TORONTO -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford is firing back at United States President Donald Trump after he indicated there could soon be loosened restrictions at the border. "Trudeau should say no right away," Ford said Thursday. "Until we have this under containment, we need to have our borders closed."
On Wednesday, Trump told Americans that Canada is doing well in the fight against COVID-19 and that it will be one of the early borders to be released.
Ontario shares a border with Minnesota, Michigan and New York, which is the hardest hit area in the country. As of Thursday afternoon, there are 629,264 cases of COVID-19 in the United States, including 26,708 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
The borders between the two countries have been closed for nearly a month to non-essential travellers. "We should have shut down the borders a lot sooner and put better screening at our airports," Ford said. "The answer is absolutely not. I don't want them (Americans) in Ontario."
Reported cases are growing again in Canada, mainly driven by Quebec with a big spike yet Alberta is also going up again. Ontario positive growth as well but not as much, not beating its previous reported record yet. British Columbia continues to go down contrary to the expected uptick after Easter. If BC keeps this up they might soon be able to start opening business again. I haven't been looking at Nova Scotia, yet for cases per million they're not far off from Ontario, as well as Newfoundland and Labrador. Only 252 cases, but also 1/30th of the population of Ontario. Big difference between East and West.
The West coast looks to be going back to normal life before the East coast. East west travel will still have to be discouraged.
