I hate to say it, but add 1,000 to the American's that have perished to date.
The phased re-opening plan decisions are localized in the US, not just state-by-state but county-by-county, where the testing & tracing & tracking "should" happen.
So applying that sort of science, won't different places along the border have different readiness, at different times, along with different re-closures based on flare-ups?
How would you monitor who comes from where and where they truly go once getting in to the country? Unless you mean opening limited to border town folk crossing to border towns in the other country. Here in Quebec we have several regions shut do to travel unless you live in the region full time due to low infection or no infection in some municipalities and limited medical infrastructure should a outbreak occur. Montreal has the highest count of infection in Quebec and folks from there can not come here to the Tremblant area, there are road blocks and check points to get through but we still get people sneaking through and there are high fines for those who get caught. It seems the honour system just doesn’t work for some. Until Quebec and I imagine all of Canada feels comfortable relaxing those limitations on it’s citizens, I don’t think limited border openings are on the table. Luckily at least for our sport we have some time on our side.

It looks like Canada is doing a fantastic job and I hope the case trend continues to go down quickly for them and every other country. Just to put it in perspective though keep in mind California has more people living there than all of Canada does.
Yes we are blessed with a lower population, and I guess if one were to do an infection or death per million, those figures might show a different view of how we are doing. The real thing I wished to point out was given the numbers on the US side versus here in Canada, it would be fool hardy to open the flood gates so to speak until levels die down.

From a Canadian point of view and as the state of this pandemic changes, I don’t see why rushing to opening the border to the general public is so important other than providing a false sense of normalcy. After all the commercial traffic is passing and has all through this. Most of the tourist attractions, festivals, Grand Prix, concerts, and the list goes on are cancelled in Canada and at the moment hotel and motels are closed. Further to this many parts of Quebec are off limits to people in other regions to limit the spread as some of the small communities have little to no cases. I live in one of those communities and can not travel far due to restrictions.
So, I have two questions for you guys since you are mostly Americans, what you all going to do up here if they open the borders up anytime soon? And looking at the covid 19 figures below of the US versus Canada would you be anxious if you we’re Canadian or a Canadian politician to open up too early?

Opening the Canadian border to non essential travel will be a decision made in Canada, not the US, and I do not think money is the issue here, people dying is the issue, thousands are walking off the job at US meat plants for fear of contracting this virus, nobody makes money with out a work force, this thing is a big disaster and nothing is going anywhere until people are healthy and safe, that is what I want for my employees and I will not ask them to do anything outside of that, I am on the floor with them all day.
Money means nothing if it is at the cost of people getting sick and dying. Stay safe.

I heard that it was a land owner who wasn't consulted before they put the road in and it is too close to her house. She had time now to move the dirt into the road as she is Sheltering in Place. Unfortunately 155 is now a wet land sanctuary for some endangered salamander. A reroute will be completed later this summer at a cost to local businesses of ten million dollars.

I think her cousin lives in Tremblant.

No free lunches. Funds have to come from taxpayers.
Glad the small businesses are being respected not just mega corps.
Guess we will come out the other side of this with the US promoting buy from and support US based business and Canada doing the same while trying to reduce the flow of money headed China’s way. Lots of talk about that on Face Book these days “buy Canadian” is the theme.

Hopefully the outfitters,lodges and relais that we stop at in the winter that also depend on summer tourism will be able to weather this storm. It could make getting rooms tough and carrying extra gas a must. Is the Canadian government stepping up to offer any monetary help to all the businesses?
As far as I know yes there will be compensation for all small businesses that have been forced to close or directly effected by the covid 19. At least that’s what Justin keeps saying.https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2020/03/27/prime-minister-announces-support-small-businesses-facing-impacts

Your a brave man leaving your canoe on the ground like that for the winter. Un be known to me my brother left my canoe on my front lawn in late fall and by the time I came up to snowmobile it was well covered and hidden by snow. We were driving sleds over it most of the winter with out knowing. Let’s just say it had a distinct see through bottom come spring.

That was a blunder by Legault. A try at giving some hopeful news for Easter Weekend.
It’s unrealistic. How can you say we need to maintain the social distancing yet then want to open schools?
To me it defeats everything that this lockdown is trying to accomplish.
Almost 2000 students and staff at my wife’s school. Imagine that. So if everyone stays 2 meters apart how is that supposed to work. Good Luck.
many parents will surely not send kids to school and many teachers will not go.
They basically want the schools to be babysitting for these students because at that point in the year after missing almost 2 months they are essentially doing just that.
Agree totally. I believe the virus would rip through schools faster than seniors homes and granted the seniors are for the most part more at risk of dying or serious sickness than kids but it’s the spread from kids to teachers and back to parents that would be devastating. My daughter works or should I say worked as an educator in a daycare, she and her kids who go to the same daycare were always coming down with what ever was going around. It would probably be impossible to keep kids practicing safe social distancing, heck we are seeing it is hard to teach some adults to do it.

All public events cancelled right now until August 31 in Quebec.
no music festivals, no sporting events, nothing zero nada.
Yes yet they hope to get schools up and running before May, I find they are being over optimistic.

I'll bet I can get a psychiatrist's note that I am indeed a hardy fool and that summertime Spydering PQ is absolutely essential.
You may very well get the note but getting border guards or the SQ to understand you may be a bit harder, a reasonable translation of fool hardy is imbécile.😁😁😁😁😁😁

Interesting question, spring is usually busy for me, it starts with getting a boat I keep in Ontario ready for spring launch and bringing it up river to Kingston, can’t do that, can’t really ride my bike, and no place to go with the cars so I’m working on the house, it’s been a work in progress for a few years when I find time, well now I have fewer distractions so I might just get caught up on that over the next few months. Only other plans are to work on a few of my small garden tractors and make my garden bigger.
