From CNN’s Paula Newton in OttawaCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that the US is requesting American troops be placed within 20 miles of the US-Canada border to help with border surveillance especially at irregular crossings. Trudeau indicated his government did not believe that was necessary at this time, but that talks were ongoing.
“Canada and the United States have the longest un-militarized border in the world and it is very much in both of our interests for it to remain that way. We have been in discussions with the United States on this,” Trudeau said during a news conference outside his Ottawa home where he remains in quarantine.
Later at a government news conference in Ottawa, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland revealed Canada had made its opposition known to many levels of the US government, including the Defense Department and US Homeland Security. "Canada is strongly opposed to this US proposal and we've made that opposition very, very clear to our American counterparts,” she said. “We understand the concerns of our American neighbors and friends. What we have said is we really do not believe at all that there would be a public health justification for you to take this action.”
In blunt terms Freeland underscored that, in her opinion, this was not the way treat a trusted friend and military ally.Canada borders 13 American states and before the Covid-19 crisis the two countries shared one of the most lucrative trading relationships in the world. Both countries jointly decided to close the border to nonessential traffic earlier this month. Essential commercial trade and traffic has continued with enhanced medical screening.
lol!!
Sounds a bit silly. One State wanting a shut down, yet the country as a whole r filling stadiums 2 watch sports. Be Brutal Here. Is This Not A Mockery. 12 people in a stadia could contaminate hundreds after mingling. Get wise America. Surely U can Live without sport for 6 months

How many stories were corrected by cnn today after being erroneous
Not correct all of your other lies.
I watched CNN for years, no longer I switched to FoX when CNN bashed FoX News so I took a look at FoX News so refreshing. They report on all aspects rather then just name calling about Trump your station negativity got depressing to watch. Now Its Fox news for me.
and trump wants it ba k open on easter? wtf is wrong with this evil man
That is why confirmation of the facts should be important to follow as a rule specially by the social media, also when quoting statistics resarch is a necessity to do by the Press!
Make it June. Everyone is just guessing anyway...

THATS INSANE! 8 WEEKS! Democrats are going to create another depression
CNN - your own article said May 4th, not the end of May. Hire an editor
Why is this just not a national thing at this point? States who are refusing are just propagating the problem.
I doubt this is legal. False imprisonment of his entire state.
I have a bad feeling about this...
Isn’t this after easter
Better all states can do this for quratine for 21days same like India
So much for “live free or die.”
God damn lol straight up 9 weeks away
Remember when they scared women so much about Zika they were aborting their babies? Anyone even scared of Zika anymore? There is nothing good that ever comes from government. Stop playing into the fear mongering. OPEN YOUR BUSINESSES AND GO BACK TO WORK! Coronavirus Quarantine
Great job matching your tweet to the article’s facts 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Ridiculous order
president of Nigeria flown out of the country after tested positive to corona virus but was denied, and now the president is no where to be found Since then we have not seen any video of him either on national TV or social media, talk more of addressing the nation
Good luck.
What about food and neccessary items

The request runs until 4 May NOT the end of May.
fakenews strikes again. Your article says May 4th. I guess only thinks there are 4 days in May. Great reporting
How you gonna say until the end of May, but then when you read the details it’s up until May 4th?

Our governor on Ohio is a republican and he’s been doing a great job. And no I didn’t vote for him but he is definately looking out for us in Ohio.
CNN, hard to defend you when you put out news like this. It’s until May 4th, which is what a lot of states seem to be doing.
Wrong end date, it's through May 4.
End of May!!!?
End of May?
With NH basically being a tourist state... this is going to crush them. Mud season is going to be completely missed. Ugh, this whole thing sucks so much.
WHY ISN'T THIS A COUNTRY ORDER FFS
End of May......?
Are you keeping your word and NOT transmitting the Corona trump rally today?
Aht Aht Aht! Trump said he’s opening the country by Easter, so that “end of May” order won’t suffice
Super power weapons from GOD....
Think of it as not having to deal with black fly season.
Nice move
New Hampshire wants stimuli
NH governor waited too long to implement this stay at home
اوه خدای من😔
You call me ignorant SusanSp and delete the tweet. you hope I am ignorant and will continue watch Propaganda from CNN. so you work for CNN and this is the best you could come up with. Learn to be a journalist and instead of propagandist Susansp. got it SusanSp
Stay safty at home !! ☸️☸️☸️☸️☸️☸️🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠😷😷😷😷😷😷🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏☸️
This is important, and I hope this stay at home order will be respected
About GD time!!
I stopped watching CNN because you stopped airing President Trump's coronavirus updates. So I will watch FoxNews OANN and any news outlet that is willing to let the American people get updates on this deadly virus from the federal government.
That’s ridiculous
Shouldn't it be 4rth of May? Well that will be 5 full weeks of quarantine. Based on the latest medical reports this should be the shortiest timing to be sure you're cured and not a carrier of the virus (if people are systematically tested too). Tough for business, good for people
GovAbbott Do the right thing! Place StayAtHomeOrder NOW.
1SheenaJones thinks May 4th is the end of May... ThisisCNN
Ridiculous.
what is he so frightened of?
☸️☸️☸️I wish all are be well!! 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Will Shay Bourne's execution be delayed?

End of May? Wow.
So.. we gonna do this again in September and again in December. People aren’t gonna do it.
The end of May?
Anything to push the extension of social engineering... increase the need of benefits as long as possible to teach people how to rely on governments for support and not themselves. Plus another CNN hack job... wrong date... May 4th allows schools to open
Until May? What
And Texas Gals are happy about it. He’s a leader and Abbott listens to experts. I’m a human before I Vote. I want all states to stand and listen. And trump admin. Get those people and biz. And PPE. NOW
Every fucking state should have this now. What are they waiting for? This won't get better by doing half measures.
This is absolutely insane.
GODD DAMMM
Unconstitutional
MAY FOURTH IS NOT THE END OF MAY.
End of may!?!?
