all.
CTVKitchener Yeah because they’re handling it beautifully in the US
TSNBobMcKenzie So roxton road is now closed?
The US isn't even testing. You should probably ban us.
ScottMorrisonMP close the border NOW! CloseBordersNow
So...really business as usual. ActNow ShutItDown
Genius. Close the borders, and exempt the 340 000 000 people that are the closest to Canada...
TSNBobMcKenzie Close everything u clown 🤡
For such an important message can he not do the speech in English and then repeat in French rather than back and forth and translation in between? We have elderly people who have a hard enough time hearing and understanding but all this back and forth difficult for some
Get real people. The news has made this a pandemic. The common flu is more contagious and takes more lives per year!
Does this look like America has this under control.
K_JeanPierre Why the exception for Americans? We have it in almost every American state.
WTF..... AMERICANS are IMMUNE from the VIRUS? What about CONGO ILLEGALS “still” allowed in by TRUDEAU COPS...... The RCMP?
What about manufacturing companies? I was told to work from home but my partner still has to go to work and could bring the virus home. What are you doing about this?
Too little, too late moron. You shuffled your feet on this whole thing. TrudeauNotFitForOffice
So we closed the border but Americans can still come visit ?
They had the chance to be proactive but lack of action has made this a reactive measure
Garantee Trump had a hand in their exclusion just my opinion
Mandatory quarantine pls!!!!!
Way too late. Damage is done. Canada will be on it's knees very soon.
So immediate family members of a Canadian citizen or PR, who are not Canadians or PR and coming from Italy, Spain, Iran or other hotspots countries, are allowed to Canada? Am I reading this correctly?
Americans!! What's the point of closing it at all?
ummm the US is one of the worst countries in terms of how it's dealing with the crisis
it's useless! Suggest quarantine all ppl enter to Canada at quarantine designates centres with fees. It will reduce the flow and not using tax payers money. Ppl need to make their own decision if they will come or not. JustinTrudeau
Racism and xenophobic.
As far as I’m concerned liberals have all the blood on their hands for voting this idiot in!
CTVToronto But the US refused entry to more than one hundred Canadians last week. Trudeau seems to be cowering beneath Trump.
Disappointed that he JustinTrudeau didn’t say he was going to hire stephenharper as a consultant to get us through thes trying times. 👀
TSNBobMcKenzie The USA is going to be the biggest risk of imported cases in the coming weeks due to poor management down there. Close it to all, or it’s useless.
My plan is working 😈
JasonBermas they're closing the Canadian border dude
Does this include all unofficial Border Crossings? JustinTrudeau ie: Roxham Rd Quebec?
Wow! What a KNEE JERK reaction
Done with politicians. We need the face of experts in the field to give direction.
About time bud...
do you think he could just get Air Canada to answer the phone?
Why not americans? At this point they're absolutely filthy, just look at their 'leader'. Half measures, again, as usual.
The US should also be restricted entry into Canada.
JFC lock out the Americans too! Shit’s about to get real ugly down there
Should have done this two weeks ago when it could have been very effective. Better late than never I suppose but this man is useless.
Takes a pandemic for some form of sense to enter the Liberal mind
I'm sorry to say but is there any difference in Americans' genetics or kind of coronavirus ? Us is in top 10 countries with disease!!! Trudeau CTVNews
Does this mean the Canadians returning home self-isolate for 14 days, but Americans can come and go as they please? If US citizens want to visit, why are they not asked to self-isolate for 14 days?
SportsCentre Finally
What about Roxham Road Justin south of Montreal? Oh shhh, we dont want to tell the public about this hidden border point
Wow! .JustinTrudeau Why are Americans allowed to come into Canada now? You need to stop Americans from entering Canada. US is so far behind in coping with COVID19! We need to keep potentially infected Americans OUT of CANADA! COVIDCanada covidontario Just let Cdns back in.
Did no one ask if the border closure includes stopping illegal border crossers from entering Canada?
SledgeVanquish Why didnt Trudeau shut down the US border? The Americans/DT are not taking it seriously, their privatized healthcare cant identify cases let alone treat them. The gangrene that is the US is going to drag us down with them unless we saw that leg off now.
Ban Americans till this is over. Allowing Americans in Canada during a pandemic will not flatten the curve.
My uncle’s work just called him and said the border is closed for all except trucks. Unless this is only implemented in Quebec.
About f..ing time...but as always...Libs are asleep at the switch. Thanks Sunny boy. I hope it all goes down blazing at your feet.
In other words the border is still open
TSNBobMcKenzie About time, to little to late
YOU'RE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT CANADIANS !!!! SHUT IT DOWN !
It is a huge mistake to continue allowing Americans into Canada. Community level covid19 is completely unknown due to a failure of their public health response.
