Canadian and U.S. politicians fed up with Trudeau's hesitancy to reopen border

Infected internationals? Come on in! Vaccinated, virus-free Americans? Stay out!

None of that makes any sense, of course. Even for the government of Justin Trudeau, it is deeply, deeply unintelligent.

And you can’t blame any of it on the provinces, either, as Trudeau’s TruAnon cultists are wont to do. Jurisdiction over international borders, and international airports, lies wholly with Ottawa. You know, the government of the aforementioned Justin Trudeau....

Easter and Erskine-Smith were joined by Brian Higgins, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives who represents a New York district that borders Canada. A Democrat, no less — no nasty, Trudeau-baiting Republican is he.

Trudeau has shown “a lack of leadership,” Higgins said this week, taking off the diplomatic gloves — and zeroing in on Trudeau’s promise to have 75% of Canadians fully vaccinated before restrictions get eased....

Schumer — not one to trifle with – didn’t mince words: “We can’t wait any longer. The monthly extensions … have no rhyme or reason, they confuse people, they don’t let people plan, they frustrate thousands of western New Yorkers and Southern Ontarians, who depend on the border crossing.”

Ouch. Your policy has “no rhyme or reason,” Justin Trudeau. So says a U.S. Senator you cannot afford to alienate. Your approach is “frustrating” and “confusing.”

And, when you consider that Justin Trudeau’s regime continues to welcome Covid-infected international flyers at our airports — but bars perfectly healthy Americans tourists and businesspeople — it just doesn’t make sense anymore.

It did at the start, as Chuck Schumer says. But not now.

An American who own vacation property in BC is begging the government to open the border, he's probably not the only one

And now Trudeau is giving an exception to the Canadian NHL teams so they can cross the border for the playoffs without the 14-day isolation, citing "a national interest" ... enough of the hypocrisy

Justin Trudeau continues to be an idiot!!

And I hoped to visit Canada in the next year before all this inane Covid scam started. Now even if trey open the border I’m not interested. They’ll make numerous demands for vaccinations, behaviors, etc. And their welcoming reputation has been shot by their heavy handed police activity in support of the cult.
I hope they suffer economically as a result of their behavior.

Justin Trudeau’s woke ideology invests every aspect of his border policies.

What do you expect. He is a drama teacher by training.

Is involved in cultural appropriation as a way of life which is a “stooping to accept” patronizing, residual colonial mentality.

Justin Trudeau has been destructive to Canada because of his woke ideology. His vaccine purchases were strictly from Europe becausee he could not sit down with Donald Trump and participate in helping to pay for the US related research and manufacture of Operation Warp Speed. Trudeau’s Euroweenie putative allies stabbed him in the back and did not honor their delivery agreements on contracted vaccines, so now Canada is far behind the USA in vaccination like a third world country Trudeau always wanted us to be?

Its ludicrous. Its time for this psychopomp to exit rapidly, stage left, and spare us the drama.

OPEN THE US CANADA BORDER, ......NOW!

Opening it will be meaningless. The heavy handed police state mentality we’ve all watched, combined with a certain demand for vaccination and walking around like Howard Hughes the germophobe makes it unpalatable for any sane tourist.

I would like to sometime soon go to my US postal address (in Ogdensburg, NY) to pick up those few things waiting so I do not have to pay some exorbitant shipping fee.

It is the Torontonians who still think Justin is cool and anyone resembling the Orange Man (including our Premier Doug Ford) is not who remain the big problem in this country.

"I hope they suffer economically as a result of their behavior."

Well your hope has been realized in many sectors. But the politicians in Canada don't care. Sound familiar?

The Red Chinese captured Justin from Canada’s Governemt a long time ago.
Justin will open the border when the Red Chinese says it’s okay.

You know what else is a national interest?
Opening the schools

Yes it does. And I wish the same on our tyrants. I refuse to help tyrannical jurisdictions recover if I can find any alternative.

Toronto. Home to Dominion voting systems. Right in the embassy area. Coincidence? I think not.

Um no. Embassies are in Ottawa. There is a heavily fortified consulate that loves to drape the rainbow flag however.

The heavy handed police state mentality we’ve all watched>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not only have I watched it, I have experienced it. I have dual citizenship, and could travel across the US/Canada birder as a matter of rights of citizenship. Earlier on, when the Canadian Government did not impose compulsory 14 day quarantines in a hotel and testing which cost over 4000 dollars per instance, they sicked the cops on me to check and see if I could be caught not quarantining. It was harassment.

Theyy even called my wife from Ottawa and asked her is she was aware I had been in the USA ( IN NORTHERN MAINE where there was less Covid at the time than where I live in Canada), and tried to get her to say thatI could not quarantine in my own home with her.

The border patrol and the Ottawa health Officials just did not want me to travel , contrary to my Charter Rights in the Constitution of Canada, they wanted to find a way to deny me re-entry into Canada by saying I had no place to quarantine without risking my wife.They did not care at all about the science. They treated me like I had just traveled to New York City and that I would been infecting every sentient being I connected with in Canada, as if they had some kind of superiority to Americans. They are idiots.

Canada is a nation which has no respect for freedoms. They refuse to work with churches to they can remain open like bars and Wal-Mart do, and just shut the churches all down. Spiritual matters during a time when s so many people are dying are judged superfluous. They want us to conclude that God is Dead and the federal Government has taken his place.

You bet these a$$ hats who run Canada should open the border.Trudeau is using the pandemic for a great socialist reset. Ordinary Canadians must stay at home you see, and spend their money in Canada.That’s really whats behind it.Scratch Trudeau and you will find a totalitarian Che Guevera lurking just underneath. he would be executing his political enemies if he through he could get away with it.

Trudeau must go. We need to rid ourselves of Socialist idiots , the NDP and the liberals. They just do not have the courage to lead.They are dirty. And they mean to enslave Canadians as much as possible through taxation and legislative control imposed by their newly born police state. We are going to have to fight up here to get our freedoms back.And Canadians are barely beginning to understand the fact.

OPEN THE US /Canada Border. NOW!

I support the total destruction of the economy of Canada.

This is the only bitter medicine to cure voter idiocy there. I am less than 50 miles east of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. My wife and I honeymooned there and are approaching our anniversary.

We are two Americans not allowed to go there for a visit we wish to make.

Canada presently gets none of our tourist dollars nor those of other Americans. No ferries are allowed to travel to Vancouver Island from the USA.

Canada, keep your big trucks and trains out of the USA. We need to cut off ALL Canadian freight inbound to the USA.

Keep ALL Canadians out of the USA. Send NO dollars into their economy.

Canada says, “Screw you, Americans !”

Canada, you richly deserve your harsh fate.

Its a harder fight in Cnada. We already have been disarmed,and we are so heavily taxed, Provincial Sales tax and federal GST
tax on all manufactured goods add up to 17% in some provinces.

The smug socialists who control Canada do not represent what Canadians want. They represent what their racist/marxistideology wants rather than what the People want.

Huge shakeup needed in Cnada.

The US consulate is on University Avenue. There must also be some sort of visa office for China up the road since when I worked in the downtown area there were always Falun Gong protesters in front of an office tower about a block north of the US one on the opposite side.

Can Canadians in the U.S. go into Canada? They often wait 3-6 months for a doctor’s visit, be a shame to miss one and have to reschedule. Socialist systems can be killers when they ration care.
