As you must know, Quebec has just recently opened up it’s Ontario/ Quebec borders and lifted the regional road blocks Dispute having bigger infection numbers than your Provence. If things ballon out of control they will most likely shut them down again. I certainly hope for the sake of all of us on here we do get things under control in both the US and Canada to the point we are all free to enjoy our sport in Quebec next winter, but if we don’t and we get a second wave worse than the first, well don’t count on Quebec trails being open for anyone. 1 PLAYHARD reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smclelan 850 Report post Posted May 16 It is scary when you think about it. Many of the places we stop for gas, food, and lodgings are supported to a large part by out of province tourists. Think about the Outfitters we depend on in the winter, they are missing spring bear hunts, fishing, possibly fall hunts etc. I am nervous many of these businesses that depend on our American and out of province clients to support them the other three months they will suffer financially. It is going to take years to recover from this. 2 zeusand and quebec bob reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quebec bob 614 Report post Posted May 16 The payroll company we use for checks, and taxes, is going totally paperless, all electronic during this shut down, when it is over a few of their employees will not be going back to work. Many more working restaurants, hotels and other service industry jobs will also not have a job.AT Max BMW, one of the largest BMW Motorcycle dealers in America, one of the salesmen told me that their sales are down 70%. Even if the border opens, so many have been crushed by this that there will be a lot less people making the trip North. I was very worried about the impact out on the trail in March, now I think the fall out is worse than any us of thought 3 months ago. I am hoping this turns around soon, if it goes on into the fall....we are going to loose places along the trail, making it difficult to get food ,fuel and gas, not to mention the effect on grooming, we are facing a real shit storm here!! 3 GSX800, zeusand and 800steve reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
