As U.S. members of Congress push Canada to reopen its shared border with the United States, Canadians are pushing back — both in government and on social media.

addressed to Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, 29 bipartisan members of Congress called on the Canadian government to plan a phased reopening of the Canada-U.S. border and to consider easing existing measures.

They crafted the letter following the latest joint Canada-U.S. agreement to extend the current border closure until July 21. This is the third time the agreement to maintain the border closure has been extended. "Since the beginning of this global pandemic, we have been having friendly ongoing conversations with our American partners about our shared border. Both sides agree that the current measures in place, which are set to expire on July 21st, have worked well in restricting non-essential travel while allowing essential crossings to continue unimpeded."

The United States reached a macabre milestone at the end of June when it became home to the world’s highest number of reported infections: more than 2.2 million. It also has the highest death toll in the world, with 120,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Do not open border.

Well apparently our border is not closed! All hockey games are going to be played here! Philly as of this morning already had 9 players that might be positive. Most f Canada would like our kids to go back to school so we can get back to work! Guess we need sports more.

Let's build a wall...and make them pay for it. Yeah, we'll build a wall, the finest wall... it will be very tall, and very fine, and we'll make them pay pay for the very fine wall. If there is any common sense, do not open the border. Would be a big mistake.

Trudeau never even closed it to CHINA yet people think we need to keep it closed with the states? Come one people wake up!

Open the borders, the scamdemic is over!

Don’t open the borders until they get their numbers down to below 20,000 and holding.

Open it up ,Canadian are flying down in droves to the US! And they are freaking out if they see a US licence plate in Canada! It’s easy to screen people at the border.

Stop inferring that when your audience of a few scared Canadians who hate America and their President represent 'all Canadians'. Your statement is false. The border needs to open for the economies of Canada and the U.S. to recover.

Keeping the border closed is senseless and illogical.

Open up the border stop testing and let people have their lives back. Enough is enough already, the scared can stay in. No social distancing and no fucking masks.

Canadians ? No we want the border open. Our drama teacher , criminal PM JustinTrudeau doesn’t. TrudeauworstPMever covidisbullshit

They are getting across lying about going to Alaska then vacationing with no 14 day quarantine, we already have infections because of the states. CLOSE THE BOARDER DONT LET ANYONE IN TILL THE INFECTIONS ARE GONE

Hell no

This just shows how idiotic the states are. 'We have dismal numbers, let's get other countries as sick as us.' We should be making anyone coming in from the USA wear ankle bracelet to monitor them to insure they quarantine for 2 weeks. If they don't like that, they can stay home!

MichealMartinTD .....you got the big job, make a big decision....69000+ cases yesterday in the US and daily flights from US into Ireland 🤔

What a ridiculous idea. Mexico closed part of their border. The EU doesn't want Americans there. They think we're going to open our border I have lots of family members living in the US including a child. No, the border can stay closed for quite awhile thanks.

CTV FAKE NEWS. GONNA PUSH BACK ALRIGHT.

Open the border

ElizabethMay No we don’t you lying useless water carrying bum boys !!

ithanos3 No thanks

Who ? ... who are these Canadians ? .... More CTV fake stats / studies and BS polls ... good god you SOB’s are completely ridiculous when it comes to credible media stories

Stupid photo,

Time to build the wall!!!

You mean our hide at home while I continue to defraud the CDN taxpayer PM pushes back. He is a major roadblock to the CDN economy rebounding. He can't stop the provinces from restarting their economies so he tries to hinder trade with our largest business partner. He's unfit.

The average number of cases in Canada hasn’t changed much in two weeks with the border closed. Now is not the time to drive the caseload up with crossborder travel.

When was it closed between Alaska, airports and fake refugees seems to be open.

Pleasecontinue to keep the border restrictions in place until the numbers are “ under contro

Canada can keep the border closed...America will survive

Yeah sure. 🤦🏻

We are not there yet.

I'm with the US Congress on this one. More LIES from CTV

Hell Nooooo!

Yeah no, but seriously, no.

Open it up. We need them pretty badly.

Keep the border closed! The U.S.A. Is a mess , and Trump doesn’t have a clue...

Open the border. Open the country. And tell this government to get back to work.

The ShitHoleStatesOfAmerica are not welcome North of the 49!

What Which Canadians OPEN THE US/CANADA BORDER. put that in your fake opinion polls. FakeNewsAlert

Ummmm, you do know you can fly to and from the US.... right? ... just can’t drive.

that's an old photo CTVNEWS. I might call this false reporting.

Don't do it!

I cannot believe they would put pressure on Canada when they are one of the worse in the world!!!! Shame on U.S. Congress!!!

Absolutely not, while they all die down there we can enjoy our summer

BUILD A WALL!

ElizabethMay Everyone is coming here anyway. Check Airport Arrivals. Ottawa lies, plus, all you need is an excuse, and you’re good to go. It’s a joke.

Bullshit CTV. Canada is not pushing back at anything. Under Trudeau we are the laughing stock and have nothing to push back with so stop the b.s. Canada has become a joke to the rest of the world. That is the truth.

Canada is going bankrupt fast helped along by our MSM, George Soros and the politicians in Canada who are paid off by him. We had such a beautiful country and lost it because we let corruption/evil quietly move in and take over. Not a bomb dropped.

BruceFaulkner22 Do not dare to do this. Absolutely no way.

