Reopen the Canada-U.S. border? Canadians say sorry, but no thanks

Citizens of one country who own property in the other have been barred from checking on their homes. Border towns accustomed to welcoming cross-border visitors to their restaurants and stores have seen pronounced declines in business since mid-March.

DHS spokesperson Alexei Woltornist said the department is in close contact with Canada and with Mexico, where similar restrictions are also in place, but has “no changes to announce” right now.A CBSA spokesperson declined to comment on the discussions. Since the operational area of terminals has shrunk amid cratered demand, airports could create a “biosafe zone” and conduct rapid Covid tests for arriving passengers, said Gerry Bruno, vice president of federal government affairs at the Vancouver Airport Authority and the coalition’s executive director.

But for the plan to work, Covid test accuracy has to improve and governments must be willing to fund the project, its advocates say. Just as 9/11 reshaped travel to emphasize security, they argue, the pandemic will likely require public health to assume a larger focus of the traveling experience. As the crossing restrictions continue into mid-summer, border communities are seeing their economic effects.

Can you blame them?

America is a spoiled, red-cheeked, feet-stamping child being told “no”.

Can you blame them?! Hell, the Mexican govt wants to build a wall to keep US out.

Can you blame them?

soledadobrien Don’t do it Canada. Be safe keep your borders closed.

Why would the Canadians want to admit a virus infected bunch like us. Many of us don't even have the common sense to wear a mask.

F*ck Canada

We need to build a wall, keep the americans out

Phillygirl1441 Do not do it Canada, we can't be trusted. Don't succumb to the pressure. JustinTrudeau

soledadobrien Who would blame them , I'm sure most rational Americans don't. Sort your own country out first.

It's Canada's border and they control it in their best interest. Nothing wrong with that. In U.S. it's a different story. Left wants open borders aka no borders at all. Which of the two has their country & citizens welfare in mind?

I dont blame Canada one bit. realDonaldTrump has completely mismanaged the US response to COVID19 and we are among the most infected in the world because of Trump. WorstPresidentEver TrumpIsKillingAmericans TrumpHasNoPlan TrumpKillsUS AmericanTravelBan

soledadobrien Be smart Canada. Don’t let us in.

Not a good idea. All the campers and vacationers will go over the bridges and cross the border to take a safe vacation in Canada. The Canadiens took the virus seriously, why would they want the contagious Americans.

soledadobrien To all those thinking of moving to Canada to escape the trump insanity, not so fast. Americans aren’t welcome in Canada or Europe since we’ve screwed up virus response so horribly

soledadobrien We understand girl. It’s super raggedy down here 🥴

Canadians have every right to shut their borders to us and keep them shut. Lawmakers should be badgering the WHITE HOUSE to do a better job of containing the damn virus! Canada is being responsible. They shouldn’t have to suffer because our current president is a complete idiot!

Their “nearest northern trading partner”

I don’t blame them in Canada. I didn’t want NYErs in April and I don’t want FL, AZ, TX, CA etc in my state now... why should Canada suffer our ignorance?

Weld it shut

soledadobrien Who says we want any Canadians here. We already have PamAnderson and NicoleArbour . What else is there. Oh wait, Democrats what cheap legal prostitutes again.

soledadobrien No no no no no no!

I don’t blame them at all.

Canada should build a wall and have the US pay for it.

soledadobrien Why in the hell would Canada want to open up the borders of a country run by a raving lunatic and his GOP brethren. They have no control of this pandemic and a significant portion of Americans can’t follow basic infection control recommendations...don’t do it Trudeau!

In fairness, we aren't all THAT sorry.

soledadobrien So come back in January after President Biden is in office?

Why would they want to let superspreaders into their country?

At least the US government wants to start talking and building a plan to eventually reopen the border. Canada government has their fingers in their ears & screaming “la, la, la, la”. No plan is not a strategy. Make a plan.

UrsulaCuffee Good for Canadians. I don't blame them. Why are they going to let reckless Americans go there and infect them. They have actual 'leadership' in their country. Totally the opposite as what we have in the US. That's why we're dying every day.

A third world country is not allowed . Bye bye

If anything give them he numbers I’d imagine they’d be tightened.

Canada has done the work necessary to mitigate the pandemic unlike us so they need to stand strong here.

soledadobrien We are sorry Canada!

soledadobrien Don’t blame them. Stay safe up there!!!

Don't blame them one bit.

As an American Citizen living in Toronto now. I ask the Canadian government to keep the borders closed.

Americans need to stay the f*** out of Canada!

Must be scary knowing you've got a festering cauldron of disease and caustic stupidity boiling over just south of you.

Laurie_Garrett Why in hell would Canada want the border open?

Nope nope nope

Canada, Mexico and many US States have essentially barred me, an Arizonan, from visiting. And I perfectly understand why - stay wise, my friends.

Our US government has no compunction about putting its residence at risk. No reason Canada should suffer the same fate

So, so embarrassing.

Don’t blame the Canadians one bit.

Very smart 🇨🇦. I live in Michigannand have been to your country many times. Don’t let our TRAITOR ruin Canada too.

Shoot. Why put pressure on them? They are doing the right thing. U.S. lawmakers really have better things to be doing anyway, don't you think?

California teachers fight back against pressure to reopen schoolsCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered a mountain of masks and other protective gear for schools to encourage safety. But one of the most powerful teacher unions in the country says it’s still worried I don't understand why there aren't huge protests being organized. I don't believe that a majority of this country believes that it is safe to send kids to school. Don't children have rights too?! Ugh this makes me sick! Yawn. The California Teachers’ Association, just like the NEA & other teachers’ unions, are corporate lobbying organizations that care more about making sure schools don’t open than the well-being of students and the needs of parents. Their money lines the pockets of politicians. ..it isnt safe to return kids to school in a few weeks, and experts know this. People should be listening to the advice of experts, and a very, very distant second to politicians, and officials interested more in money than families.

Dismissing 'Flexible' CDC Guidelines, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Doubles Down on Pushing Schools to ReopenThe CDC guidelines are "meant to be flexible and meant to be applied as appropriate for the situation," DeVos said Death lady with no education experience de pushes. Her very very far right covid agenda at expense of kids The fact that school leaders are meeting VIRTUALLY should say something about the safety of opening schools. There are less of them in a room for a shorter period of time than there are kids in a classroom all day. If it’s not safe for them to meet then it’s not safe for kids.

EXACTLY AND NOT ONLY THAT THESE KIDS IS NOT GONNA SIT STILL AND WEAR A FACE COVERING ALL DAY I HATE TO SAY THIS I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD SON MY SON WAS GETTING SICK LIKE EVERY MONTH JUST GOING TO SCHOOL AND SINCE WE BEEN HOME HE HASNT BEEN SICK AT ALL GOPNoLivesMatter It seems a little selfish to deprive children of a normal childhood. I understand if you have pre-existing conditions or are 65+ and you choose not to go to work, but we should still open schools and find ways to work with the employees that can’t/ shouldn’t return right now.
