Screw The Politeness: Canadians Respond To U.S. Calls To Reopen Border

While Canadian COVID-19 numbers have begun to stabilize in recent weeks, the U.S is in the midst of a terrifying spike in case rates. On July 8 alone, the U.S. confirmed over 62,000 cases — its highest single-day total yet and nearly half of Canada’s total case count. As of July 9, south of the border, there have been over 3.1 million total cases and 135,000 deaths, compared to just over 107,000 cases and 8,700 cases in Canada.

The global case-rate map produced by Johns Hopkins University paints a vivid picture of the difference in case rates between the two countries.of Canadians are in favour of border restrictions remaining in place.

Just say no. Get your shit together USA

mini_bubbly ...and when the border does open, search every vehicle. Anyone wearing a MAGAt hat, or in possession of Chinese Trump paraphernalia, turn 'em around. We dont need racist idiots cluttering up the country. Politeness, eh?😾

mini_bubbly Not sorry at all. KeepTheBorderClosed

mini_bubbly Trump fails again!

Bloody right.

No no no no no. Not sorry. No open border.

Fake news

Many people in the UnitedStates aren’t aware they can’t leave the country! No one can get out and no one wants to get in. COVID Masks4All

Time to open the U.S. Canadian border. My husband and I both live here in Quebec, and we would like it opened. Many of our friends would as well. Going to Vermont is not any worse than going to Montreal.

'Both governments are being responsive to the risk'? Bullshit! Canada has been responsive, how does 130,000 deaths and more than 50,000 new cases daily equate to being responsive to the risks. Keep the border closed!

Thanks but no thanks. US citizens would feel the same way we do if we were the ones with out of control and spiking Covid cases — AND there’d be plenty to say about Canada trying to push re-opening in that scenario. Keep it and clean up your act.

Have rules! If you require masks. Transmission rates drops dramatically. Open the borders

Ahahahaha

Stay home till healthy like lm doing.

It is understandable why the US wants the border opened. It is clear, to almost every Canadian who follow health official advice, that we cannot risk having non mask wearing Americans infect us. I’m sorry for their pain.

I now believe the'The Walking dead' show would indeed take place solely in the US if it were to happen for real 🧟

'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? 😖

That's a big HELL NO! Sincerely, Canada

Canadian border closure keeping couple apart despite cancer diagnosisThe closure of Canada's border to international travellers has forced an Ontario woman and her British fiancé to remain separated for months, even despite her recent cancer diagnosis. Them’s the breaks. Sad but true. Covid keeps me out of the hospital despite skin cancer on my leg. Should have used the Tinder filter to only find folks nearby.

U.S. policy triggers Harvard lawsuit, could expel thousands of Canadian studentsQuestions over whether thousands of international students could be deported from the U.S. under a new Trump administration policy are causing consternation among school officials and anxiety among Canadians studying south of the border. If I’m a Canadian attending an American university there is zero chance Id want to actually go there. Sure it’s tough they will lose their scholarships, but better to lose that than maybe your life in the shithole third world country that the US has become. It’s not like the Canadian students are coming back to some destitute third world country.