We cannot open the border!! No way. Europe isn’t nor should we. They need to get their shit together. We don’t want another lockdown here!!

ElizabethMay Keep the swine out

No. Thank. You. Ps take back the guns these shitty ppl keep bring over from the US.

Nope, it will remain close for the foreseeable future most likely until February 2021 with a new administration

ElizabethMay

Keep. The. Border. Closed.

This seems suspicious as CTV only posts Trudeau’s agenda. Sounds more like HE wants it. Probably to let the radical left soldiers in to stir up civil unrest here.

I want to vacation in Montana pretty please

ElizabethMay Keep them out REESUS PATRIOT™💙 (ReesusP) Tweeted: Is this the America you want? I am voting Biden2020 and ending this.

Ctv is worse than CBC, their ultra propaganda agenda is more annoying than cbc. A bunch of liberal elites made canada radical islam, black fascism, gender fascism. F... ctv and its s.h. ceo

open the border

Keep strong Canada do not let us get bullied into opening the board America is not ready. Especially when they keep throwing temper tantrums. America you want the boarder open get covid under control quiet bitching about your rights wear a mask!!!!

There are many Canadian morons who don't understand that Canada's stature as a SEMI free country is due to the protection we've enjoyed from our friends to the South. We'd have been speaking Russian following the cold war were it not for them. That's why we elect commies.

Until they get their shit together....NO WAY!!! StayHomeSaveLives

No way keep them closed and build a wall make them pay for it

Keep it closed

Canada can do what’s best for Canada. I would definitely be reluctant to reopen!

Nope! Absolutely not.

Thanks for the idea for these weird suits GeorgeTakei meg_lor_tay

There are enough of them breaking the rules and lying to get they as it is . Rules need to be tighter. Here in Muskoka it’s half Americans already No Way. Keep the boarder Closed!!! 😷😷😷😷♥️♥️♥️

The numbers are high because they’ve tested 40 MILLION PEOPLE! It’s not ducking rocket science stop buying the media bs.

Please.... don’t open d border........

Which Canadian?. Open the fucking border, stop holding us hostage until a dangerous vaccine is ready. I’m not taking it.

Which Canadians. Sheeple TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustGo

US Congress is correct in asking for a plan to reopen Border, What do these Libtards want to lock us down forever.

Ohhh nonononono not until y’all start taking this virus seriously. I will be so disappointed and frankly terrified if Trudeau opens the border. That would not be a bright ide.. and I’m sure he knows it.

Hell, no! Keep that border closed!

How about no

The U.S. is now getting 70 THOUSAND new cases of Covid-19 a day! IN A DAY!!!!!!!!!!! No way in hell do we open our boarders!

Hell no! Keep it closed!

JustinTrudeau and johnpodesta Pedovores for life. WWG1WGA

Hell. No.

Ask again in January. Leave us alone.

Covidiodits american are canadians arent stupid stay home bring your numbers down

Until the US gets their house in order they are NOT allowed into our house. keeptheborderclosed

Please don't open the border. I'm Canadian living in America. I see how Americans are doing around me. I'm sheltered in place and miss my family dearly but it's not worth the risk. JustinTrudeau

They better not open the border because this will cause a huge spike in Canada. We need to get things in control here before the US is able to come in.

Until they tame their circus the border stays closed. We scaraficed and followed science instead of protesting barber shops being closed & masks. Sorry, not sorry! JustinTrudeau

our government is corrupt to the top..why won't you report on that..ohhhhhh I forgot you are part of the UNION UNIFOR CRIME SYNDICATE

Not a chance

BillBlair cafreeland JustinTrudeau I really hope our elective official will resist the pressure from some irresponsible & selfish US counterparts... The border must remain closed until American get their act together. KeepUSclosed COVID19 COVIDIDIOTS

BILL THE WALL and let USA pay for it! keeptheborderclosed

Keep it closed until at least Jan 20.

Maybe because of this...

Build a wall, I'll work for free.

'No thank you...clean up your backyard before you attempt to enter ours..sincerely Canada,' ♥️🇨🇦♥️realDonaldTrump GOP

I’m American....keep it CLOSED. Protect Canada !

Please keep it closed. 🇨🇦🤞

That’s hilarious. Canada “pushes back”...... against capitalism and forces of freedom and chooses communism instead. The tax funded media propaganda machine has done an adequate job of making Canadians incapable of possessing independent thought

Open the border to family members only with strict quarantine measures in place. I’m having my first baby soon and want my parents to be there to support me. But, right now they can’t come. Too many families have been separated for too long. 😢 JustinTrudeau fordnation

Let’s be honest here, the border closure is pure BS! Our government allows passage to meet their own agenda. How else could FP_Champagne gotten to NYC to grovel for a UN seat? How else can pro baseball players cross?

It's ok PM - the vast majority of us down here would share the same expression!

The borders are closed to you covid nuts for at least another year

US wants to reopen the border and what? Spreading the COVID19 in Canada so we can beg them to sell us the masks and Remdesivir to reboot their economies?

I understand the frustration of family and property owners not coming north as usual summers, but the out of control pandemic in the USA prohibits visiting for this summer. Trump wanted metrics, when the overall infection rate is as low as Canada’s discussion may start.

Build that wall,build that wall etc

Good!

No do not open the border to the meth lab below us 🖕🖕🖕🖕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Canada does that and we undue all the good work we've done keeping covid at bay. No F'n way. Borders should stay closed, and for a long while.

