We have family in New brunswick but don't see them at the moment, try parking your car in Atlantic Canada with Ontario plates.

Yes, but you are not dealing with the Canada Quarantine Act but Provincial ones I believe.

I may not like Donald Trump and I don't agree with how he conducts his affairs, but he did get one thing right. He said, "The media is the enemy of the people" and I do agree with that. Sensationalism sells stories, not the factional ones.

Do you think people will pay those fines, or just say, I will not be going back to Canada? So, what is the point of targeting Americans, and reporting it.

The Canada US border land border has been closed to non essential traffic for months now with few exceptions such as visiting family in Canada but only after doing a 14 day quarantine on arrival in Canada. Canadians returning home from abroad and visitors from overseas are subject to the same rules too. So, no it is not targeting just Americans.

Our tourism is down drastically from the US and the rest of the world too. It is the price you have to pay not to have the Covid 19 infection and death rates the US now has. If you don't pay the fine you may not be able to return to Canada in the future anyway.

My sense from the reporting is that the big fines or nasty warnings have only been applied to folks who repeatedly disobeyed the self isolation requirement or lied to Canadian border officers about passing through BC on their way to Alaska. Those are folks who I'd prefer not come back north of the order.

At the risk of stiring up some real trouble for myself.

I live in SW Ontario just 30 minutes from Detroit.

I for one am relieved that Mr Trumps 170,000 covid deaths + 2.3 million covid cases are being kept out of Ontario.

Mr Trump's? Lol. This is a pandemic. 180 plus nation's.

All the recent polls I have seen on reopening the border to non essential traffic indicate the vast majority of Canadians, myself included, want it to remain closed. Likely until such time as there is better control of the pandemic globally and specifically in the US.

Yes, this is a pandemic and some countries are coping better than others. Seems the US is not coping that well and it occurred on Mr. Trumps watch so he should get the credit for the efforts taken to contain it.

The silent majority (not the media controlled by the left) thinks he has done a great job. Staying closed is worse in my and many other opinions. Time will tell. But I have a feeling that after the November election things will be much better regarding covid. The type of lockdown some people think we need is unconstitutional imo. But if your scared and feel like the sky is falling then stay inside! But let the rest of us go out. The waters fine! Jump right in.

Well Bob, you could always build a wall eh?
