The Real Reason The Canadian Border Is Locked Down

Post by TC Shuts Up » Fri Jun 04, 2021 5:10 am

Turkeytop has made me realize that the real reason the Canadian border continues to be locked down is to prevent immigration to Canada, not COVID. They don't want people coming from Central America and other places coming to Canada. They want them to stay in the US. They not only don't like Americans, they don't want other people coming into the US and then going there. On the other hand, at least they understand what the purpose of a border is, and don't want open borders like Biden has been forced to agree to on the Mexican border.

You can get miffed at me if you want. If that's the reason, good for them.
I do feel bad about conditions in other parts of the world. Mass genocide here. Persecution there. Fleeing refugees.
All that stuff. I'm sorry people have to live and die thru that sort of thing.

But at what point do you save the world and neglect your own backyard?
In this day and age, should the good ol' USA continue to be Policeman and Savior of the World?
Even to the point of jacking up our deficit even more?

The Canada/US border is shut down in both directions, by mutual agreement of both of our nations.

It will reopen, probably later this year, as vaccination levels increase in both countries.

This is not true on our side. There is bipartisan desire on the American side to reopen the border.

There is a bipartisan desire on the Canadian side ro reopen as well. But it is still the official policy of both countries to keep it closed for now.

I saw Chuck Schumer on TV one night, yammering away, demanding that it be reopened. I guess your government doesn't listen to old Chuck.

Hold on TwinkleToes.
You're going to have to back this up with some sort of link or something. I myself haven't seen any US policy saying border flow shouldn't resume to pre-pandemic ebb and flow.

If I tried tomorrow to cross the border into the US, I would be stopped. And it wouldn't be Canadian authorities stopping me. It would be the US Customs and Border Protection. And those guys aren't there to enforce Canadian laws.

Have not been to the Windsor Tunnel since the last week of April 2013. Have not been to Sarnia since the last week of June of 2007 & then I took a ferry boat from Sombra, ON to Marine City, MI. Finally, I have not been to Sault Ste. Marie, ON since October 15, 2017 when I saw Canadian singer Serena Ryder performing at Sault Community Centre & an almost sold out show!! Never been to the bridge between Detroit & Windsor though!!

The Harris Administration has “closed our Southern Border” for another month.

Lol. It cracks me up every month when I read about the extensions.

Canada opened its border to US travelers two weeks ago. However the US has not yet reciprocated.

Our president doesn't even know what a lemonade stand is. He calls it a "pony faced, hair smellin' stand."

The decision on border opening is up to DHS. Unlike your former President, Biden doesn't interfere in the day to day operations of his departments.
