Border Closure to mid-2021

[limacharley]

@limacharley - groceries, leeches and beer are brought with me. Gas is paid by card at the pump. So the only contact is with a border official who can choose to touch my passport or view the information as I hold it up to them.

And you of course would leave your germs in the outfitters cabin, in his boat etc....

Chief Warrant Officer in the Army eh??? How did you rise to that rank if you didn't follow orders??

All, I love the discussion and I simply just want to remind all to lets keep it at the respectful level - Nancy for years, and recently with a little of my help (and others on the admin team) have promoted a Kipawa fishing-focused forum.

As a high risk person myself, and I have both my parents now in a cancer battle, it is about being risk-averse and that means we are taking every precaution in my family - do I still see friends and fish... sure do, but it really is easy to do it outside, wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart and wash/sanitize hands frequently.

Agree'd, this is one forum of 5 or so "Motorcycles,cooking,baking, pizza & fishing" I occasionally participate in and this is the friendliest group of any by far!

This is a hot button issue and should not create friction between us here and/or between our two countries. Its a world wide problem exasperated by population densities as well as governmental controls/freedoms. We all need to do what we can, I'm doing my part while the caretaker for my 80 YO dad in poor health. The media here wants all of us to look like buffoons..... We aren't. If you look at the death rates per 100k population, there's a laundry list of countries in the same if not worse position than the US, CNN doesn't want you to know that.


Country   Pop     Deaths      Deaths per 100k     Pop density per Sq Mile

Peru           32m      26k                  80.2                            65
UK           67m      47k                  70.2                           725
Spain        47m       29k                  60.9                           240
Italy           60m      35k                  58.0                           518
Usa         328m     167k                  50.6                            87
Brazil      209m     105k                  50.5                            64
Canada   37.5m      9k                   24.1                            10

I can't wait for the day that this is no longer a massive problem and I can come visit my Canadian friends!

Well...that's that. I have nothing further to comment as I'm certain the profanity-laced diatribe I'd go into wouldn't last 20-seconds on this (or any) Discussion Board.

It's a good thing I'm not President...

I promise Mr. Rhybak...I'm holding back with all the being in my soul. I've learned that with this one there is no winning. We're all losers when it comes to this BS.

All I know is that I want to go to Kipawa and I can't....and that's just not good.

It's a short swim from
Port Huron to Sarnia

I'll pick you up in Sarnia on September 3

[T-Bone]

I told Mattie that if they open the border in October or November we're taking a road trip. Yeah...won't likely find a fishing opportunity, but we're coming up.

And Rhybak...I appreciate the offer. I may just ship myself up there on a load we have going to our Mississauga office....shorter pick-up trip for you...

Indeed. And yes Hodgey...we may need your truck tho to bring back that much beer. 

Rhybak (or anyone else that has info)....what about Bay of Quinte fishing for 'eyes in late-Autumn? Has always been on my list of things to do in Canada.

@T-Bone Currently there is no verifiable evidence that once you get it, you can get it again in 4-5 months. If you have something on that I would be interested to read it.

Heard or read that several weeks ago...not sure of source and really don't believe almost any news source to tell the straight-truth these days anyway. All I could see with a quick look today was they (whoever that is) said it was 'unlikely' you could get it twice...but then again...they just don't know yet. I can tell you one thing...I'm not going to throw myself into a pool of Covidiots to become a data point they can reference to solve an unknown.

@T-Bone I don't really trust any news source myself either. These were the two articles I found on it. One is from the Mayo Clinic so I would actually trust them:

The outfitters have a plan in place for cleaning the cabins. It's obviously working if they have Canadian customers. And I have my own boat, so no worries there.

As for following orders, you obviously don't know what Warrant Officers are then.

But at no point in this discussion did I ever say I don't social distance or wear a mask when needed. I just said I don't live in fear or stay in my house the whole time.
I started the post as a simple discussion about the possibility of the border being closed into 2021 and how it would affect both sides of the border. I was not the one that started accusations or name-calling.

@Hodgey1 like the stats, the US media definitely never shows things like that.
