There are a lot of upsides to the downsides of the total collapse of society from fear of the flu.
One of the upsides is that globalism is literally impossible in an age of flu hysteria. It just isn’t an option.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his country’s border with the US would not fully reopen for at least several weeks.
The border — the world’s longest international frontier at 5,500 miles — was shut to all non-essential travelers on both sides on March 21 in response to the coronavirus crisis, though cross-border trade continued.
“We are having ongoing discussions on border issues, on supply chains with the United States all the time,” Trudeau told reporters at a briefing Thursday, Agence France-Presse reported.
But “the reality is that it will still be many weeks” before “we can talk about relaxing the restrictions on our borders,” he said.
We “must protect our citizens, as every country does,” Trudeau added. “Most countries in the world have restricted travel, and Canada and the United States are no exception.”
Trudeau’s deputy and point person on US relations, Chrystia Freeland, added that Ottawa will only ease border restrictions “when it is not a risk to the health and safety of Canadians.”
That’s good.
We have enough Canadians here.
They’re bringing crime, they’re bringing drugs, they’re rapists.
