    In fact it was just on TV. Trudeau and Biden's reps are talking about it now. It will be tied to infection rates and may be dependent upon being vaccinated.


    It will not be until at least June.

    Ontario is locked down until then.

    Things are "quickly" getting better and not because of Provincial governments. They are the reason we have been slow but regardless of them we are catching up with the U.S.

    Just give us a little time, we are almost there :)

  • Per the 2016 data:
    55% arrive by Cruise Ship
    40% by plane
    5% drive

    There's a push to open cruises back up, so with limited international options, I wouldn't be surprised if Alaska has a busy year.

    Of course, the businesses that target those who drive up will still be hurting but far better than last year.
  • Yup, just when ya think the US is over the top with restrictions, along comes Canadia....”Hold my beer, eh....”
