Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday that it is too early to make a decision on reopening his country's border with the U.S.
“The approach that [President Biden] is taking on COVID right now much more aligns with where Canada has been for quite a while, grounded in science, grounded in protection of people as the best way to protect the economy and understanding that being there to support people is absolutely essential so that we can get through this as quickly as possible,” Trudeau told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“It's great to see America reengage. I think certainly there were things that were more challenging under the previous administration in terms of moving the dial in the right direction on the international stage,” he added.
Asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd how soon border restrictions would be listed, Trudeau responded, “I think there's an awful lot of different metrics we need to look at on.”
“Obviously, case counts, presence of variants, hospitalizations — all these things factor into the expert analysis. Our public health experts telling us what the right measures are and how concerned we have to be about variants,” he added. “Obviously, as vaccinations increase, we’re all hoping for good news and to get through this ... but for now, we all need to keep safe, and that means keeping them in place.”
The prime minister added that he expects all Canadians to be vaccinated by the end of the summer, despite some delays in distribution.

who cares, its still winter in the Great White North!
Xenophobe
I’ve been to Canada twice. I think I’ve seen everything there that I care to see so it’s all good.
This has had zero effect on my life.
People who like to fish are sick of this.
They don’t want any of Biden’s loser illegals up THERE
Seriously? The rules change on a whim, science has nothing to do with it.
Yup. Total racist.
America’s “hat”.
Well, I would like to pick up a few things at my US address in Ogdensburg, NY (to save on exorbitant shipping fees and some places do not ship outside of the U.S.).
It’d be far cheaper to give “migrants” tickets to Toronto.
Funny how easy it is to close the northern border but so hard to close the southern border. Personally, I’d be happiest with both borders closed. Anything good coming across either border is more than offset by all the bad.
The longest undefended borders in the world now closed by moron politicians exercising power over their people..
As if we would be doing bad things by simply making our shopping trips to upstate New York and other such activities. See my above post, lol.
Exactly I go fishing with my friends in Canada at least once to twice per year. Great fishing. I hate not being able to go. Had a family trip planned last year before they closed the border.

... It’s kind of hillarious that Biden and Trudeau are concerned with COVID moving across the Northern Border .... But our Southern Border is wide open and allowing massive amounts of unchecked undocumented individuals into the country with zero screening .....
