Land border closed to Canada

We open our land border to the U.S. to "non-essential" visitors so they can look after their owned property here in Canada but we can't do the same for our owned property we own in the U.S.,, sure we can fly over but we can't drive across in our RV's and other than protecting the airline industry I simply can't see how it's safer to stuff a couple of hundred people into a aluminum tube with a closed ventilation system opposed to me and my wife going through your border in our truck and driving down to Florida?? I actually sent an E-Mail to Biden reminding him on how we share the longest border in the world and we are the only people that go to the U.S. with money, health insurance and leave when we're supposed to not to mention that Canadians own over $15 billion worth of property in Florida alone and spend around $5 billion a year while we're there! I'm seriously considering selling my RV lot, let's see how long this post stays up,,
  • This subject has been discussed at length by politicians on both sides. Logic does not apply. One thought was that the President has a full plate right now and does not need any controversy. Another person responded" that means the border won't open until after the mid terms" Of course that comment was in jest.
  • Whatever it is, its a lot closer to politics than science. And BOTH sides distort the heck out of it.
  • "I actually sent an E-Mail to Biden reminding him on how we share the longest border in the world and we are the only people that go to the U.S. with money, health insurance and leave when we're supposed to."

    Well said.
  • I agree. I’m still trying to understand the science behind this since it appears CA is well ahead of the US in vaccination rate. My wife had to show proof of vaccination to attend a play last week, not sure why the same wouldn’t work at border crossings.

    Actually I agree with you and the post will stay up as long as the politics don't get out of hand.
  • I agree it's crazy you can fly here but not drive here.
