Sure they are.  Where the hell do you expect most of them to do that?

I expect that they'll stay home.  The border needs to remain open for trade.  We can't really do much about the border because of marmalade Mussolini.  The only way to get the border closed without US backlash (we need a food supply) is to convince him that it's his idea.

Bull. If you don’t have a good reason to be here, you don’t get to cross. The US depends on trade as much as us and Trump is going to have much more on his mind than little old Canada. The US is expected to go down like Italy, time to stop **** around.

Ya i agree  with this.  You can't stop trade, but you can try to stop pleasure travel.

Got that right, I live 5K from a border crossing with a state that has over 900 cases and 48 deaths.

Do we really think a bunch of Americans are on their way up here for pleasure right now? 

Trump doesn't like to be insulted.  He's convinced he's doing a great job.  At this time of year, our food supply needs to come from south.  There are few options.

 If they don’t need to be here, turn them around. Why the hell should I have to self isolate when a resident of a state with almost three times as many cases as Canada can enter and do anything they want? **** Trump, this is Canada. Do you really think they are going to cut off our food supply? What a wimp you are.

I think that Trump is unpredictable.

Trump is not King yet and he is no reason to let this country become crushed by a pandemic. Maybe it’s is not a pressing issue in Waterhen but I assure you it is in the rest of the world.

We could also turn off the power and taps and make a good portion of the US cold and dark.

You are also right in that most people will just choose not to travel to Canada. But what if they don't?  There's enough dumb Americans out there.

We can let in trucks through the border but not a Honda Civic.  This whole travel ban policy is weak a$$ anyways.  The damage is already done.

The travel ban is useless....as are all travel bans.

It has two purposes.  One is to placate people who think that travel bans aren't useless.  The other, is to streamline the flow of people entering the country, meaning they spend less time waiting for the CBSA to screen them, meaning they have a lower chance of infection in the airport.

The reality is, there is only one really effective tool, and that's social distancing.

 US food exports to Canada are worth 24B US a year. We are their largest export market. Do you think they would just throw that away out of spite? What a bunch of chickenshits.
