Border News
No news from the USA but effective Aug.9 fully vaxed US citizens can enter Canada. So vehicle travel to Mexico has not changed. Good news for Americans wanting to drive to Alaska.

because in Canada there are fewer cases per capita and higher vaccination rate than in the US.
.....quite a bit fewer....Canada is seeing only ~300 new cases a day now....the US is seeing ~50,000 cases a day; that is 166.6 x more cases in the US per day than in Canada.....and recall that Canada's population is appx 10% of the US pop :E
Daily confirmed US cases today: here-->
I was just looking at Dr John Campbell's "situational video" today, here: Canada the most vaccinated country in the World now
So, with our country so well covered by vaccination, and, as Moisheh mentions, the large cost $$$ to land-entry in terms of dollars = tests, entry into Canada is still pretty daunting for the casual American land traveler. It is extremely puzzling why the US isn't allowing Canadian casual travelers into the US by land crossing on or before August 9th. Imagine the testing cost to a fully-vaccinated US citizen coming across into Canada for just a weekend? A week? :h this requirement may change over time. We will see....
