We now have two provinces side by side which are officially opening yet a border in between that remains closed and articles stating it could stay that way in intervals of 14 days. Where is the data to support that border crossing is a meaningful spreader of covid? Key word......meaningful. It's political.

[Oarin]

Agree. Remember all this at election time.

Just heard on the news tonight from the Quebec Premier that he been talking to the the Ontario Premier and the border might open in a few days, finger cross guys!!!!!

That headline states the border will be closed until until at least early July. Pretty well everyone 2 months ago would have been overjoyed with that headline. Infection numbers continue to plummet, we are below 500. Everything is looking good, especially now that we are starting to give the 2nd dose.

If you look at what Trudeau is saying...in that he wants 75% of our population to have one vaccine shot before he opens the border...First off, kids under 12 can't get vaccinated yet, Second, a certain percentage (wouldn't be surprised if it is as high as 10-15%), won't get vaccinated for one reason or another....Mr. Socks might never open the border again !! I could only find the population stats for age 0-14 from 2018, which in Canada was 16.1 %, so lets go with even 10% under 12....The way I see this is that a 75% vaccination rate of our population could be a LONG TIME coming or certainly not until kids under 12 can get it. But then, Mr. Socks was a Drama Teacher,,,not a Math Teacher. Would it not make sense that when you cross the border you show a vaccination card/certificate and you are good to go?? Guess here in Canada that would infringe on our Constitutional Rights ! I feel terrible for our American neighbors who come to Canada to fish, hunt etc. ie. spend money ! Hopefully sooner than later it will open...if Trudeau takes a Math course in the meantime.

This is the second year we've been shut out.  We were to be on Ogascanan 6/20, but with no opening last month we have to roll to next year.  Was told by Ginny that there isn't much they can do, and the border at Temiscaming is patrolled.

Very sad.  We are from Aiken, SC and Augusta, GA, and have been vaccinated for months.

More walleye for everyone else when things open up.  I feel very sorry for all those camps we have fished for the past 25 years or so.  My favorite week of the year has been taken away two years in a row, and not sure I've got another year left in what is left of this old bod, but the kids will be there next year!!!!

What-choo-talk’n ‘bout Willis!?! Take care of that bod and make it happen this Fall! A Sept trip perhaps? My dear old dad and his brother said they were done about 3 yrs ago…this year they have a Sept trip planned to the scene of a trip near Timmins from 1980. They are so excited. Doesn’t even matter if they wet a line. Checked out the “grounds” of the camp and it seems reasonable for both to navigate. American plan with meals and housekeeping. Dad says the thing he’s looking forward to most is hanging out at the dock to see what all the guests bring in, and the stories.
Patio dining open today in Ontario. What an encouraging site it was……
