, in response to claims of a loophole allowing some Americans to skirt the rules and vacation in Canada.
The region most likely to report some level of hardship due to the closure was Quebec, where just under 75 per cent of respondents told Nanos that they had not been adversely affected by the closure and more than eight per cent said it had caused them or their families major hardship. Eighty per cent of surveyed Ontarians and 83 per cent of surveyed Atlantic Canadians said the closed border had not posed any hardship for them or their families.
Women were also more likely to report no hardship brought on by the border closure, at 83 per cent to 74 per cent for men.Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,094 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between July 26 and July 30, 2020, as part of an omnibus survey. Participants were randomly recruited by telephone using live agents and administered a survey online.
The sample included both land and cell lines across Canada. The results were statistically checked and weighted by age and gender using the latest census information and the sample is geographically stratified to be representative of Canada.The margin of error for this survey is plus or minus three percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Lmao , where the fk they get those s
Yeah right. I live in a border city! No hard times in this place. I haven't even heard of anyone complaining in my area. We love it. Keep that shit closed forever! Sorry. I know duel citizen's lives matter also.
It's going to be harder on 100% of Canadian's if they open it ffs
Trust me you are better off without us. Total shitshow down here.
Keep it closed till we know it is safe. We are going to have a lot more then that if you open it and more Canadians die.
CTVToronto This is not just with America. Let’s be clear there are probably far more people with family world wide that are impacted not just the US. We can’t can’t see our families overseas. This should not be about America and their sense of entitlement!
CTVToronto notthiscanadian keeptheborderclosed
I'm not sure many of today's generation realize the difference between inconvenience and hardship. Open that border prematurely and a lot of us may find out!
CTVToronto Too bad. None of us asked for this. Right now it’s about protection
Actually it's far less than that. Do your homework. Build that Wall.
CTVToronto “About 1 in 5 Canadians” is not even a number.
Clearly from most replies to this news report, this report is not news worthy ☹️
Click bait. Shame on you for not using the 5% as was actually reported in the poll
No I don’t believe it. Canada’s responsibility to keep us safe far exceeds whatever hardship these folks believe they have.
You mean all those people who demand carbon taxes for the rest of us can no longer go to the US to buy tax free food and non regulated poultry and dairy, I feel so sorry for the poor hypocrites cdnpoli
One in five is a bit ridiculous if u ask me. Who are u surveying only Ontario
Too bad it stays closed we don’t need any more covid here than what we have. Quite trying to stir up crap.
Too fkin bad.
Better then infecting 1 in 5 Canadians.
I don't understand why there was a family camping at GrundyLake provincialpark with Viginia plates on their car? Explain that? BillBlair
Complete and utter bull shit!
Perhaps because 1 in 5 Canadians live lives close enough to the border to cross it for gas and groceries once a week? 🙄
Should have called me!!! Its not for vacation ! Or frickin shopping!! Someday some of you may understand. Hope so.
Yet in other polls the vast majority of CDN.’s want the border remain ‘closed’. They know what would happen if the dangerous growth of COVID-19 in the US, were allowed to enter Canada. Awaiting a Pres. Biden in Jan. 2021 to quickly react to stop this viral threat.
Pick a side and stay there until the pandemic is over. Keep the border closed & non-essential travellers can stay the blazes home.
Bullllllshittttt.
what hardship travel in CANADA shopping in CANADA if YOU feel hardship than MOVE to U.S. don't forget change your citizenship too
Don't care...people are dying Suck it up buttercup
Nanos is such a bullshit pile! Never accurate! Ever! And yet, the media keeps quoting it!
So that means 4 in 5 think it's just fine
Define “hardship”
No Canadians are thankful that border is closed and want it to remained that way until COVID is under control.
90% of my work in USA. This has put a 25% cut in wages for me.
CTVToronto Hardship was fighting in WW1 or WW2 when you were risking your life every minute of the day & night while missing your family for 5+ years. No internet, no skype. Give me a break & suck it up!
Hardships?!?! Lol No. Apparently murderers from Texas can cross no problem, so what are Canadians so hard done by?!?!
Poor canaduhians
They should allow all partners and couples and adult children into Canada to reunite. A marriage certificate does not make you covid proof... make exemptions for this. Show some humanity. You’re quick to allow sports people in when the moneys good🧐
No f'in way. Who makes up this stuff? Keep it closed forever. No need to go to the states....jeez
Boo hoo get over it. This will be over if everyone works together. But if air heads act out like the states then this will go on forever.
Open it then.
People are dying kim
Fear fear so many brainwahsed sheeps here in Canada😄😄😄😄😄
Yeah fuck that keep those filthy redneck outta here
Seriously? Ops...it is 'Nanos' survey, right ?
Opening the border would cause way more hardship
There is a world pandemic, stay the F*** home! These are dumb people that just don't get it. Please go to the US and never come back.
Selfishness is all it is for Canadians wanting the border open. Americans have not taken the pandemic seriously enough to warrant the border being opened
Not me - count me as 1 not feeling hardship
How many would be reporting it if they reopened though?
Keep it closed! Fuck em
Imagine what a inconvenience being intubated is 😳
Better hardship than death.
CTVToronto Really ?
Opening the borders will cause hardship for the other four in five Canadians. Keep it close
5% say they or their families suffered severe hardship. What the hell is “hardship” and how big are their families? CTV/Nanos propaganda. 80% even in this biased numbers game want the borders closed.
Who cares, KEEP IT CLOSED!!
