that more than 10,000 U.S. citizens attempted non-essential border crossings.
In addition to that, more than 1,500 of the Americans Canada has turned away cited "recreation" as the reason for their visit, while more than 600 said "non-essential shopping" was what awaited them on the Canadian side of the border. Both these figures represent a continued uptick from last month, when more than 1,300 fun-seekers and more than 500 shoppers were turned away.
The current agreement has exemptions in place for the flow of trade and commerce, as well as temporary foreign workers and vital health-care workers such as nurses who live and work on opposite sides of the border. However, tourists and cross-border visits remain prohibited. "It is also important to note that each person must meet all entry requirements before being authorized to enter Canada."

They can stay home in USA until pandemic is over. I don't care if its 2022. USA is a hotbed for covid.
Don’t people understand that COVID-19 spreads exponentially ? 1 becomes 32 in 5 transmission or less ! Why are people so careless ? Really trying to get into Canada 🇨🇦 eh !!
More to this story?
They should pay attention.
Do these people not watch the news or read newspapers ...
Keep the infected out
As hard as it is, We should all stay home until this pandemic is over.
Stop!!!!!
I really feel bad for them. I’m sure all the visitors are not identical to the idiots the media spends wwwwwway too much time covering. BUT!! It all starts at the top! If the “leader” and “chief” of the USA is absolutely reckless about this situation, what choice do we have?
4UWell JustinTrudeau please keep the border closed until there is a vaccine. Don’t allow Americans to kill my mother!
borderclosure don't let them in pandemic coronavirus19
The media should be honest with Canadians. Canadians should be honest with Americans, and themselves. Show Americans the risk they'd taking by entering Canada:
Flights arriving in Vancouver! Guessing it’s essential if you travel from the USA to 🇨🇦 by plane! Does any of this make sense?
Please stay home
What is it Americans don’t understand?
US citizens think they can fool the system. They are used to do whatever they want because they think they are superior and exempt and above any rules or laws.
Probably trying to seek refuge from their volatile democratic cities where their mayors don’t care about them.
Why no coverage of the Montreal protest going on right now?
Why are they still letting them in? Border are telling Americans to “hide” their vehicles once they get to their destination in Canada😡
Keep them out. We dont need there shit up here
Keep stoking division. is such garbage.
What part of border closure do they not understand. There is no cure for stupid!
I'd be trying to escape too.
They are all being turned around right?
CBSA staff have guns. Shoot the F**kers
Love the reasoning...'they were just hoping to take a peek at Canada’s tourist attractions'Who the hell have they been talking to? (there AREN'T any attraction right now) StayHome for God's sake .Living in Canada with the US pandemic blazing away is like living above a meth lab.
Let's suppose this was the other way around. I'm sure Americans would be arresting Canadians at the border and throwing them in jail.
Keep the infections out until they take it more seriously
Foreign air arrivals into Canada are on schedule - sad how we Canadians are mostly locked down but others walk among us
The new asylum seekers😂
We need the tourism. Canada is suffering. We cannot afford more taxes. The liberals are crippling the economy. Or kids and their kids are going to be paying for this
Are they applying to be refugees?
At the Roxham, road crossing?
What ever happened to real news!
Keep USA out!
I miss my USA 🇺🇸 Nov 3 can’t come soon enough for this scamdemic to be over! Trump2020Landslide
'I wanna go to Canada 'cos there's less Covid19'....ya think? We test even LESS than you guys.🇨🇦StayHome
Fear mongering. No mask or border closure will stop it. The cases will explode when the kids go back to school then maybe the dunces will wake up that their placebos don’t work. Btw the border is open by air and I’m going on holiday!
