    1. some are Canadian citizens that live on the other side of our border. I have not seen my son since February and it is horrible

    1. @Rob Mausser Yeah you can fly there but if you child lives 2 hours away by car it might take you 8 hours to fly there by plane. Why because there is no major airport where they live

    2. necessary traffic only into country and you have to self-isolate for 2 weeks when you get back if a citizen, don;t have planeloads of tourists and car loads of shoppers coming in, get a grip and tell the facts

    3. @Konrad Smith how ?? Im trying to go as welll.. how are u going ? Isnt nonnessential still banned and cant travel? What are u gonna telll them? Pleaseplease reply. I want to go so back for travviling

    4. Its to stop “carbon emissions” and “climate change”. Nothing to do with covid bs. This is all political.

  1. I called it! I said the border would remain closed for another month. Now the funny part? The border closed because Daddy Justin and Trump got into a little fight, and now Daddy Justin wants to keep the border closed till after the USA elections. Mark my words.

    1. Every expert is expecting it to be closed until some time in 2021, absolutely no one thought it would open this month. The border closed cause America denies science.

    2. @Live And Inspired – The border closed because Canada is ridiculous. America doesn’t “deny science.” Lockdowns and mandated face coverings and refusing to send kids back to schools is ACTUAL “denying of science.”

    3. @Slade Grey ..So how about you back your statement up by providing links / sources of actual scientist saying that. My guess is that you can’t .

    4. @NWOterminated2020 Oh, it is going to be much longer then that. Did you catch the little blurb of “We want to make sure the Pandemic is under control”?

      That is Daddy Justin speak for “We want to make sure Trump is out of office”. Sure, I know the theory is kind of out there, but when you have news papers like the Toronto Star and the Sun printing how Canadians hate trump ergo they hate USA citizens, it makes sense.

  2. Everyone is so afraid of being ridiculed by Trump that they end up hardly making sense. This is a perfect example of that.