Noooo way. After everything we have had to give up to help each other in canada...and get canada safe again...no way

Canadian Media*

Trudeau said it would open July 21

murielcooperI Canada you're better than us. Save yourself and rebuff the orange orange man

Keep the borders closed!!! Trump doesn’t care about his country and we don’t want the Americans here

Keep that ish close till next spring.

90%👎

Keep it closed, please.

No country on earth would open up to American travellers. We learned the hard lesson of the importance of controlling our borders when we didn’t quarantine travellers from hotspot countries, it’s a lesson we should never forget.

F%%k the states. Keep it closed.

Canadians made great sacrifices to get to where we are. We will continue to do the right thing to keep Canadians safe and healthy. Canadians are united on this.

fakenews DefundCBC TrudeauResignNOW

that’s a crazy idea, if we open our borders our covid numbers will go up. We do not need that to happen here again!!!

Keep them closed for our safety!!!

FUCK the U.S we will open our side when we think it’s safe to do so.. we don’t want to end up like the states... fucking shit show there.. 🤡

The only word that comes to mind for Canadians with an opening of the border is “disaster”. Don’t do it! keeptheborderclosed

I wouldnt shake his hand either, lord only knows what that hand was skaking before the meeting.

No No never, not yet, nada, nien, non, negative, nie, etc. is there a 'brown or black' no

Keep it closed.

We sacrificed a great deal to flatten the curve and it makes no sense to squander what we've achieved by giving the Americans access to the country in this situation. Europe is excluding them,why should we be any different. Keep out the swamp.

Our border must remain closed for the foreseeable future. The US is a disaster. Canada shouldn’t have to be part of that. Everyone I know that winters in Florida has no plans to go. Florida can see what that does to the economy. keeptheborderclosed

Cases up. Average age of those infected 34. Hospitalizations DOWN. Deaths DOWN. Do you see a trend?

NO NO NO

Keep it closed

what is going on with JustinTrudeau being investigated by america for his many crimes.

He’ll no don’t you even think about it...we’re fine without that cluster coming up here.

Too risky to open, but at the same it kinda feels bad. So many good people down there. I've worked in the US and with Americans in Canada, they've all been super good people.

Keep the borders closed until the US gets their shit together!!!!!

Keeping the border closed to non-business travel is insurance against COVID-19. This is political for Trump as he tries to show that all is back to normal. All is not. The US is a mess thanks in large part to Trump.

JustinTrudeau please do not open.

Again, they are NOT our priority. We are never theirs so they can learn a little bit of patience and sit tight.

🇨🇦🖕🇨🇦 why the fuck would we want to open the border ? Obviously it is out of control in the USA and they wont listen to any medical advice because there fucking ego twlls them white claw will make you immune gtfo with this bullshit, bring yoy cases below 1000 a day not 100 000!

That is a HARD NO!! Who in their right mind wants to cross that border right now? For what NO WAY!

No frigging way that border is opened

Keep the boarder closed

Let's build a wall and get them to pay for it...

New phone, who dis?

Keep pushing! Keep the borders closed!

I agree...Build a wall and make Trump pay for it!!!!!

No thanks. Canada's good (locks border and throws away the key).

KEEP THAT BORDER CLOSED!!!!!!

Lol

No way do we open the border. It’s dangerous to our citizens and our economy would take another big blow. We couldn’t sustain another shutdown. Please don’t do it. Give us a chance to get back on our feet so we have a fighting chance this fall with the virus.

America choose. CASH! And politics! Canadian's choose human lives together. America's individual 1 can have some karma pie. In his own words, 'lock her up!' I agree; at the 48th parallel.

They are making the right decision. Commerce is still happening and has never stopped. Thank the trucked. Otherwise Canadians you would have nothing to buy here or online including food. Family unification and essential workers ok but no vacations right now.

No bloody way JustinTrudeau

Keep it closed. We are doing great and I would love for schools to be normal in September so my son can play his first year of senior football and rugby and my daughter can start highschool and enjoy all of it.

If they open up we will be in deep trouble. seems like they want people to come here do we can be as bad as they are and they won't look as bad.

Love this picture... fuck usa

Get rid of your orange problem

No. Not right now.

i live in a boarder town. keep it closed.

No, no, no and more no. Some of us are still trying to get back to work. We don’t need distractions and melodrama. Canada is not a photo op for a failing reelection bid.....

Hard pass.

Keep pushing!

Our economy is fu*ked, inflation is rising everyday, our GDP to DEBT ratio is 50%...and you want to stifle a multi-billion$ tourist industry....

Best. Picture. Ever.

Nope. Keep it closed. We don't need careless individuals coming here and spreading this virus further. The past 4 months would've been for nothing if that's the case.

Open er up! One way to collect herd immunity, let’s get this over with if we sit here and wait for a vaccine we will be old and wrinkly by times it’s made and tested safe for use

It's not a 'shared' border. We have our side and they have their 'infected' side. Let them have their side all to themselves

What does that picture have to do with the border?

The United States is faring much worse than Canada. Opening the borders would be the equivalent to happily welcoming COVID-19 with cuddly arms, and completely upend everything we had done to flatten the curve up to this point. We cannot let that happen. keeptheborderclosed

Don’t open it Justin

Keep The Borders Closed. No More Americans Allowed To Cross Saying They Are Traveling To Alaska. KeepBorderClosed

Oh hell no do not open the boarder

Absolutely not! Until the states can get this covid under control and a more stable president is in charge no way!

