U.S. land border closure continues to frustrate Canadian snowbirds

Oct. 21 is the deadline for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to declare whether it plans to ease these travel restrictions at the Canada-U.S. land border, or extend the prohibition for another 30 days.

Evan Rachkovsky, a spokesperson for the CSA, told CTVNews.ca in an email that Canadian snowbirds are itching to return to the U.S., but the current ban is"As over 70 per cent of Canadian snowbirds travel to the United States in their Canadian vehicles, the ongoing closure of the U.S. land border continues to cause frustration amongst these travellers," Rachkovsky said Wednesday.

The Canadian government eased travel restriction for U.S. citizens and permanent residents fully immunized against COVID-19 on Aug. 9.in order to travel to the United States by early November. However, there were no details provided on how this new policy would specifically impact travel at the land border.in Washington that the U.S. had hoped to ease land travel restrictions sooner, but the Delta variant delayed those plans.

"Why two people from the same family packing up their car and heading south across the border is not considered safer than going into an airport terminal with a thousand other people… is beyond any understanding," Firestone said.

Even Florida is not that hot in the winter. Sun still goes down early.

POTUS OPEN THE BORDER ! WE ARE MORE VACCINATED THAN YOU !

Travel is how a localized virus spread and mutated all around the globe. Let's keep it going so wealthy Canadians can winter in Florida. Money turns people into idiots

Why would anyone in their right mind want to vacation in one of the highest covid states? The hospitals are full! Just because you're vaccinated doesn't mean you can't get it!

Stay the Fvck home, idiots!

En français svp

Awwww, that would be just horrible.

Open the border to Canadians….this is ridiculous.

So.

Gee these experts shoor ar smrt

Don’t care.

And…. The moaning and crying from folks who want to go south will start in force. Sure wish the media would not give them any airtime. Enough already.

'No one knows for sure why the U.S. has kept the land border closed while Canadians can still fly into the country by air' They're afraid of COVID from conservative led provinces.

O poor poor people

Where is a will always a a way!!…The one who are really driven to go they will!!!!…

✈️

Not true. Clever Canadians have found even easier ways to head south. And cheaper!! $1000 cad will get you and your car across the border for all the adventures you need. If you’re vaxxed, no covid tests necessary!

Oh the horror of it all! Sad 🎻

It is getting a bit ridiculous. At what point is it just an insult to Canadians?

Canadian Border should of remained closed

No one cares about the 1%

Too bad snowbirds I don't have one bit of sympathy for you.

Just don't fvckn travel simple Suck it up and face the cold.

With the way the numbers are in the states they should stay closed, as then Canadians won't be sick.

Are they really true Canadians running away from our glorious winter? Just kidding. I’m jealous.

Open the gates

Tough beans .

Who cares!

SOME SNOWBIRDS Not to FLA, AZ & TX. The smart Canadians are saying...THANK-YOU Joe, for keeping us safe by not letting us cross into Covid Country, sitting in 47th place vs 🇨🇦 at 12th in Vax per pop. WE ARE 78 single/72% total vax!

Don’t be so selfish. It’s for a good reason. Hopefully longer than October 21.

They can still fly to the U.S. How’s that for hypocrisy and discrimination against those who can’t afford to fly?
