Tourism, certainly, but that's already in the toilet regardless of who our border is open to. Even for overseas countries, we imposed no restrictions on trade or commerce, only visitors. I doubt this accounts for a non-trivial fraction of our economy, especially with public spaces already shutting down.
- phoobahr 7y agoThe US is the only country we share a land border with and at the very least at this time of year 35million people will starve without trains and trucks over the border. So, yeah, the first logisitical barrier I can think of inside of 30 seconds.
- mercurysmessage 7y agoRight in the article: "Trudeau said the new border controls will not apply to trade and commerce in order to keep Canada's supply chain open."
- smnrchrds 7y agoIt doesn't look like it is just visitors. People with Study and Work Permits seem to be affected as well.
- burke 7y agoSure, and perhaps a solution for America would include work and study permits alongside permanent residence in the category of exceptions.