Qs for cafreeland JustinTrudeau : Would reopening still be contingent on self-quarantine? What about those who just come over for a few days? What health guidelines could be imposed for visitors to help protect Canadians since COVID19 curve is not yet crushed in USA? cdnpoli

Red rover red rover take Trudeau over the boarder!! Let his ass get sick! Sorry Americans we dont want to get sick! Please stay over there!

No!

I hope Canada stands their ground - they do not need arrogant undisciplined Americans going to the USA & contaminating their country. Canada has done a good job & they are opening up their country but not to Americans that say fu-k you when asked to wear a mask & keep a distance.

The border will not open until there is a vaccine. The US passport is worthless. No country on the planet will allow it anymore. This is the lowest the US has sank since the confederacy.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many Canadians agree under a CTV tweet 😆 love to see it

Keep it closed! So many Canadians have followed all the governments directions and requests to stay home etc. And it’s working! Keep American politics out of Canada!

Not with America dying at the hands of corrupt trump

Keep it closed.

The US needs to reduce it's infection rate to below or equal to ours before any talk of opening the border!

Opening up the border to the US would be like having sex with someone that has a mild case of Syphilis

keep them out.. we do not need these animals here

“We understand the importance of prioritizing the safety of our communities”. Uh, hmmm .... I don’t think so.

No Nope Na ah Forget it Never When pigs fly Not even when pigs fly ......sorry not sorry NO

Time to build a wall and let trump pay for it

🇨🇦 WILL NOT open the border to the MOST INFECTED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA bc they're NOT planking the curve & hundreds of thousands of people are dead & millions are infected! 🇺🇸 No no no

No no no please don’t open the border. America is a walking time bomb.

He’s thinking, “where has that hand been?”

Let’s just keep it closed. We as Canadians have flattened the curve and the U.S haven’t even tried ( even tho they say they tried ). So let’s keep it closed.

Stand-your-ground Canada. Liberals are the party of Jean Chrétien. We told them to f*** off when it came to Iraq an now we're going to tell you to f*** off now when it comes to our border, so f*** off.

Call us when you learn to drink water. ahhellno no trump COVIDIDIOTS

🚫🚫🚫 No. (well, maybe NY state residents only as Cuomo has done an excellent job there)

Is there any other border besides a shared one ?

This might be the single issue that unites all Canadians.

Pressure is not what is needed. Control your infection rates, lift the sanctions, and then we should talk.

This is like Charlie sheen asking to join the orgy. Umm, no thanks bro

Sorry, we don't need that kind of disease here. They can keep it. We're struggling with enough problems as it is.

If you had to choose between...

Nope.

Trump doesn’t care about his own people, why would he care about ours.

The USA 🇺🇸 Congress has absolutely NO power or say in how we conduct ourselves or the laws we enact. Keep border closed until Summer 2021. Keep COVID19 south of the border. Doug Ford is strong enough 2 make sure it stays closed.

Nuff said

They need us to keep many of their towns alive. Same thing happened during the 2008 financial crisis. They needed Cdns to keep the towns alive. Remember that when they next play hardball. They NEED us.

Don't let us in till we get it fixed.

I think he knows that he may have great numbers. They will disappear if the border opens too soon.

Keep it closed

For those of us who own property in Canada, a path forward would be appreciated. Border testing an option.

Hey, We don’t know you, and this is crazy... Get a new administration, and call us maybe? 🇨🇦

Don't do it. Secure the border. The US does not have this under control.

Nope. Not a chance until they get a leader that actually will take the Coronavirus seriously and show that they can lower the numbers like us in Canada have done.

What borders on stupidity...Mexico and Canada...

fuckthat

No. Not until two things happen... 1/ You get your COVID problem under control. It’s not even close to being contained. 2/ Maybe after November, with a new presidential administration. SorryNotSorry

Good!

Stay away! We are doing very well without your company. Actually a wall along the 49th would be great. Congress needs to focus on more important issues. Stay safe and wear a mask ❤🇨🇦

JustinTrudeau Don't you dare!

Keep 🇨🇦🇺🇲 land border crossings closed except for essential commercial goods, work related emergency (first responders & medical staff) workers and family reunification. Other than that, sorry but not sorry. Thankfully got out of FLA just in time in mid-March. NotGoingBack

All the hunters that come here from the US will be really mad.

Not until they get their shit together..

Absolutely! Build the damn wall!

CPC_HQ AndrewScheer: Open it up! Weak Trudeau! Scared of Fake Corona! Canadians: 'Thank goodness we didn't vote in Scheer'

My parents are skipping Florida this winter. So keep border closed

I love that picture 🤣🤣

We just cannot take this risk.

I think most Canadians would agree to make an exception for Point Roberts, look it up on a map and you’ll see why

NO FRICKEN WAY

Trudeau....... what a loser

Absolutely do not reopen. And I know snowbirds skipping FL this winter.

Keep it closed

Fuck that noise. Last thing we need up here is that bunch

So let me get this straight, trump CLOSES his borders to China (with less cases than U.S. has now) yet he wants Canada to open our borders to him with rampant, ever increasing, daily world wide record setting cases of covid? Hypocrisy!

Nope no thanks.

Keep it closed as long as trump is the prez

Lol all these people saying to open. The US can’t even keep things under control. We cannot act like and be entitled as a leader if we are a third rate country.

