To my American friends ... we would let you back up but .....

I wanna include my American family in my bubble 😬

The rest of the world is looking at the United States with a mix of horror and pity. It’s tough, but the border must remain closed.

I keep seeing American licence plates up here. NY, California, Maryland. Everyday. Wondering why, maybe essential I guess.

If they ever reopen it, it will probably need to be on a state by state basis. New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey, have flattened their curves dramatically. Meanwhile over 9,000 new cases in Florida, 6,000 in Texas.

Keep the border closed

They aren't closed. Was in Burnaby at a grocery store on fFriday. Ran into a lady and child who had a cool face masks. Asked where they got em so i could get one for my 5 year old. She replied 'We're from the states a friend gave it to me'. Borders sure are closed sarcasm

Ughhhhh I just want to see my family! Wear masks people, social distance and wash your damn hands!

It’s actually an extra 31 days. math

This is a good thing. We may love them coming here and spending money at our hotels, restaurants etc, but with Coronavirus running rampant in so many areas, opening our doors to them is just too risky.

Build that wall. We don’t want trump here

Keep borders closed at the very least until the end of 2020.

Sad bit best thing to do

Why?

Lame.

It’s stupid, I plan on travelling to the United States in a few weeks and CanadianPM JustinTrudeau and DeputyPM_Canada cafreeland can stick their quarantine up their as*es, unless you put a cop at my door for 14 days I’m doing my own thing! Cue the triggered snowflakes....

Ridiculous, Canadians are stupid for thinking Americans wanna rush here. Only a hypocritical liberal will applaud this. Anyone who thinks the border staying closed will do anything should go look in the mirror to see the definition of brain dead.

As we should.

rachaiello 100% support keeping the border closed to tourism, but what about all the Canadians currently seperated from their loved ones due to the narrow definition of “immediate family” in the travel exemption?LoveIsNotTourism FamilyIsEssential

Common sense prevails. The USA is a cesspool of COVID-19.

30 weeks would be better

Let’s just keep it closed

Then keep them closed! We know Americans are coming in, possibly using the 'going to Alaska' lie. Tell them to fly to Alaska or take the ferry.

PureCountry94 Should remain closed for the rest of the year.

Just sit back and enjoy the shit show! All this over a Flu! Plandemic 2020 Show..

And shut down that Alaska loophole!

How about 30 months? They obviously don't have anything going right down there

Still not long enough! We are under control and they are out of control. It can all change in a flash if we aren’t diligent. keeptheborderclosed

👍🏼

Unbelievable short sighted that the border will continued to be closed for land owners on either side of the border. Phased in opening ASAP... Mortality rate is very low. Can’t hide forever... Covid turned into political theatre months ago in America. It’s an Election year!

Please do not open the Canada/USA borders, but I think our health officials and administrators are intelligent enough to see what is happening over there, and will keep Us safe👌🇨🇦😷

Hmmm....Illinois plates in Kamloops yesterday🤔

Totally agree! Canada is much further ahead of the US in controlling the pandemic...let's keep it that way. Hopefully they will keep our borders closed for as long as it takes! Get ur 💩together America!!

Clearly the smartest play and the safest decision made by our leaders.

Smart move on 🇨🇦 part, keep it closed until the 🇺🇸 gets it 💩together

I believe we should go 2 months at a time. There’s no way the dumb dumbs from the South, will be ok enough to open the borders in August

So anyone thinking about Canadian snowbirds if will be able to go to Florida, Texas or Arizona? What about those who spend winter there & may now be in Canada - generally older and more susceptible to flu/covid? What does that mean for health care planning this winter? DFisman

The borders between Canada and the U.S. need to be closed indefinitely for now. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Yankee stay home! 😂

Good keep it closed till after Christmas. I feel bad for those who can't see loved ones! Canada is in good shape lets keep it that way!

PLEASE keep them closed until the US gets it’s virus spread under control
