Most Canadians want the US border to stay closed longer during the pandemic
With restrictions on travel between Canada and the U.S. set to expire on June 21, a new survey showed that many Canadians would prefer if the border stayed shut for longer. According to a study by Angus Reid Institute, a majority of Canadians are against the reopening of the border with the USA as scheduled. About 42% said they would prefer if the border reopening was pushed back to September, while about 26% said the restriction should only be lifted next year. Only 14% of people were comfortable with the current June deadline. Surprisingly, even those Canadians who used to travel to the United States frequently before the COVID-19 crisis do not favour fast reopening. About 84% of Canadians who live close to the border said they’d avoid trips over even when the restriction was lifted.
