FOG BLOG FRIDAY RIDICULOG: TODAY- AMERICANS ALLOWED TO CROSS LAND BORDER BUT NO RECIPROCATION:

A STORY I JUST READ SAYS THAT PERMITTING CANADIANS TRAVELING OVER THE INTERNATIONAL LAND BORDER WITH INCREASING CASE COUNTS DUE TO THE VARIANTS POSES A GREAT RISK TO AMERICANS, REALLY??? OUR CASE COUNTS HAVE STEADIED FOR THE MOST PART BUT SOUTH OF THE BORDER THE DELTA VARIANT IN PARTICULAR IS SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE! YET AS OF MONDAY, AMERICANS WILL BE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL INTO CANADA FOR NON ESSENTIAL REASONS, LIKE TOURISM ETC. THIS IS REALLY NOT FAIR TO US. THERE SHOULD BE A PROVISION FOR NON ESSENTIAL TRAVEL TO THE U.S. IF YOU ARE FULLY VACCIANTED AND MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE WAITED TILL AUG. 21 FOR TRAVEL BOTH WAYS ACROSS THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER . ONE STORY HAS IT THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO GO SOUTH AS OF THE 21ST BUT ANOTHER WHICH I THINK IS MORE RELIABLE HAS THE BORDER CLOSURE IN PLACE TILL THE 21ST AND A WAIT AND SEE ATTITUDE WHETHER OR NOT THAT WILL CONTINUE TILL SEPT. 21ST. THE U.S. AND CANADA ARE FRIENDS AND ALLIES AND WE SHOULD BE WORKING TOGETHER. I THINK THAT PROVING YOU HAVE BOTH VACCIANTIONS FOR TRAVEL FROM THE U.S. OR TRAVEL INTO THE U.S. FROM CANADA MAY BE THE SOLUTION TO THIS. PERMITTING THEM BUT NOT US IS JUST GOING TO CAUSE FRICTION AND THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DISCUSSIONS BY THE POWERS THAT BE ABOUT THE BORDER OPENINGS THAN THERE OBVIOUSLY WAS!