It’s ridiculous already, open the god damn border already. I blame cafreeland and her overlord JustinTrudeau for being total a**holes! Not one person should be saying keep it shit while it’s open by air!
Correct Tweet would be -- one in five Canadians confuse inconvenience and hardship.
Of course hardship is relative so how do we compare apples and oranges? A bit of relative short term minor inconvenience hardly warrants being tagged as a hardship. Many first world folk have no idea what real hardship is.
Now ask them if it's worth it.
This is crap!
For parents with new grandchildren to help families...a big hard choice!😔
Sorry, but not sorry. keeptheborderclosed
CTVToronto Hardship is a very broad term which includes inconvenience. Losing my 3 weeks timeshare can’t be identified as a hardship. Keep the border closed as long as it takes. A true hardship would be to get caught up in the political turmoil the Americans are dealing with.
Americans need to vote for Biden so a sweeping comprehensive plan can be put in place to get the Covid 19 infection rate way down - then the borders can be opened. Definitely not until then.
And then is for security for safe they have to understand I have family on USA I visit them often I can’t go on this summer as I understand that is a high risk
Hardship? Seriously? Hardship...No, inconvenience...maybe Keep the border closed until it’s for all safe to travel Spend vacation money in Canada, shop Canadian to help our economy Wear a mask, safe distance, wash hands We can all do our part
And due to the coronavirus that causes hardship to about 1/100 canadians
yes.. cant get to tonawanda to save 5 bucks on towels im sure are part of those polled
So snowbirds are entitled assholes
Sorry for your hardship, but this is about saving lives!! Your inconvenience is irrelevant.
Just wait until the fall when the snowbirds want to get away for the winter or check on their US property.
A survey of just over 1000 percent. How close to the border do those people live.
1 in 5? Really? What constitutes hardship? Not going to Target?
the Canadian Government corruption had caused it all
Hardship? Because they can’t go to Trader Joe’s? Hardship because gas is a little more expensive in Canada? Or is it hardship because people can’t get hard drugs?
CTVToronto nano
Wrong. It has saved countless Canadians from undue hardship. It has caused some inconveniences, sure, but hardly hardships.
The borders need to STAY CLOSED!!!!!
Hardship? Hmm I chose life.
There are far too many US plates in Canada even with the border closed. Not sure how or why but there seem to be a lots in border areas
You know what else causes hardship for Canadians? Being dead
CTVToronto I thought liberals wanted open borders?
No hardship whatsoever. Leave the border closed. Shopping and vacationing in Canada is better. Help the economy recover by spending in Canada.
Nope not be.
CTVToronto I prefer our current “hardships” over what could have been if the border was or is to be opened.
Keep it closed...
Open the Border already. If you fear the WuhanCoronavirus stay locked in your home with your mask & gloves on, bathing in antiseptic gel. flattenthefear
Who gives a shit
I’m a Canadian living in Washington with my American husband. Of course this had been an inconvenience but I see how my Canadian friends are taking this more seriously than my American friends. I 100% support the closure until American numbers go down.
CTVToronto What a bogus article. 5% of people actually reported experiencing hardship. People really don't appreciate what hardship is. There are regular flights between the two countries as long as people follow quarantine rules. Cross border shopping is not a hardship.
Dont be a Spreader keep it together! Its hard i know for ev1 some how, but were all fighting a terrible sickness,
That is total BS
4,635,279 COVID-19 cases in the US with 154,598 deaths versus Canada with 118,523 COVID-19 cases and 8,986 deaths. A little hardship is better than the alternative. Keep the border closed.
What a bunch of chicken littles in this thread 😂
1740 new cases daily in washington state.
I can book a vacation to Disney World with WestJet/Air Canada. How is that essential travel? Our border is not closed.
The hardship of the land border being opened would be death. Keep it closed. Anyone with an American fiance, well, does love conquer all?
🤣🤣
4 out of 5 report no hardship related to the closing of the US border.
Stop sharing this hogwash and keep our borders closed. Hardship is when the Covid capital of the world comes to Canada and infects people.
That sucks. But people dying needlessly from a preventable disease is pretty shitty too. Americans are a clear covid risk atm. sorrynotsorry adapt like everyone else.
Maybe so, but we'll live.
Sorry but it has to remain closed. Numbers probably not accurate anyway.
Yes it’s an inconvenience for some, but the closure is needed for as long as the pandemic is spreading. This is for the public health & safety for all Canadians.
Illegal land crossings are still open and used everyday. How about a story on that.
Bullshit
Hardship, really? Do you understand the meaning of this word?
Compare to hardship had it been open.
Totally agree with the closure, but sure do miss my family and friends that I haven’t been able to see since March. Just praying the USA gets it act together & listens to the doctors & scientists, NOT realDonaldTrump & his GOP followers. GOPCowards TrumpVirusCatastrophe
our cases are rising and the virus is outta control in the states. The border MUST stay closed
Where’s is the definition of hardship? Can’t go shop in USA? Can’t take vacation? Can’t watch sports? Don’t die of Covid-19? As a border town resident I say keepthebordershut
Unfortunately when the gov’t said the border is ‘closed’ they meant the land border so you can always fly there!
Suck it up buttercup my ass cheeks are sore from having to make money ok.
Well, they can always emmigrate...
keep it close NO USA entry
With the possibility of death for the other four.
Nanos is so wrong. This may apply at small border towns but that's about it.
How does Nick define hardship?
