Staying open longer in fall

[mms3rd]

Before falling in love with Canada, we did all of our fishing in northern MN and went at the end of May before MN schools let out....same thing in fall when kids go back to school. Often spring/fall specials and a lot less pressure. I don't need any specials now, just a lake.

I raise this only for those groups who travel with kids and whether a late trip is feasible. Even if schools aren't open, I assume there will be book learning to do----just stay in a place with reliable wi-fi?

Its a pipe dream to think the border will open to tourism in the short term. Up here we generally
pay attention to scientists and in my home province theres been no new cases for 5 straight days.
We look at the state of affairs south of the border and shake our heads in disbelief. And, you guys
are opening up???? And you guys wanna come up here????
The average Canadian does not want to see a cascade of Americans crossing into the country until
there is accurate real time testing of every person crossing.
Weve given up so much over the last couple of months doing things right that until you get your act together we wont risk border openings. The consequences of opening the border too early are too dire to support the risk.

Americans come to Canada late spring thru early fall for fishing and hunting.

Canadians come to the US late fall they early spring to warm weather areas.

75% of Canadian exports come to the US.

Conclusion- our relationship is not one sided- both countries benefit by respecting each other's differences. Labels like “you guys�....doesn't help.

Our respective governments need to cooperate on the reopening. If we can't do that then the paradigm of
Our relationship will change for the worse.

This American agrees. We can fish and if need be hunt in the states this year. It's fish vs lives we are talking about after all.

All true. We are talking about a few months of sacrifice. For some business's that might be too much, but the risk needs to be minimized. As a business owner I need to feel confident that the health of my guests, and my community are not compromised. Hopefully something will be in place to help struggling business's.

Well said Fsz- terrific respect and tolerance on your part to a powder keg post.

If by a powder keg post the use of "you guys" was inappropriate I suggest the revision "you guys and gals"....not that's much more polite and what I would expect from a fellow Canadian.

By the way, how the border is opened should be a collaborative endeavor. The decision to open the border is solely the decision of a sovereign nation.

These are not supposed to be "political" posts I thought. I don't care if "it's you guys, girls and rabbits," I have no control over what the "leaders" of this country do....no one appointed me to make any decisions....sadly.

That said, I already indicated that I would keep Americans out for the foreseeable future....but not because of what "this guy" did.

As usual you cherry pick to make a weak point. The entire context of the post is negative, highlighted by “..until you get your act together...”
