The Canada-U.S. border is expected to remain closed to non-essential travel through to June 21 in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.The Canada-U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who is facing a tough re-election fight in the face of a severe economic downturn caused by COVID-19, has been pushing U.S. states to return to work and get the economy moving again. "Our priority needs to be keeping Canadians safe. And that is the spirit in which we have engaged in constant and constructive dialogue with the Americans to talk about shared interests, including the border.”
Some provinces, including Ontario and British Columbia, have been strongly opposed to reopening the U.S. border until health authorities gave the go-ahead. During a virtual question period on Tuesday, NDP MP Brian Masse, who represents the border riding of Windsor West, raised concerns about the coronavirus in the state of Michigan.
globepolitics See you after everyone is vaccinated 😊👍
globepolitics But what about people who have loved ones across the border? We aren’t allowed to visit them or they can’t even come see us! It’s been three months of not being able to see them! Can they include that on the essential list?
globepolitics Not long enough
globepolitics Absolute horse shit! Hey JustinTrudeau 🖕

globepolitics Should stay closed longer than that if the case ’s are high.
globepolitics Yep, who wants a neighbor to mess up our yard while their's in disarray.
globepolitics excellent! should stay closed until they flatten the curve
globepolitics Keep it closed till the end of the year at the very least!
mjrichardson_to globepolitics Should be longer
globepolitics Given the s**t show they're having down south, sounds still a bit too eerily for me.
globepolitics Until the US gets their health condition under control it’s hard to argue against this stand. I am not saying Canada is ideal but we still have our own health challenges to address. Keep it closed as long as necessary. cdnpoli TrumpDeathToll81K Trudeau
globepolitics Keep it closed until we have a vaccine! Jesus Christ - there is no essential “non-essential” travel to the USA - for what? Those big sporting events that are cancelled? Music festivals that are cancelled? Just “gotta see” Mt Rushmore this summer? I think it can wait champions.
globepolitics Please make it longer!
globepolitics HURRAY
globepolitics Keep it closed until the US learns to act responsibly.
globepolitics 🙏🏾
globepolitics It doesn’t need to reopen until next winter!! Lol
globepolitics Keep it closed until after US election.
globepolitics Not long enough. Keep it closed through the summer. We don’t need US tourists coming here.
globepolitics Perfect. Let's build a wall!
globepolitics Good! Keep it closed as long as necessary to protect Canadians.
globepolitics Till at least labor day works for me
globepolitics Fauci is warning Canadians about reckless Americans. I can turn a blind eye to their guns and drugs, but don't the virus across the border.
