Does anyone know of any grassroots petition that is circulating regarding support for the border re-opening?

It seems like both Democrats and Republicans along the Northern Border are all behind this issue, I’ve never seen a topic with so much unity from both sides get absolutely stonewalled by the Whitehouse.

Is this real? Aside from not making a lot of sense, this post belongs in belongs in Politics and Other Controversies.

Canada is a sovereign country that gets to decide when is an appropriate time to open its borders.

I thought Canada was already reopening its borders on August 9? Did I miss something?

If you’re talking about DHS travel restrictions, the US government cannot forbid US citizens from re-entering the US. It’s illegal. They may require or ask you to quarantine but they can’t stop you from returning to your own country.

Canada is opening their border to Americans on Aug 9, but the US will not follow for now. That means vaccinated Americans will be able to go to Canada but Canadians will not be able to drive to the US.

It's not the Canadians causing the issue here.

I'm surprised the US has kept the border closed longer than CA. Both are closed as far as I'm concerned because I'm unvaccinated. If people are so paranoid, I rather not even bother going to CA. Many Canadians hate US plates and vandalize cars.

Peace Arch state park is a nice place to meet with out crossing the border.
