Some Canadian businesses want to let Americans back in. Most Canadians don’t
- DelaneyM 6y agoI'm Canadian, and based on my social circle at least I don't think anyone wants to see the border open to non-essential travel until either the US has things under control or (more likely) there's a vaccine. We're finally getting a handle on COVID, with 200-300 new infections nationwide daily and dropping, and we're on track to have schools opening (sort of, for some TBD definition of "open") in the fall. We don't want to fuck this up.
- julianlam 6y agoI feel for the resort owner mentioned at the top of the article, but what I feel most is disappointment over his selfishness in wanting to take tourism dollars in exchange for risking his community and the province-at-large to outbreaks of coronavirus. Already in Ontario we're seeing worrying signs of quarantine fatigue, but I sincerely hope we can beat this thing without falling victim to selfish indulgences. It's an interesting thought experiment to consider whether our willingness to accept a temporary loss of our personal freedoms is tied to the success (or lack thereof) of the coronavirus response in the United States.
