The US-Canada border is expected to remain closed to non-essential travel until at least August 21, two Canadian government sources tell CNN.

The extended restrictions will include stepped-up enforcement and surveillance at most Canadian land borders in the coming weeks, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they are not authorized the speak publicly on the matter. By mutual agreement, the US-Canada border has been closed to all non-essential traffic since March.

"President Trump reiterated that USMCA is an unprecedented achievement for all three countries that will help ensure our economies emerge stronger from coronavirus." Truck drivers, health care workers, flight crews and others, including most recently sports professionals, are currently exempt from Canada's mandatory 14-day quarantine. According to one poll, a large majority of Canadians say the US-Canada border should remain closed for the foreseeable future. The US has 3.

FOLLOW BreakUpFacebook let's take Facebook down..! Facebook is now too powerful, we must BREAKUP all it's platforms.

Keep it closed till there is a vaccine. It's obvious the US cannot control the pandemic as long as Trump is president.

Ok

Finally a decision by both sides of the government made sense.

better keep it closed please.. for Canadas safety .. no one cares about us here :(

Probably in Canada’s best interest to put up a Wall if Donald keeps ignoring and trying to discredit one of the Worlds best science minds. Hang in there Fauci without you we are all screwed.

Lock it! Canada does not need infected diseased Americans coming into Canada bringing the Plague with them! We did well on our own - let's keep it that way!

Good call Canada, our government can't control the virus. Now we got bubonic plague squirrels in Colorado...

Americans: unwanted! TrumpIsNotWell

❤😍

Close it down until January. Trump does not care about American lives, what makes anyone think he give a damn about our neighbors to the north.

End of the year please and thank you.

Legace_Abaga you gonna request a refund for your ticket to Toronto?

Can New England become part of Canada? Pretty please.

No Americans allowed.

Well, we'll see you on the other side, Canada. When the epidemic of the current administration is hopefully over in January 2021. Our best chance for a cure is election 2020. God willing.

“Until further notice” - that means “don’t call me, I’ll call you”

Awesome news. Please keep closed until US improves drastically.

How the USA became a third world country under dictator realDonaldTrump . See how we, the rest of the world, avoid and protect ourselves against the USA! USA the new North Korea😂

Should realDonaldTrump and/or GovRonDeSantis be at least charged with Manslaughter for the additional lives, that are being lost because they have put politics ahead of saving lives? Please vote in this poll and VoteBlue2020

Yes keep it closed, New York is still recovering, no Canadian coodies please.

And one more time! 🎵American woman...Stay away from me-eee🎵🇨🇦

🦠American here who supports this 100%. ALL other countries should ban Americans right now. No reason others should suffer from the Trump virus too. Non-Americans should avoid coming here as well as we’re contagious. Should have moved to Canada in 2016.🦠

It should remain closed why would Canadians want Americans carrying the virus into their country

America are our neighbors to the north supporting a wall to separate.

Good. Dont let us Americans spread this virus more.

Thanks to Trump administration bungling, we are quarantined.

We have it under control because all levels of government are working together regardless of their political party.

Cheers. Keep the virus and mental diseases out

As a Canadian..........thank god.

Yet Americans can fly in. How ridiculously stupid!

We're the pity of the world. Well done MAGA'ts.

Yes, keep the boarder closed!🇨🇦😊

Can we send our racists your way?

I am an American and I fully support Canada’s decision. Hopefully many other countries will continue to keep us at bay.

Keep it closed until the US has covid 19 under control. That may be never with the current president.

Keep it closed until the US gets a real President rather than a clown.

The World Should Know! Azerbaijani civilian killed as a result of artillery fire of the Armenian armed forces in the direction of Tovuz region StopArmenianAgression KarabakhisAzerbaijan Azerbaijan

America’s hat puts its foot down

We’ve watched our neighbours’ example and built cages for you American criminal citizens trying to get into our country illegally.

trumps tax payers can pay for another wall if you'd like

Americans with no maple syrup for their pancakes & waffles LOL

angrywomanco going to be some northern state inhabitants going through poutine withdrawal

Stream love me land

Deservedly so.

I’d say being a border with the usa would be reason enough to close it..

No shit. As a Canadian I have never seen my fellow citizens as angry as when an American license plate is seen in town. There is literally a mob wanting to set fire to it!

It better fucking be closed indefinitely

Who can blame them?
