Last week I was at the Intercontinental in Chicago for three days of meetings with nearly 100 colleagues.
Our Canadian colleagues bemoaned their police state and restricted access to essential goods via video meeting.
My next door neighbors own a home in western Ontario where they usually spend the summer. They’ve been vaccinated since March and they’re hoping maybe they’ll be able to go by late summer.
Looks like your Canadian colleagues have some work to do to convince their fellow citizens that the border should be reopened for non-essential travel. My guess is that your vaccinated neighbors will be able to visit Ontario sometime this summer.
Canadians divided on timing of U.S. border reopening, new survey finds
“A new survey by the Angus Reid Institute found Canadians nearly evenly split on when in 2021 the U.S. border, closed since March 2020, should reopen for non-essential travel.”
"According to the survey, 23 per cent of those polled say the border should reopen immediately, while 29 per cent said Canadians and Americans should wait to cross the 49th parallel until sometime this summer.”
“27 per cent of those surveyed responded it would be better to wait until the fall, while 21 per cent said the border should remain closed to non-essential travel until at least 2022.”
“Eighty per cent of those who responded said a two-week home quarantine should be necessary for those who did not have proof of full vaccination. With vaccination proof, the number supporting quarantine dropped to 48 per cent.”
