U.S. President Donald Trump‘s desire to gradually reopen the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic makes it all the more important for Canada and the U.S.
to stay on the same page about borders, according to experts. “Canada is going to have to be tougher with the border than the U.S.
is willing to be,” said Matthew Lebo, the chair of political science at Western University. “As the U.S. loosens up, if there are outbreaks near Canadian borders, then Canada has got to be careful about the traffic it lets go back and forth, whether that be health-care workers in Windsor or Niagara Falls that go back and forth, or otherwise.” The new approach out of the neighbouring country is significantly different from where Canada stands now.
