The real thing that's happening here is there is basically an exact date when it would be safe to open the border. There is no real appetite to hit that date right on, and if it happens later to be safe, pretty much everyone is cool with that. Eventually low COVID cases in North America won't be a new thing, it'll be old news and we can start to party together again.

I worked in the guide outfitter biz in my youth - all I can say is where big game is concerned - they are not sending us their best! Some very notable exceptions - but yeesh, not many. Generally a different sort in the fish game from those I have met on the river and on the plane to and from.

But Trump Jr and the rest of his family are all vaxed.

Point Roberts' only grocery store says it will permanently close July 15 unless the border is opened. They mainly make their money on Canadian shoppers. WA Governor Jay Inslee is pissed, but of course he can't do anything about it.

It's pretty ridiculous that they haven't make exceptions for exclaves like Point Roberts.

ya but the members or his cult are not - and are exactly the type to lie about being vacinated 'caus "MAH FREEDOMS" and WHAT RIGHT does Canada have to control what a GODFEERINMURCAN DOES!

Some of these Fuckers would actually argue about the 2nd amendment as soon as they got off the fucking plane! No- you can't assemble your rifles in the airport and no there are no bears in said airport (well except for the stuffed one and he already dead!)

As soon as they step off the plane in full camo - you knew it was going to be fun. Sir - you know I can still see you right?

You should've pretended you couldn't see them.

"Whos there! WHO IS SAYING THAT??"

So how do Trump Jr. and his friends get an exception to the border closure?

Not in your fucking life. Any stupid cocksucker who voices a "MCGA" sentiment in this country is immediately pegged as an idiot redneck goof. So no this doesn't read like a make canada great again rally. Canada didn't used to be that great (see residential schools), we're getting better and making reparations.

Swing and a fucking miss Josef.

This whole thread reads to me like a "no one up here is rushing to open the southern border until we don't think a bunch of lying covid infected douchbags is going to come up here and contaminate us" rally.

Also, this whole thread has been:

"Why can't we come to Canada?"

- explains why

"Ya but that's stupid. why can't we come to Canada?"

over a year ago " someone " said that border would be open by summer... of which year ?

i think the sentiment was that the money is more important and would open that border

OTOH the exsplanations do give us good reasons to say nasty things

I haven’t read this whole tread but the parts I have read don’t seem to have a lot of people asking that question. The last big chunk has been about Canadian politics which was interesting because we hear close to zero about any of that down south.

All of that being said there has been far more people in this thread talking about how stupid and ignorant Americans (which can be true) than there have been people asking why they can’t get into Canada.

I did not profit from the pandemic (didn't qualify for any stimulus money or PPP loans, etc.), like many folks I know (especially forgiven PPP loans). But I did get laid off due to the pandemic. And the UI bonus money *did* help me take my time with my job search, so I could hold out for something both interesting and lucrative. Took 5 months, but the new job is $45k more than the last (can I get a woohoo!). So I don't feel like I gamed any system, but that the UI bonus $$$ was appropriate and put to good use in my case.

FWIW, in CO, I did have to prove active job searching (NBD, as I actually was searching). They're probably too busy to actually verify anything though (but I think you do get pretty screwed if you get caught for UI fraud).

You are talking about MCGA which as far as I know is made up (again we don’t hear anything about Canada down here except for the occasional PM black face photo).

My point stands that a big chunk of this thread has been Canadians talking about how stupid or evil Americans are and they don’t want them to visit their country. If you can’t see the parallels between that and the rhetoric coming from maga rally’s about Mexicans coming to America then I can’t help you.

You should know that I still love your country and believe you should keep it closed as long as you please. Hopefully it’s open sooner rather than later.