TSNBobMcKenzie Will Americans who come to Canada be expected to self quarantine for 14 days? Canadians returning from the US are expected to self quarantine!
American should not be allowed in, their country is so ill prepared, by allowing them in ourcountry, you are putting our life in danger.
Thank you JustinTrudeau 🙏❤
Why are we not closing the border to the only country who is HIDING how many people are actually infected. This is not good JustinTrudeau !! I have supported you up until now but this is not a good choice. You’ve just inflicted ignorance on us.
Why is he outside in the public. Dosen't his wife have COVID-19 Which would make him have to quarinten for 14 days if true. He is a lying goof
This will be prolonged if he doesn’t enforce a mandatory lockdown!! Wtf
CLOSE to all - including US citizens - what if they traveled else where and bring it here - same issue.
Roxham RD...🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️

First good thing JustinTrudeau has done, but he should have done it 2 weeks ago.
Close the borders to the US! Why the favoritism? Are they giving it to us ?
JenniferGrudic I was watching and must've missed the part about American Citizens. I thought he very clearly said commercial traffic from the US was allowed but not visitors. I could be wrong though.
Better late than never. But still way too late
Good , fuck off to their own countrys lolol
Trudeau asks for Canadian to come home now. In some cases this is what that looks like...
most of the positives they picked up traveling in america. So how is this helping
How about PrinceHarry and MeghanMarkle? 😛 Trudeau JustinTrudeau Canada cdnpoli Coronavirus Covid19 Covid_19 COVIDー19 CovidCanada CovidOntario CovidToronto
So just like the rail blockades, the opposition calls for something, JustinTrudeau says it’s unnecessary, drags his feet for a while, then does what he should’ve done a while ago. Maybe if he actually listened to others, he wouldn’t always be so far behind.
Pedo jewellery
Live video of liberal cabinet meeting
When does this take effect
We're not integrated in health care with Americans!!!! Close the borders to ALL non commercial traffic.
About time!
Close the border to the Americans. NOW.
Smart move and now let’s clean up this disaster happening at our main airports with regards to screening and people protecting themselves.
What about the Canadians that are the products of birth tourisms? I guess, they're going to allow the non-Canadian parents who took advantage of birth tourism?
Timeline PM Trudeau. Just be transparent as is your vocation.
WE GOTTA CLOSE THE BORDERS TO AMERICANS ASAP
What about the non permanent residences who live in Canada Right now?
Stop USA citizens from coming in.
Is it effective immediately ?
Still no money for sick workers or paid sick leave. Liberals are botching this so hard

Is US border open to Canadian citizens?
Why not Americans? In case they need toilet paper? 🤪 We won't reduce the curve if we don't 100% shutdown overprepare
That’s neoliberals for you. Profit over people. They don’t give a shit for average joes. Trudeau and family will get ventilators. Rest of us are doomed.
Exclude Americans
TSNBobMcKenzie From Houston and y'all should ban US citizens from entering your country. It's out of hand here and our population base makes it too easy to spread.
TSNHockey Close the borders already... total lockdown and nip this in the bud!!!! Close everything!!!!!!
SportsCentre Trudeau announces today that he is in waaaaaaaaaaay over his head !!!!
Why not Americans?
What a weak leader!
I thought viruses didn't respect borders? Isn't this racist. I thought diversity was our strength? I have so many questions. FailedState LedByMorons
CTVToronto shuterdown non essential workers next !
Fuck the Americans. They’re infection rate is getting out of control
PierreVLeBrun Hopefully this is not too late
The U.S has a high infection rate. Nearly 4000. Dont let them in. Specially because thier president was trying to buy the vaccine just for the Americans. And probably price gouge it for us
CTVToronto No science, just being pressured by Trump to let US citizen in ...
Little late weakling...
Better late than never! But he still wants them ILLEGALS to be able to fall over the border for free healthcare and votes!!
PierreVLeBrun Wow, I thought closing the border to foreigners during a pandemic was racist. That's what the US media said when Trump did it
Allowing US citizens is to keep the shipping and trucking supply chains functioning. I'm sure it's reciprocal.
CTVToronto Need to enforce mandatory quarantine for 14 days for all those entering, Canadian or not, otherwise this is useless
your headline on the live Trudeau feed said border closed to Non-Residents. Can you confirm Non-Residents or Non-Canadian Citizens? We live in US but my wife is an ER Nurse in Canada.
TSNBobMcKenzie If the US was taking this thing seriously, and viewed Canadian citizens as a threat, you know damn well they’d shut their border off to us! Trudeau is very concerned about the child like backlash that would come his way from Trump, if Canada was to close the border off to US.
Stop Americans from coming in.
TSNBobMcKenzie Close the border for any flights leaving the country too if you’re a resident. Don’t need irresponsible people leaving and coming back and ignoring the warnings. Yes that’s happening right now.
