TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday the U.S. and Canada have agreed to keep their border closed to nonessential travel for another 30 days.
Canada’s numbers are lower. We have Bonnie Henry in charge and she gives a talk everyday. She was known for wearing different shoes, so there is now a shoe named after her.
So we’ll just contain the collateral damage in our country when Trump and his pet Red State Governors ‘defy the guidelines’ and open everything? Aren’t we nice?
I was calmly reading this article when I came across this sentence:
"Truck drivers are critical as they supply grocery stores and medical goods in both directions. "
Then I scrolled up - yep (AP).
I can just see their editorial meetings -
" See hear, Smith - this is a fine article about dentists- but when you mention the word “toothbrushes” you forgot to explain what they are - fix it. And this piece on the history of the wheel Jones, I read the entire thing, and although some fine work about the Egyptians, you neglected to say that wheels ‘go round’ - what am I paying you people for?"

I live in Canada and I am pretty sure Trudeau (who is very popular these days) would be in big trouble if he agreed to open the border. What goes on in the US is highly visible up here compared to our visibility down there. Lately Canadians are staring in disbelief at armed demonstrations by extremist loons to ‘open things up’ cheered on by Trump.
Yes. I work with a Canadian that has been ‘stuck’ in the US since the shutdown. He used to go home every weekend but he’s afraid he won’t get back in if he leaves. He is constantly sending us articles from ‘the other side’…we commiserate together since we are out here on the ‘Left Coast’.
