In either case, the person coming into Canada (whether they are family or not) must self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival - unlike those Bozo's stopping in Banff on their (supposed) way to Alaska. The locals in Banff should show them, up close, where the grizzly bears live.
I would not be surprised to see the border stay closed to non-essential crossings until year end or at some time when infections start dropping in the USA. BTW, Canada has been at less then 400 new cases/day for the past number of days and restrictions still remain in effect in most locales. In our area, restaurants can only have outdoor patios with 2 meters separation or takeout. No indoor service.
+100. It would be nice to see repercussions for those that intentionally break the rules.
I’m worried the border will stay closed for the year. I have a ski trip booked for New Year’s. We did this last year and had a blast. This year would be even better, since our group has grown.
I might need to figure out a plan b in case Canada stays closed. Other than saying I’m going to Alaska.
