    You guys in Point Roberts seriously need a water taxi service that can take you across Boundary Bay to Blaine, bypassing the need to cross the border altogether until it re-opens.

    Supposedly there have been some enterprising folks who have done just that with their private boats, but nothing official. There has been talk of establishing a ferry to Blaine.

    Literally no one is asking for a wall on the Canadian border lmao because Canada isn’t sending billions of dollars of drugs and human sex trafficking children by the thousands every year.

    You already can visit Pt Rob. As a CDN, you can enter Canada. Then self-isolate for 2 weeks. Then go to Pt Rob with your US passport.

John has heard back from the U.S. side saying, 'We are taking this seriously and doing what we can, but nothing so far back from Canada.' " Can somebody explain what exactly happened and why it is considered to be "progress"? If somebody says, "We're taking this seriously", is that enough to earn the label "progress"?

    The border closure is ridiculous. I've been trying to visit my 90 year old mother in Hamilton since March. Seriously, if masks and frequent hand washing works, then we should all be able to do that and keep the border open.