Keep it close till both the viruses are gone....

Fuck no ! Keep that border closed !!!

Keep it locked up tight!!!

Ummm, after the US election in November. Maybe. Wish we had an election coming up. I'd vote for anyone who has the cahonies to stand up to U.S. bullying!

I am with you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Canada supports you and your beautiful mother. Sleep well my friend.🍁.

The US needs to get their act together. Until then keep our borders closed!!

USMCA CHAPTER 27 USMCAProsecuteTrudeau Educate yourself on this United States, Mexico and Canada agreement re: TrudeauCorruption TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauCrimeFamily CTVdavidspence

Hey CTV how about telling the truth for the sheep. Tell them all the numbers. Tell them how our numbers are exaggerated just like the US. Tell them our numbers mostly come from LTC facilities or those with underlying conditions. Just tell them 99.96% survival. Tell the truth

Just under 72,000 new cases today, 61,000 yesterday and 62,000 on Wed. Almost 200,000 in 3 days. And you want toncome up here, I don't think so.

BigG31140300 I wouldn't mind heading to myrtle beach this summer. Open this thing up!

BigG31140300 Open the border!

No way

Open the border! Reopen everything!

We are still in phase 2 of opening up our province of Ontario. We are not even sure if our kids will be going to school in the fall, and they want us to open up our border to the epicenter of covid-19? Are people nuts? Turn that scenario around see what would happen.

BigG31140300 Pedo sockboy must have them on too tight

Keep it closed 🇨🇦

Which Canadians? Specifically?

Impeach again (successfully this time) and we’ll talk...

Keep that sucker closed!

MumbosDebra

to many sick americans comin into our country Canada hell no

It’s their constitutional right to not wear masks. This is the logical consequence.

The American law will swarm the border and arrest him. He’s afraid 😱

The snowflake prince wants to keep the border closed, so Canadians will not wake up abs ask questions about the Scamdemic.

Open up

Nope. Nowhere near ready for that. Forget it. Stay strong on this one JustinTrudeau

No, absolutely do not open the Border to the US, no matter how long it takes for them to get their act together and reduce the number of COVID-19 infections and Desths in that Country!!

Get your country under control covidiodit 's... your numbers are just way too high... take it more seriously

Aluminum and steal tariff threats are not enough for them? Now they just want to destroy the progress we made and kill us!

If I was the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, I tell Trump to go to hell, with covid 19 out there that old man Trump want to open the border.. don't he understands or is he crazy, that people are dying of this disease... from Canada!

Which Canadians?

Keep the borders closed!

Keep pushing back do not open the borders period until they get their shit together. 2021?

NO!! Canada is sane north!! DumbDonald literally destroyed the great nation. Let’s keep COVID guarded at the border until TrumpVirus is gone.

Keep it closed until thier cases of COVID-19 are comparable to ours. The 71,000+ new cases today in the US is more than half of ALL our cases since Jan.

We know how to sacrifice and would like to take all precautions to avoid another one. Impressed with United Canada to say no the United States of America.

Nothing to see here! Stay home and keep the borders closed! We will let you know when we are ready!

NO!!!

Keep it closed

Why does the 🇺🇸 want it opened so badly?

No thanks- keep that border shut for another 6 months or until they are in phase 3- a year

Don’t open the border plz

Not a chance til you get a new president and gop with some backbone. We’re building a wall

Keep the border closed! It’s a complete disaster down there, and doesn’t appear that it’ll get better any time soon.

Keep the border closed. U.S.A. is in shambles rn! leadershipvacuum

DONT OPEN THE BORDERS. DUMPTER WANTS TO KILL US ALL. Prime minister will not fall FOR threats. Canada can live without that traitor. We love our country.

Keep it closed.

Well this is a no brainer! Nope!

Keep it closed🇨🇦

Don't let it happen, we will have 300 Mil Americans moving to Canada to be in a safer place

Being from a border town and a tourist destination the USA 'president' should take care of his dumpster fire of a country before spreading covid to countries who took the proper steps to control the spread. DumpTrump2020

Sorry USA! NO. Get your shit under control and then will reconsider

KEEP IT CLOSED!

Nah ... The media is not biased. 🙄 Plenty of pictures you could've used, but you choose that one. You're not even pretending anymore, are you!

Keep the borders closed... we’re good love 🇨🇦

Canadians who have been lied to about the numbers, and given no interpretation of what they actually mean, because of a media fueled fear mongering agenda.

Keep pushing back, no Covid19 from careless American people including their chimp

Fuck that.

Build a wall

No thanks and I’m not planning to ever go back there

No thanks, we’re good eh!

Reopening our shared border with the states would be a huge mistake. HUGE

Orange Man Bad, Dont Believe The WE Corruption, Drink the Kool Aid

Don’t you DARE

The American government should be investigating CanadianPM and its ties to China ?

Don’t opened borders.

Noooooo!

Canadians have sacrificed a lot to get the virus under control. Keep it closed.

No we Canadians want the borders kept closed for a year or more.

That's a HARD NO!

Absolute not. Canadian are intelligent and compassionate people. The world is coping with a pandemic. It's not only about economics. It's about Saving lives.

Come back in 2021.. CLOSED BORDERS

Less money or avoid potentially dropping dead after catching covid. HM, difficult decision. Money only has value because there are people to value it. Decreased population also means less money. Covid can cause blood clots everyone on your body.

