Probably a good thing. Justin Trudeau’s insanely PC travel policies until very recently likely mean there’s a big spread up there. This will help protect us.

There is another “convoy” coming up from Central America. Mexico is ill prepared for an pandemic and are doing little or nothing to prepare. In fact, Mexico City hosted a huge music festival last weekend. If/when Mexico gets hit hard, they’ll be swarming at our border.

Create a meme that illegals are coming for your toilet paper and they may garner the necessary support.

If the Canadian border was closed by Canada, isn’t it closed to those trying to leave Canada for the USA?

BINGO! They’re stupid and ignorant self centered, selfish idiots who can’t see beyond their own noses.

Yes but is the Windsor Ballet considered essential travel?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Trump just said Mexico border will not be closed. But Canada border is closed for non essential crossing ... he used example of going across border to restaurant.

Mexico has no where near the medical system that Canada does and has the potential of a major viral epidemic.

This does not make sense. Anyone got a thought on why the difference?

What about tourists in Niagara Falls, NY, who want to cross over for a quick look at the falls from the Canadian side and then return to the US? Will that be prohibited?

It all depends on how one defines non essential.
