B.C. Premier John Horgan told reporters on Monday that Trudeau is seeking to convene the premiers for a meeting on Thursday to discuss border issues. While the Ontario government of Doug Ford has been running television ads slamming the Trudeau government for allowing too much international travel, other premiers including Saskatchewan’s Scott Moe are calling for a move towards reopening.
Business organizations — particularly the lobby associations for the tourism, hotel, transportation and other related industries — have been especially vocal in demanding more clarity on when border measures will be relaxed, given the fast-rising vaccination numbers and steeply falling case counts. Ontario, for example, announced 297 new cases on Tuesday, its lowest daily case count since Sept. 17, 2020.
“We should have had a plan long before now,” Beatty said. “People should have known what the plan was, and should have been able to make their own arrangements to ensure that if they were looking at a vacation, or if they were looking at visiting family, or if it was a business looking at sending sales people across the border, that they would know what the criteria were.”
“It’s really disappointing that only now are there working groups thinking about this,” he said. “We knew this day was going to come.”
Open the border now!!
After 15 months(!) they're putting a 'plan' in place!! Last minute scramble shows how clueless & disappointing this gov't is. I'm sure the phased approach will last til ' '22😡Get rid of the useless hotel quarantine & 14 days at home nonsense & open the damn border already
And they better be vaxxed and circumcised!! With proof, by bringing the little rubber thingy at the end there in a little plastic bag!!
cant do a thing with borders until we figure out quarantine hotels and pre entry covid test followed by quarantine and two more. have to eliminate or phaze out that stuff first before you can drive over a border

Canada is slowing down on first doses, but that could be a good thing - Macleans.caThe plain truth is we're running out of arms that haven't already had needles jabbed into them, and Round 2 is full swing We all know how to get to the point of herd immunity and putting needles into arms. You just make it so that employers say it is mandatory. Protect all staff and customers, and then set in place a system to only allow people in who can prove they have been poked. It’s not a good thing. We have reach vaccinate hesitancy unfortunately. Too many people’s not understanding the importance to get vaccinated. Let the anti-vaxxers go………less crazy out there is a good thing.

Enjoy these two years Democrats. Quotes like this will return Trump or like minded republicans to office.