Nooooooooooo.

No thanks, we are good. Take care and get better first America.

We should send fully armed army to the USA border. Send usa people to jail if they try to cross the border.

Keep it closed

Firm No.

BS

I love shopping at Tj’s, Trader Joes and Galleria Walden but NO! Keep it closed.

USA 3 million covid cases and 130,000 dead Americans. Keep the border closed. The covid 2nd wave will come in the fall as weather cools and people neglect distancing and wearing a mask.

Stay strong JustinTrudeau , don’t give in. Keep our borders closed and protect Canadians

BTW, EXCELLENT choice of picture to use with the story. Kudos to whomever's idea it was

Do. Not. Falter. JustinTrudeau CanadianPM

Dont open the border until they get there crap together

stay home we don't need you here.

Holy crap America. No, no and no. Get your bloody act together already!!!

Do NOT open that border.

Keep borders closed

Absolutely not!!! Keep it closed. Canada will be safer.

No one welcomes the plague with open arms.

Keep it closed 🇨🇦😷❤️👏

DO NOT OPEN THAT BORDER!!!!

It wasn't that long ago that Trump threatened to post soldiers along the border to keep Canadians out and now he wants us back.

Until they get a lid on COVID 19, keep the buggers out! 😷

Keep those borders close until Americans straighten out their act!!

Until America gets their numbers on a serious decline, the border must stay closed.

Oh HELL no. Pardon my french but that border stays shut until you get your shit together and your Covid numbers down. We don't want to surf the waves of pandemic your anti-mask cro-MAGAnons are bent on riding.

We need to open our Border, I am in 100% agreement with US lawmakers.

We sacrificed SO much and worked so hard to get where we are today with phase 3 soon in toronto it seems. Opening the border would reverse everything we've worked for and result in lockdowns again. No way !!!!

Please don’t. I’m American - while I am sad and missing my friends and family tons - we will lose all the progress we’ve made to keep levels low.

Screw that!!

Until the U.S. gets their act together and the daily cases drop dramatically, KEEP THE BORDER CLOSED. Be like the European union, ban any movement between countries until it is safe.

Please keep it closed

Please stay closed until next year. Canadians care about their people where Trump doesn’t care about his!

Keep the border closed, enforce quarantines. Canadians don’t want more suffering and death, and we don’t want to reverse our progress because the US has reached « macabre » milestones of cases, rampant spread and record deaths. Lives are at stake - please keep the border closed.

Closed please

JustinTrudeau please keep the borders closed until this is under control all over the world keeptheborderclosed

Not a chance. Get their act together first.

Stay strong Canada. As a Canadian born American citizen I say keep it closed until this circus side show comes to an end in January.

Please don’t open the flood gates. 💦😷

Don’t open boarders till US gets covid under control!

No opening of US border!!!! keepCanadianborderclosed

CTVAtlantic KEEP IT CLOSED DO NOT KNEEL TO THE USA

What’s the problem? trump has openly said he hates Trudeau. Do not open the border!!!!

So get your act together. Show some leadership and stop trying to be the CoVid centre of the world, then we will talk about opening the border. TrumpVirus TrumpVirusCatastrophe TrumpFailedAmerica

Nooooo 🙄 keep the borders closed 🙏

Nope

NO

Good god open nothing !! The virus is running wild down there and is only going to get much worse .... Too many idiots not wearing masks jeopardizing everyone .

Kiss our Lilly White asses with farmer tanned arms

That's right, keep 🇨🇦 safe.

I'll use Trump's words to immigrants. WERE FULL. Fuck off

NO, NO, NO. Keep borders closed. Keep the infected out. Keep 'mericans out. They think the virus safety measures don't apply to them and they are happy to share it with you.

KEEP IT CLOSED TRUMP IS AN IDIOT LOSER

No

No fucking way

If the Americans were Chinese, you would all be 'racist' for denying them entry. Remember January?

We have done such an excellent job in Canada to keep Covid numbers done. If we open the border all our hard work will be for nothing.

Wondering what Congress would do if we would have THEIR infection numbers The border would be straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale!

Just checked the calendar, thinking November 4th would be a good day to reconsider opening the border... that would be the day after the presidential election.

HAHA no

Please keep it closed!!!! As a Country we have all done what needs to be done to get our numbers down. Don’t let the realDonaldTrump, the a bully-in-chief bully us. We are stronger than that.

NO.

'Better safe than sorry'. Canada is comparatively, a much smaller country (pop)& will be overwhelmed. It's an alarming situation in US. COVID19

Nooooooooo!!!!!

NOPE.. the border must remain closed.

‘Mercia, don’t call us. We’ll call you.

Keep it closed but open it solely to transport goods between both countries. When they have their Covid situation under control, then Canada can think about it.

Dear US neighbours; Canadian boarder is fully closed and you are not welcome for time been! unless you guys get out of the chaos and stop arguing how to deal with COVID and get the curve flat! So until then enjoy your summer away from Canadian.

Absolutely F$&+ not!!! keeptheborderclose

No, no and no...

What borders stupidity....Canada and Mexico!!!!!! 😂

Border stays closed until sanity has returned to America or we have a vaccine. Whichever comes first.

Nope!

Yup open the borders for the Bully in South

That photo. Thanks for reminding your readers of the arrogant twit representing Canadians.

Keep it closed!

No way, they need to get the virus under control before the border reopens.

