Flipper- Ford is the Premier of Ontario and the border is Federal so you’ll have to look to Sparkle Socks (Trudeau) for an answer. Good luck getting answers from that guy.

I’ll see if I can find something for you. Like I said before judging by the way things are progressing here that border won’t be opening soon. Your trip is later than 2020’s trip though.

Any opening will be last minute and depend on covid cases.

Current agreement expires May 21. Trudeau is pushing for keeping it closed until June 21 and he’ll get it imo. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was extended again after that.

Sorry flipper I completely misunderstood your post but I’ll leave this up anyway.

Resorts up there are non essential. They are closed until June 2nd. They will look at it after that. The border is another thing.

Ok thanks, I just saw where no boats until October 31st or later. Thanks for your input.

Got a source on that Flipper?

I think he's referencing my post ?? I got an email today from Transport Canada saying no foreign boats would be allowed in Canadian waters until Oct 31st at the earliest.

TNFG is correct, they are supposed to re-evaluate the border situation on May 21st but it sounds like the closure will be extended...hopefully only until June 21st but who knows..

I work on the US- Canada Border. The Borders are not closed. It's open for essential travel. Tourism- fishing- hunting is not considered essential. Canada Customs will not let them in, I guarantee it.

Bummer. I was supposed to go fishing in Saskatchewan June 13-19. Looks like I should scrap my plans.

Man, loss of a season is going to kill those lodge operators.

Since you work on the border when do you think they will open it?

Tourism is Canada's number one industry outside of medical. 90 BILLION dollars a year goes across that border from the US to Canada. If Trudeau wasn't such a dipstick he'd be working at getting it open as soon as possible.

My season was to start mid June in Sask then work my way up to Great Bear. Valu of those groups alone was over 66k to the outfitters.
All cancelled at this point. I'm hoping my later groups will be let in.
This is going to clobber many operators on both sides of the border.

Marinas open tomorrow for all recreational uses.

One point here, when considering the provincial government, keep in mind that when they say that the emergency declaration is extended, it does not mean all current regulations will be in place until then.

For example, if the emergency declaration is extended until June 21, it does not mean all regulations that are in place now will be extended til June 21st.

It simply means the government is prolonging the period in which they can make changes without a long drawn out governmental process. We have been in a state of emergency for a while now and the regulations keep relaxing.


Federal is another story, and Trudeau has said that reopening the borders to anything but essential travel will not be happening soon.

That said, we have an american cottager who does business here selling rubber flooring to hospitals. She has a letter from her governor saying this, and the canadian government allowing her to cross. It is total horse crap because she is just coming to go to the cottage, but she is flying in by sea plane and respecting the 14 day quarantine so we ar enot worried. She is having her cottage stocked with food also.

And it had better open by march. I have booked three weeks in the Florida Keys again and am bringing a bigger boat this time. lol

^^^^ SAME HERE ^^
BC/YUKON at North River had this signed sealed and all flights and rooms ordered Feb 2020. for Sept.8th.
This cant happen ,i will lay down an die. my retirement hunt and this

All this border disruption just to keep BOCO
from violating the Sovereign Sanctity of The United States.

It's all worth it because we don't want that filthy animal
spreading his germs to Americans.

If you ever find him, lock him up so we can reopen the border !!!!

Hes already infiltrated you, buying every ar 15 he can I heard. And coughing on stuff.

Why does every thread go OK till walleyed comes on.

Tourism is a long, long, long, ways from Canada's number one industry (medical is even further away from number one) and tourism from the USA contributes less than 90 billion dollars a year to Canada. Total trade across border is more like 700 billion approximately. I am not saying tourism isn't important but let's get some facts straight here. When the border starts to open up, I suspect tourism will not be pushed to the forefront of the list of what is going to be permitted to cross.


Tourism is currently seen as non essential and won't be happening soon. It'll be pushed back to the 21st of June and it would not surprise me if it happens again then. I cannot even travel to our family cabin here in northern Sask and I live here so I wouldn't expect to live in another country yet being being permitted to travel in northern Sask for anything, anytime soon.

Want some Canadian cheese to go with that whine ?
