I think it is ironic that they are ok with letting goods travel in and out of the border but no one can travel there to do any business or work. It is true protectionism or nationalism hidden by a virus. LLL

At least we know what some of you , think of Canadians. As far as the border being closed to unnecessary traffic. Until the infection rate gets down, I have no problem, with it. We are approaching 60% of folks with injections now , our active cases are away down. Doing something right, I would say. I live in the country. Do about what I always did, Don't really want to meet a lot of people anyway. Just be patient , those wanting fishing and hunting trips, the bulls will bigger in another year. The fish will still be biting. In the mean time support , your own outfitters. Have a nice day. old345

People are on welfare bc of the hobby of fur trapping?

Maybe the lack of copper in the money is responsible for its huge gain on the US dollar recently?

JP is correct, kids are not starving bc the border is closed. It sucks for outfitters and tourism but it’ll end soon.

The boarder has been closed since March of 2020 and cases are starting to rise in parts of Canada. Doesn’t sound like closing my the boarder helped anything to me. JMO.

We have unvaccinated people pouring over our southern boarder and numbers (reported) are falling. None of it makes any sense.

I never read where anyone lumped all you Canadians into one group. Like some Americans , there are those who do not care about the good of everyone. If you actually have 60% vaccinated you are needing to be opening up. Your government is lying to you just like ours is. Waiting for zero percent transmission will keep you locked down forever because it is here to stay. LLL

They seem to add on another month to the deadline just before the 21st I have stink going North that I cannot get to my buyer but it’s piling up so it will get there eventually.

In Iowa, 1,547,479 people or 49% of the state has received at least one dose.

Overall, 1,373,422 people or 43% of Iowa's population has been fully vaccinated.

We are at 2% for the 7 day average and 2% for the 14 day average. Lots of rural communities here also.

We had 1 death this last seven days here in the state of covid complications. LLL

The infection rate has dropped 70% this week from past weeks let’s hope we are getting a grip on this BS.

Yeah BOCO,

So don't try and sneak into the United States
by boat, you filthy animal !!!!

End soon?? How do you know that? Yukon is over 80% vaccinated now and they just renewed the emergency measures for another 3-months. Its total insanity, and thankfully even some of the dullest are finally starting to see it. Our CMO said yesterday that the mask mandate just might be permanent ! Not kidding. They have no intention of giving up the power they now know they have. Many of us have been saying this for months now, but the sheep just said it was another conspiracy theory. The only way it ends is when Canadians stop complying and push back hard.

It never ceases to amaze me how stunned some people are. The cruise ships were only asking Canada if they could dock in a BC port. They were not even going to allow anyone off the boat so zero chances of transmission. They just needed it for legal reasons. Canada refused so the US changed the law, and now its unlikely those cruise lines will ever stop in BC again. The icing on the cake is this. Not a month ago Alaska offered Yukon and BC thousands of doses of the vaccine. They were willing to go over the top to help Canadians. BC and Yukon didnt take them up on it from reports I heard. That raises questions all by itself. Were they to proud to accept vaccines from the US because it just highlights what a terrible job Canada has done ? Thats my guess. Obviously they dont put Canadians before their own egos.

As for kids going hungry because their parents business has gone broke, maybe thats a bit of an exaggeration, but their lives will never be the same again. College funds are gone. Mom and dads have lost their homes, cars, and worst of all their dignity. I know a lot of these people and what the Canadian government has done is criminal, and communist. I talked to a lady the other day who owns a feed store. She is originally from Oregon. She was telling me that some of her customers get mad when she tells them they are seeing their country go communist right before their eyes. She said when they get mad I just remind them of everything that is happening and ask them if thats not communism what is. She is dead on the money too, its just amazing so many cant see it.

North Korea is communism. It’s amazing that some people think rules are the same thing. Saskatchewan begins it’s open up phase today, but it’s been pretty open realistically. Mask mandate end in sight too here within a month and change. Yukon seems strange in their approach.

I stand by my prediction that it’ll be over soon. As I said , it has sucked for the tourism industry and that’s very unfortunate, I wish them the best. I also encourage Americans to spend some $ on fishing/hunting etc in their own country, to help their local economies, the same goes for Canadians.

I remember when we were going to shut down for two weeks to “flatten the curve.”

It always sucks when the governments pick winners and losers;for the losers. I'd like to thank Canada for sending their American hunting and fishing clients here. I need them, since America has banned my international customers.

If it saved one life, it was worth it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it did?

We recently got news from our Canadian fishing camp in Ontario, that our trip has been pushed back again. This time until next year. In talking with the owners of the camp, they say they are having a hard time making it. The income they have had is from locals renting some of the cabins. I feel sorry for the couple that owns this camp. They are a younger couple who bought this camp about 5 years ago, so without the steady income (US tourist $$$), their high mortgage has really taken a toll on them.

Bingo

Communism always starts with "rules". These rules eventually become laws. Its a gradual thing, and we are on our way. I hope you are right, but Im afraid it wont be soon enough. The hunting and fishing business has a short window of time each year to make money. We have already canceled the season. Hunting outfitters will be forced to do the same soon. In our personal business this is a loss of over 500 k. Thats money we will never get back. Ever. Im certain that "soon" has a different meaning for me than it does for you. Please keep in mind this loss doesnt just effect the outfitters. It also effects airlines, air charter companies, grocery stores, hotels, gas stations, and on and on. In small northern communities outfitting is more important than most people realize.In a lot of cases there simply are no other industries. This mess has devastated many of these communities.

This is where were heading...

PPP?

Canadians are our friends, however their government is as bad as that of the United States. Keeping the border closed is causing tremendous economic damage. Foreign buyers can not enter the country. American hunters and fishermen are not allowed to enter the country, what does that do to owners of those sporting camps? Americans that own property in Canada can't use what they own. This has to greatly adversely affect native peoples. Our governments, on both sides, need to pull their heads out of their butts, as well as those that elected them!

It seems most Canadians just don't have the fire in their bellies. I guess that explains why they still have the queen on their $. Covid is not deadly enough to warrant all the wussy rules. First time in world history the healthy population has been quarantined instead of the sick. By this time last year we knew who the vulnerable were yet they keep their knees on the necks and some say "give me more"! We'll keep you safe. Ha what a joke.