Americans are being stooooopid! I am American and shocked how many are thumbing their nose at the virus. At the same time American tourist dollars are huge for Canada. Whistler and other resorts. Cruising to Alaska, etc. This border is no where close to being safe to open.

We are ready, are you ready?

No no no. We don’t want any Americans coming to Canada right now. Probably another month or more. Tell USA congress the people have spoken.

Keep it closed for at least another 12 months.

Please Nooooooo!!!!

Nope. Keep it closed.

No.

NO! Borders can stay closed until they get rid of Covid. We are not going to die because they won’t wear masks!

HEEELLLLL NOOOO

Noooooooo thank you. JustinTrudeau you’ve done a great job leading us through this. Don’t let them bully you into it.

Dear Neighbour; We are nice, not stupid. Sincerely; 🇨🇦 Canada.

Should be an easy decision looking at this map showing hot spots. Note: Map from Johns Hopkins University. A comparison of current COVID-19 cases between the USA and Canada.

H...E...double Hockey Sticks No!

why should Canada play into the USA stupidity !!

No! Keep our border closed. Unified Canada strong.

If there’s just ONE time that JT needs to be tough and show some balls it’s now. He absolutely needs to keep the borders closed.

Our PM will stand strong against bully Trump! They have a lot of nerve asking other countries to open up to them when there country is in the worst shape its EVER been in since this pandemic started! We have a trade agreement, for goods and services, not lives lost!!!

Yes. The pandemic is raging south of us.

No way USA !!!!!

Unfortunately were just getting a point with the virus where it's starting to feel safer.and your cases are soaring and your leader is pretending that it doesn't exist.listen to your experts

Fuck that clown. Keep it closed

Keep it closed

No no no if you do you will betraying all the front line workers. We have enough Karen’s

Keep the borders closed keep the virus contain to America we don't need it here we don't want to start at square one again

Forget about it

NO!

Keep it closed until January when the new president is inaugurated.

What Canadians Only fascist communist sheep want masks, shutdowns and the US border closed. Don't FN speak for me

CTVAtlantic Don’t let them in. It is too dangerous.

Fuck that!!

You show a pic of sock boy, the antithesis of Canadian? The corrupt cowardofthecottage TrudeauCorruption CTV bullshit!

Ahhhhhh...No Thanks!

CTVAtlantic Simple ... KEEP THE BORDER CLOSED! They haven’t got a handle on it nor do they appear to be trying very hard. Don’t let all of our hard work go down the drain to appease Trump and his followers!

Sorry but ... Was it the off part they didn’t understand?

Sorry America realDonaldTrump POTUS WhiteHouse Canada is closed until further notice. Our country takes care of their pple first! canada

Cool, any updates on the WEscam ?

It's Canada's loss. Trudeau and the deep state are tanking the Canadian economy as much ans as fast as they can. We need Derek Sloan to replace Trudeau ASAP.

needlenymph

No need to open border to non essential travel. If the roles were reversed does anyone think that US would be quick to open their borders to us?

Keep it shut

DO NOT REOPEN BORDER !!

Screw Trump keep his virus south border

First they want to tariff our exports then they want us to let them in and spread the virus. This has to be tRump logic. Keep it closed.

Dear United States: We Canadians will consider opening the border when your President is not a covid disbelieving, science trashing, mask bashing, misogynistic narcissist. Sooooooo Tuesday, November 3 2020 it is. Biden2020

Good! Keep it closed they are a covid dumpster fire & we have spent a ton of money to keep the numbers low here. Opening the border now will undermine all the efforts.

Don’t open our borders please!

Canada should build a wall in the south border and realDonaldTrump should pay for it. The universe is amazing.

No F’ing way!!!

Keep the border closed!

DON’T DO IT! ❌❌❌

Keep the border closed until the US gets their covid19 well under control

Don't do it!

Oh fuck no. That border is going to stay closed.

U.S. Congress don’t have a collective brain among them, keep your U.S. Virus over there you own it now

Nope. America is a virus shit show with no leadership.

Well at least we’re all pretty united on this. 🇨🇦❤️

Let’s just be long distance friends a little longer.

Not a god damn chance!!!

Are they crazy!!!!

Open the border

Keeeeeeeep pushin’

NO WAY! Keep our boards CLOSED Prime Minister Trudeau to ALL Americans JustinTrudeau until the Washington Village Idiot realDonaldTrump in in Jail November 3rd

Don’t even think about it

Not a chance

No way. We don't run into record deficits and stuck at home for months then letting the Americans ruined it. Keep the border closed until they get their shit together.

No way.. They made their bed, they can lay in it. Keep your disfunction far away!

US Congress? C'mon. A few northern states are asking.

They wouldn’t talk to us if we were in their position! Borders has to be closed!

Keep the borders closed.

PLEASE - Don't open the borders to U.S.A., the most COVID -19 infected country until they flatten the curve. SHOW DT that the Canadian government CARES about its citizens.

Our economy suffered during SARS because the US didn’t want us spreading OUR infections to them.

NO way should the border reopen. The US would not open their border if the roles were reversed. We are closed

No, dont open, we're gonna get the dosze.

Yeah, no.

Keep the Border closed

I sure as hell don't want the border to reopen right now but in reality all the states needs to say when canada wants to extend the border closer is 'no we want it open' it's that simple. We'll be screwed and there won't be anything we can do.

Yeah.... and that goes for us French Canadians too...now go away or we'll taunt you some more.