PierreVLeBrun Racist!
Leaving it open with USA is enough by itself.
CTVToronto There’s a half a$$ solution
Does that include migrants crossing at Roxham Road?
Wow that’s all?
would have liked to see stronger measures as the window to flatten the curve is narrowing. seeing how the US response has been so slow they should have close it all down cept for essentials. US is going to explode with cases soon. hope it won't be too late.
Does this include Roxham road where the illegals are coming in?
US is the biggest risk and we aren’t closing border stupid COVIDCanada
CPC_HQ AndrewScheer Hey, BillBlair and JustinTrudeau: Does this mean Roxham Road will be closed and the illegals violating our laws will be denied entry?
maddyeisenberg America is nowhere near on top of this pandemic. Why are we leaving our borders open to them? Mandatory quarantine for those coming back into our country, close the borders. Time to get real. I’ve supported Trudeau since 2015...this is disappointing.
So will all private sector workers staff small business independent providers get reimbursed Has the government done anything yet
K_JeanPierre Does Melania know about this?
Including the illegal border crossings in Quebec?
Must watch!!
K_JeanPierre Good
Isn't that xenophobic? I thought diversity was our strength?
YanHakimGD I can't understand the exemption for U.S. citizens. My son was supposed to come visit me and we have decided to change his plans. It seems very unwise to allow non-essential cross border travel between U.S. and Canada.

Should have done this weeks ago! It's almost too late now
SportsCentre WTF if he wants to save Canadians lives or keep us safe why isn’t he restricting American Citizens. Seems to me that not restricting them will not keep us safe.
This isn’t enough. This country doesn’t listen to the recommendations as it is. Apparently we need to be grounded to our homes like disobedient children to stop this spread. More people are going to die under Trudeau. Lock the damn country down.
TSNBobMcKenzie Funny how the people who want open borders and free movement are completely silent now.
TheSocialCTV ISOLATE everyone that come's in somewhere! FullStop
Why is the US allowed in ? trump is doing nothing in his country to slow this down?
UbiJustin elizabethDjolly
Nice job on translating CTV. Fire that guy
Does this include Roxham Road? Obviously not, otherwise her wouldn't have bannes Rebel Media from attending.
See how the coverage compares against other news outlets on Ground News COVID19 JustinTrudeau Coronavirus Videos Medical
Why are you guys doing an English voiceover during his french statements How am I supposed to under what he is saying?
About time!
NatCitizens It should have been done months ago. TrudeauMustGo LiberalsMustGo PeoplesParty
Remember though, this doesn’t work.
CTVToronto Thats what i wanted to hear since last week
PierreVLeBrun This should've happened weeks ago.
PierreVLeBrun So basically if you're a permanent resident you can fly your immediate family over here and we will get stuck with the medical bill. Stupid idea
So no Seravalli?
TSNBobMcKenzie Huge mistake allowing American citizens into the country. These reactions are not significant.
Late but necessary measure.
Why not close the border to the US? And why aren’t flights from the US, Mexico and the Carribean part of the resitrictions?
sitting here waiting for the Americans to start running north
PierreVLeBrun Yaay we can still go to Canada. Love you. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
TSNBobMcKenzie I would love to stay home and isolate, force closures of factories so I can avoid being in close contact to 3000 people a day
The US seems the least prepared country and they're still allowing them? 🤯
If we are banning certain foreigners, you would think US citizens would have the list.
Like many others in this thread, I don’t understand why US citizens are exempt.
PierreVLeBrun Americans be like:
Isn’t America, where it’s spreading fast and also unknown largely, be block from land border in southern Ontario especially. I don’t get it
Breaking: trudeau has changed his look again.
PierreVLeBrun Ban US travel. They aren’t taking it seriously.
PierreVLeBrun Did he really need to waste people’s time announcing the same old.
Racist
Narayan_17 Couple weeks too late, champ.
What's the point of translating the French to English when Justin is doing right after. What about the French who only speak French?! Very annoying!
And conservatives still aren’t satisfied!
TSNBobMcKenzie Can't stand Justina Trudeau
TSNBobMcKenzie That's Racist !
Close it off to the Americans also.
PierreVLeBrun As an American can I ask, why exclude Americans?
For how long?
PierreVLeBrun Americans? Why? So they can flee their infected country with no tests or plans?
PierreVLeBrun But Americans aloud in!?! This guys always a day late and a buck short!!!
Why aren't we blocking American citizens? We have so many cases that can be traced to the US.
PierreVLeBrun This is absolutely insane that Canada decided this will be a quick fix, a lock down needed to be announced today like what Italy did around this time of confirmed cases and now look where they were AFTER announcing a lock down. I feel so sorry for my fellow Canadians...
