Border closings
It is likely that Canada will not reopen the border. It is also quite possible it will not reopen for about 6 months. Not good news. Latest polls show most Canadians do not want it to reopen

I do not see anything in the Treaty of Ghent where the US and Great Britain negotiated "mutual agreement" or "veto power" on opening and closing the Canadian border.
Good morning all.
.....the US / Canada border transiting protocols fall under the new post 911 US-Canada agreement for "border security". Under the "US Canada Joint Initiative" between Canada and US Homeland Security, it is called a, "collaborative and reciprocal measure", the land closure.

The US umbrella initiative is called "The DHS Response for Coronavirus".

So, in my humble opinion, I believe that the US will open the land border to Canadians undertaking non-discretional southbound multi-month snowbird travel before 2021, under some yet-to-be-published set of screening criteria. I know this sounds counterintuitive, but this is my gut feeling.....cheers
