This is polled regularly. The majority (more than 80 percent) of Canadians want the land border kept closed. The premiers and prime minister are respecting the wishes of the citizens and taking appropriate action.

Air travel is currently unrestricted out of the country but one must self isolate upon returning. If someone needs to leave the country they can. They just have to a fly.

Gary thank you for your informative link.

Cheers.

That's because 80% of Canadians never venture outside their neighborhoods, let alone across the border, so it doesn't matter to them. Try polling the people that actually cross the border, those that live in border towns and cities, and regularly cross it, and see if your numbers hold up. Do they poll snowbirds, I wonder?

Depends where you live I guess. We live in a town full of snowbirds and own property in a snowbird community. I haven’t met one person who wants the border open. In addition we haven’t met one person who plans on going south even if the borders open....unless of course there is an effective vaccine by then. Personally I would like to go south this fall as we are making some renos to our property there. But won’t risk my families health or that of my community to do it.

I respect your position. I understand your concerns.
And those of everyone else. Opinions vary.
It's that type of issue, on this type of forum.
I live on the border. I can see Michigan from my front window. (not really, just pulling that old Sarah Palin gaff out of the archives for effect)
That's what forms my opinion.
