Canadian Snowbirds can leave...by air only. The US will not allow Canadians to cross the US border right now. Part of a reciprocal agreement between both countries to limit the spread. This has large support among the Canadian population.

Wait. What?? Leaving "by air" and landing in the US doesn't count as "crossing the border?" By what logic?

With the numbers already back up in most areas of Canada they are already talking of increasing restrictions again. If that happens it will undoubtedly have a very big negative influence on the decision to reopen the border.

Few in the aviation community believe the border will reopen before next spring.

Closed until either a vaccine or the rate in the uS drops to the same, or lower, than Canada's

Well, I guess that will keep traffic down here in southern AZ. It also means I'll be watering my winter neighbors' palm trees all year. :(

You are watching too much news !
They love to pick out someone or a group with no masks on and show it while they completely disregard the thousands who are obeying the recommendations.

Just this morning while my wife was in the supermarket and I waited in the car, I watched the ones going into the store with masks on and out of about 35 people only one did not have a mask.

I don’t know. I watched footage of a key US political figures rally yesterday and there was mostly unmasked people attending.

Just sayin.
