New statistics released Thursday showed there was an 87 per cent decrease in land border crossings between May 25-31 when compared to the same period the year before.
Interestingly, the CBSA noted there was a 22 per cent decrease in truck drivers entering Canada from May 25-31, despite the fact that no restrictions have been placed on commercial shipments and the agency hasn’t seen any indication of issues with supply chains for essential goods, including food and medical supplies, coming to Canada.
As for travellers flying to Canada from May 25-31, the CBSA said there was a 98 per cent drop from the year before with 762,620 travellers arriving that week in 2019 to just 16,939 a year later.
And that’s what’s wrong with having a “social media news desk”...
As far as I’m concerned we can keep the border closed Trump has completely ruined relations between the US and any country!
You don’t say?! I wonder why...
It should !
No shit. The borders CLOSED
Does that mean the CBSA has extra time to develop a plan to prevent border jumpers and illegal immigration
Well duh. Donkey of the day, goes to this writer.
How dumb. The borders have been closed. No one is supposed to be coming in. Why or how did the 475,000 people who have flown in get here. Were they quarantined?
🤔🙄
Whoever wrote this......duh!
Mmmk
Wow! 🤣
Why are people and companies fxuking comparing us/things to last year? Did you not know that Planet 🌎 Earth is under Quarantine you dumb fxuks.
Thank you Captain Obvious(ly)... remembering Covid
Please. Stay away until your country gets its epidemic under control.
Ctv you good ? Lol I wonder why travel is doing during a global pandemic? Lol
Juat can't wrap my head around why that would be 🧐
No shit! Well done . Really great work.
Lol haha that’s funny, uh yeah travel is sown across the board friend.
No way ?!
Ummm, it was closed because of Covid-19, and America is out of control, because of it. DUH!
Slow news night? I think we new this when they closed the borders and 2/3 of the flights have been cancelled. 🤷♀️🙄
I should hope so!
Wow, how come? 🙄
Wtf why is this news? The border is closed idiots
Oh wow! Really So unbelievable! You’d think there was some sort of pandemic 🙄🙄🙄
news flash. the sun is 🔥
No shit sherlock
Here’s your card!!!
and in other news, the moon still orbits around the earth in 27 days 🤔
As if this is even a story? Cmon folks!
Without a Royal Commission to back up your incredibly stupid headline, I call bullshit.
Is it a real headline? Because.....duh... the border is closed this year...
Of course, the border is closed
No shit
Let me get this straight. Jackie researched this. Wrote the article. Handed it to her boss who said, 'Get story' and CTV paid her for her efforts? Hey, do you guys need more writers? I got a scoop. If you stand in the rain, you get wet. Just. Like. A. Shower.
Now do cruise ships not docking at Canadian ports!
Ran out of ideas for stories?
Everyone move here?
Duh, border is closed
Wow ! Nothing gets past you guys !!! On top of things I see !
Theres a pandemic..have u heard?
LOL. Media is absolutely awful in every way conceivable!!!! Ughhhh!!!
Did they get a federal grant for this?
Good work!
No problem, we don't want people to travel here.
Except at Roxham road
Border closed and a quarantine. Down you say?
Ya think ?!?!!!!!!
Well, the borders closed soooooo....
Duh..... really? Lol
You know this is a ridiculous headline, right? Of course it's down... we are in a slow re-opening! No comparison to anything that happened last year.. good grief, do better.
Slow news day?
How is this a story?
Lol who runs this Twitter.... hmm wonder why?!
This is why people go to Twitter nobodies for the news instead of cable
The comments here are amazing!
Of course it's going to be down...its restricted (as it should be)! 🤦♀️
Who wants to come to Canada except illegal immigrants or rioters....
This is some ace reporting.
Ya don’t say🤔
Umm aren’t the borders closed?....maybe that’s why travel is down? 🤷♀️
No shit Sherlock - what a stupid story
You think?
Isn’t the border closed. Holy shit great reporting
😂 these comments though
Why vacation here when you can immigrate for free?
Isn’t the border shutdown or am I missing something.
BREAKING NEWS!!!
The borders closed between US and Canada plus no cruise ships. What would you expect?
Slow news day?...
Now, more shocking news from the restaurant industry! Canadians have dined at home more this past April and May than they did those same two months last year. Justin Trudeau says he will create a committee to look into the reasons behind those stark findings.
Stop reporting the obvious....
Really? Why?
No Shit Sherlock. Borders are closed!
No shit! We didn't already know that.
Well you don't say.....
This just in “CTV news is reporting that the sun will rise from the east tomorrow!”
CTV c’mon the border is closed lol I hope we keep it closed.
The border with the US is closed but isn't international flights still coming in
How many million did CBSA spend to reach this conclusion?
You don’t say!
TowerOfBabelCa Why would you come to this racist hellhole? Our PM hates black people, our cultural minister hates white people, our media hates white people
Thanks Captain Obvious! However, please note that there are 70 international flights tomorrow into/from Canada - so the Govt claim of real travel ban is just smoke & mirrors.
Thanks Captain Obvious!!
No shit, eh?
What a stupid statement. If the Border is closed, of course it’s down.
Atleast this isnt fake news
OMG, CTV is getting terrible. It was my go to after Global became so bad but now there is no media in Canada worth giving the time to.
What genius figured this out. The Boarder has been closed for the last 2 months!
No kidding! The borders are closed!!!
Is this really a story, the borders are closed. Horrible reporting
Think ive had enough of following ctv news with there bullshit stories they tweet 53 different times a day..... stories about if ppl are billionaires or not ... fuck this shit
You need new journalist bc you are becoming a joke. This headline is ridiculous. How is this a story? Our borders are closed, obviously travel is down.
No shit
No kidding.... slow news day ?
no shit. Another home run of a news story
Duh
🤦🏼♀️
No shit Sherlock
Slow news day?
I wonder if that is because the border is still CLOSED
Canadian media is embarrassing.
Maybe this is because we closed the border?
That's one of the dumbest headlines I've read in a while.
Any special reason for that 😂
Is this headline for real? Tell us something we don’t know ...
wow. that's news. how about have their been any layoffs, since not so many workers needed? why do some get to get paid high salaries while others suffer
Is this parody? I mean come on , give your head a shake.
Thank you for this great news story that would be obvious to all Canadians.
PLEASE - GOTTA KEEP it that way ...
That's some mighty grade-A reporting there. 👍🏾
🤦🏼♂️
Why? Something happen?
Omfg 😂😂😂 no shit
Wow! You guys are brilliant. How long did this take to figure it out.
Durrrrr, really, what could be the cause. Bunch of clowns.
Thank god ctv is on this. Does anyone know why? I know, let’s get Rosie Barton of CBC on this maybe one of those in depth thingies that she does.
Is this really newsworthy?
Seriously? You would be thinking it would up from last year during a pandemic. This is news to me.
You wasted electricity and bandwidth uploading this?
No s***
Isn’t that the current goal lol
🤔🤪really
No shit, what brainiac thought this story up while the border is CLOSED!
Wow. Ya think!
No 💩
Umh yah.... the border is closed non!?
And in other news, HAS confirmed periods of darkness at night - film at 11....
Who’d of guessed.
So much journalisming
No kidding? You should send a couple reporters to the border to investigate this anomaly.
Stop it.
Borders are supposed to be closed
How do I get a job at CTV? I also can write 1000 words on why water is wet.
No shit, thanks for the update!
What a revelation!
Duh, did you talk to 'experts' there are lots of them on msm.
Obviously.
Also, sky still blue and water wet!
Well duh
They. Closed. The. Border. What did you expect?
I wonder how much money was spent trying to figure that out 🙄
