Tons of Americans with homes and cottages here in Canada having hissy fits because they’re not being allowed into the country right now as well.

Given their situation down there right now, with all due Canadian politeness.....**** ‘em.
Others are flying in like they own the place, what's your point? Screw the ones without connections and no other place to live?

In my opinion, the border should be an infinitely tall line. I don't care how you cross the line, the rules are the same. Any other policy basically favor the haves over the have nots. From a virus spreading perspective, haves and have nots are fundamentally different.
 
they are doing follow ups in NS, going to the persons residents,
I believe they have a 3 strike rule, they call them each day when in quarantine, if they miss 3 calls they get fined.

PEI didn't have any COVID until a US citizen brought it here for a visit. I can't find the link now.

Edit, found it:

That's even worse. To help them understand how exponential growth works, use it for the fines. First missed call is $50, second missed call is $2,500, third missed call is $6,250,000 (but we'll round down to a million if paid within 30 days). That will drive home how important it is. After the second missed call, they will be sleeping beside the phone with a generator running to make sure the battery never dies.

Got through to the airline. Because the skies are open no voucher / refund but they will 'suspend' the ticket and you can activate it for another time period next time...which to me is a voucher.

Now the issue is that my wife really wants to go, but with a quarantine in Canada that means 6 weeks off work...ugh. Honestly I'm kinda torn whether to go or not. Part of me wants to go, but a big part also would prefer to just stay home in case stuff goes sideways while we are away.
 
Florida :(


Trumpie got parents to discuss how to reopen school while relegating CDC to a seat at the back of the roof.


Pence is also an idiot.

"At a briefing this week by the White House coronavirus task force, Pence's message to those in states like Texas, Florida, California and Arizona where cases are rising, was simple: “We believe the takeaway from this for every American, particularly in those states that are impacted, is: Keep doing what you're doing.”

Not so, said Dr. Deborah Birx, the task force's response co-ordinator. She said those states should instead close bars, end indoor dining and limit gatherings “back down to our phase one recommendation, which was 10 or less.”"
 
Everything is fine. This will end any day now. Presidential harassment. Total exoneration. Crooked Hillary's emails. Fake news! No collusion. I have the best IQ.

Believe me.

Covfefe.
 
Burying your head in the sand doesn't stop the dead bodies from piling up.
If he was smart he'd go after places like NY for putting sick people back in old age homes.
Accuse them of doing it for political gain, and start a federal investigation.
 
CFL wants $42,500,000 from JT. Screw them and their rich owners. If they want to keep their toys, they can fund them.

 
I think an increasingly larger (by the day) segment of the US population are finally waking up. As unfortunate as it's been, this whole Coronavirus thing has been an albatros around Trumps neck that he's not going to be able to get rid of before the election. Reality is now inescapable.
 
I have to say watching what is happening Stateside is pretty depressing. I don't see any light at the end of their tunnel yet.

Until that gets under much better control and their numbers are down, we ought to keep the border closed
 
Ugh. Idiots. Idiots everywhere. We feel let down as Canadian citizens because we can't travel how we want, when we want, many thousands of km's through multiple countries during a raging pandemic?

It was pretty clear in the March april timeframe that things were going to be locked down. I know many people that altered their plans to get across before the lockdown happened. It looks like these people were more focused on their plan than reality.



The couple, who has been married for four years, bought a house in Cancun earlier this year and sold their home in Kawartha Lakes in March.

At the end of April, they came to Windsor with all their belongings to drive across the border.

Alex is Canadian, while Alejandra is a permanent resident and Mexican citizen.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, U.S. Customs and Border Protection refused them entry.

While Alejandra is a Mexican citizen and could go back, she can't drive there as she doesn't have a license. The couple also said that flying and shipping all their belongings would be too expensive.

"Right now I feel a little bit let down as a Canadian citizen," Alex said. "We consider Mexico the third North American country and we should have free access."

So they rent a cheap furnished apartment until they can sort things out. Problem solved. Aren't there bigger problems for CBC to cover?
 
If we had a proper quarantine process set up (eg. go straight to a hotel and stay in your room for 14 days, you pay the bill and are free to leave at that point), I wouldn't be hugely opposed to those people crossing but we don't. The ones that did make it across ruined any chance for the rest by behaving like entitled children and doing whatever they wanted with no regard to quarantine.

Now, I have no idea about healthcare implications of US citizens entering without insurance coverage. I would have no problem with Ontario putting a lien on their property to cover the bill as they made a choice, why should we get stuck with the bill?

I wonder if OHIP would be as cutthroat as some of the American hospitals? I don't mean over-billing for unnecessary tests but no free ride. I believe Cuba requires all visitors to have proof of health insurance, smart.
 
The other option that might work is a performance bond (say $250,000 per person). Gov't has the right to randomly check on you and inspect your premises during the 14 days. If, during that period you are not there or you have any visitors, you forfeit the bond and get escorted to the border. Enough would get caught to fund the program.

Add an administration fee of a couple of grand to cover staffing the checkpoints.

Swell. A buck and change from every man woman and child in Canada. At least in the USA the looters are out in the open breaking windows and putting on a street show. CFL is a Charity Football League.