No!!!!😷

Please DO NOT open the border

first we can open borders only for workers and investition.. government cotract.. to passborder.. train.. rails transport etc..

Don’t call us, we’ll call you! Border stays closed until you get your act together

Please keep it closed. They are out of control

thats a hard NO!!!

Open the border? What for? Is it because Trump has killed his own people, soon he’s going to put your children at risk, and now he’s after Canadians? America, please wake up! Lock Trump up!!

Nope, Nada, NO WAY HOSEE! Stay closed. We are doing fine here. Don’t need more cases in Canada where we have been trying to be vigilant

No thanks.

13%

We also should keep our airspace borders closed as well

I'm all for opening up the border once America has as few cases as Canada. So that would be mid 2021.

Don’t open our border. Keep us safe.

It’s a hard pass America!! Get your shit together or it will never open!

When you flatten the curve come back and ask again. We have done our part now it’s your turn.

Agreed USA get your shit together then we will talk !!!

Yeah, that's a hard no.

Forget it ! Keep them closed. When Trump finally comes to his senses, and realizes they have a big problem, they may finally try to fix it.

There are two important reasons why the border should remain closed for several more months: (a) the runaway pandemic in the US along with the US government's disastrous response to handling it; (b) the US November election is likely to go sour, thanks to the incipient dictator.

Oh hell no! Keep the border closed!

Like the sign says . . . . .

Keep it closed!!

However he has opened it up to family members.,what’s the difference...they are all coming in from the US...and I have a daughter who lives on the US...stay there for awhile..and we know many will not self quarantine if they are coming across for a visit..

DO NOT OPEN THE BORDER !!!!

But liberals don't want borders. Thy must be overwhelmed with conflict over this. Hopefully they is enough social distancing at the safe spaces for them.

'Caadians'

Thanks but no thanks. Keep the border closed you showed us with 3 m how Important we are to you.

Stand strong Justin. Our friends and neighbours need to get a handle on their covid-19 pandemic. It appears a number of states have tossed the pandemic book out the window and it is a free for all. It is their constitutional rights you know. Gov't cannot tell them what to do.

No sorry, I love my American friends but please stay home. We got a better chance of surviving.

Get your crap together And we will welcome you with open arms

You can still fly to the USA from Canada and back. Borders only closed for auto, rail and boat.

Everyone is afaraid of dying from a disease that needs a test to see if you even have it, while no one is living. Our numbers are artificially low, don’t fool yourself. Americans are dying ata higher rate, we because they are frisking overweight and lead unhealthy lives. Open it

Is there a key we could throw away?

Keep it closed

y'all come back another time you here...like after November 3

No no not yet

Please keep the border closed. Canada must protect its citizens. Trump is destroying USA and we cannot go down with them. Canadians support USA, but we cannot destroy all the hard work that Canadians have done to get the virus under control. USA must do the same. FIX IT.

Don't call us, we'll call you.

Don’t do it !

Don’t do it!

CTVAtlantic Dont unlock 'the wall' JustinTrudeau ! Keep Canada safe!!!

CTVAtlantic Nooo

Please keep the borders closed.

Canada will NOT open its borders anytime soon!!! sorry US!!

CTVAtlantic Sorry, but no way! Keep the border closed.

Is US Congress really pressuring with that letter? Or just stating obvious facts and wanting to discuss the situation and what can be done. I'm for keeping the border closed but the extreme political over-reactions by the media which then drives the public reaction is getting old

Keep the border closed. Should not even be a consideration at this time.

Meh MAGA2020 doesn’t need anyone else, they always say they can go it alone. Our border stays closed.

Ummm nope

They better keep it closed!!!

Not with the shit show going on down there. We need to build a wall.

12%

No way jose

Keep it closed

We are finally able to travel internationally as countries loosen restrictions on their borders to other countries. That ends if we open the Can/US border.

Nope..No.. NOOOO

Many Canadians have assets (boats, properties, etc) just across the border in the US. Homes are being broken into, damage is going unchecked. Let’s not forget families that have been separated for 4+ months now. There needs to be some kind of phased reopening.

ready... NYSE what a photo.. what a news...

Keep it closed!

Ha Ha Ha. Not a chance!!!!!! Have Trump build a wall - he can pay for it

SORRY USA We're CLOSED TO YOU ... Get your act together then we'll talk

Absolutely not! BUILD THAT WALL, BULID THAT WALL and make trump pay for it. MAGADumpTrump

Keep the boarder closed.

Screw The Politeness: Canadians Respond To U.S. Calls To Reopen Border“This is like inviting zombies into your house.” That's a big HELL NO! Sincerely, Canada 'based on objective metrics and accounting,' The same metrics which declared in 2019 that the United States is the best country in the world in fighting a pandemic? 😖 I now believe the'The Walking dead' show would indeed take place solely in the US if it were to happen for real 🧟

Economy adds 953,000 jobs in June, unemployment rate fallsStatistics Canada says the economy added nearly one million jobs in June as businesses forced closed by the pandemic began to reopen. No it didn't. Just moving numbers around on paper doesn't create something from nothing. Nothing was added. Don't believe this fake news. Low income jobs mom and pop are gone stay home stay safe folks ;) They are not full time, permanent positions. No adult with a family wants to take on a part time, minimum wage job. I am seeing jobs here in Alberta asking for 10 years experience in specific certification and offering $2 above min wage.