Rather than "dumb" you could classify them as "ignorant". There is a higher % of scientific ignorance in the US in regard to covid, ideologically based ignorance. You have just over 50% fully vacconated and its not much higher of a % of the people with one shot. We have 80% woth atleast one shot. We've bought into the science. You said yourself that your ignorant to the facts of what is going on outside your border. That doesnt mean there isnt a lot of great people below the border, obviously there are, or non ignorant people, again obviosly there are. It says the risk , based on the % of ignorance, is there. Again youve admitted that to a degree

According to John Hopkins Canada has 23.4% of your population fully vaccinated. That’s 8.8MM people. It also says the US has 46.2% of its population fully vaccinated or 151.6MM people. That sounds off so maybe it’s fake news…

CNN does their metric by doses per 100 people. It has the US at 96 and Canada at 91.

The vaccines seem to have been much more available in the US than Canada so maybe that’s where you’re getting your differing numbers from.

It’s just on this day in history it’s particularly difficult to stomach the holier than though rhetoric.

46.2 fully vaccinated despite the availability of the vaccine. It just doesnt look like it sill reach 75% fully vaccinated.
We have 80% with one shot and a late start getting vaccines. If we hsve 80% with one shot and now a ton of available vaccines its safe to assume we'll have atleast 80% fully vaccinated soon. Border opening depends on risk exposure. Pretty simple really

THIS.

I bought a haircut kit and now I cut my own hair. Fucked up the first time so I buzzed it to start over (Djongo saw me and laughed his ass off). But now I have it down pat and I look pretty good. I don’t think I will ever pay a barber again. More money for beer/weed.

"3rd wave"

"Delta Variant"

We won't see you Canucks until your populace finally sacks up and tells Justin to suck it.

I think once we reach 80% with both shots things will loosen up. Wont be long. Nova Scotia is even doing that for the rest of the country wanting to visit, for a few more days

if therewas an election tomorrow JT would be back in for 4 more, for now Justin is keeping the Americans from ourselves, has a single Canadian in this thread voiced the opinion that they want to let diseased Americans roam at will above the 49th ?

Good point. With the roll vax roll out JT is looking untouchable. We all want better things for indigenous and military and police reform and thats important but its not quite the priority as containing the rona. He's nailed it on that front at the same time as the conservative premiers shot themselves in the foot continually. They made it ez for him to look good

ok there's the ^^ one

i believe buddy is also antivax/ qanon so ... almost american anyway

Haaaa sorry pano, you wack bud. Good choice in bikes but it ends there.
Its pretty obvious the numbers stack up for covid and measures taken. So obvious in fact that it would parallel the yearly stats that prove global warming is in fact happening but we still have deniers there too. Not much i can say other than i hope you gain some proper insight in to it as well as why you believe crazy shit

The Trudeau government dropped the ball when it came to procuring vaccines. First they partnered with a Chinese drug manufacturer who it turned out was controlled by the CCP who quashed the deal. Then the JT government partnered with an Indian company that as it turns out, desperately needed the vaccines for its own population.

So with a limited supply of vaccines for Canadians a decision was made to focus on getting as many people vaccinated with the first shot and then instead of giving the 2nd shot after 4 weeks, it was give the second shot after 4 months. Currently with more vaccines now available that 4 months between shots is shrinking to 2 or 3 months.

80% of adult Canadians should be fully vaccinated by some time in Sept so that is when I expect the border to reopen. And then Trudeau will call an election. I already have my bright red ball cap: "Make Trudeau a Drama Teacher Again.

Haha, love it. Good to see you posting here old friend, hadn't seen much of you on here lately.

Overall, despite the early scrambling, as a country i think we're doing pretty well. Not oceanic well but we're not far behind.
Im no JT fanboi but the cons wouldve fkd it up with the open everything too soon and kick backs to their corporate sponsirs because thats the trickle down con playbook. I hope the minority liberal gov't continues on with the ndp keeping them honest. Now is not the time for right wing kooks. Its fkn 40c for the forseeable future

I agree ^^ Canada was behind the 8 ball for awhile but things have come on strong

In the end america had/has all the vaccines but till fucked up getting those shots in arms due to idiot leader/ the rugged individualism of the american people or who knows what the fuck ?

Not huge JT fan but he is anyone but the tool and he was any one but Sheer and anyone but Harper before that

I don't think the cons want an election right now either cuz they KNOW they would lose
