Not yet. I think this extension with be the last one. You keep thinking it's a one way decision on the border. Both sides have to come to an agreement. I honestly think it's that they want a system that's the same to enter both countries. IMO they should just say you require proof of vaccination to enter. Let the US do what they want.
The US wants to open and dear leader wants it CLOSED. So the restriction is actually one way.
If the US does not issue or does not want to issue "passports" or verification, there is absolutely nothing Trudeau can do about it. So the answer is to restrict Canadians from going to the US?
The demand of reaching 75% of the general population is unlikely because it's 86.4% of 12+. We are already slowing down a lot of first doses and it will get worse. Highly unlikely to get there.
Or isTrudeau going to demand the US reach a level of vaccinations before he opens the border? Good luck with that.
The virus isn't going away for years to come...and I'm more then a little concerned that politicians really like the face time and control. The pandemic gave them immense and unprecedented power....and they like it. This border issue smells of that.
