Fully vaccinated Americans could be allowed to visit Canada from mid August:

Trump derangement syndrome much?
You're the one who brought the topic up in the first place, then get triggered when your silly nonsense gets destroyed on the board.
And thank you for gracing us once again with the presence of the EZ crystal ball. It's more entertaining than online casinos or Nancy Pelosi strolling through China Town at the beginning of the pandemic. 
Given the Delta variant, the border reopening is anyone's guess.

Thank God for President Trump's Operation Warp Speed and the early vaccine rollout in the USA.

I have maintained for several years now that, longer term, Montreal can only sustain two male strip clubs for gay clientele.  With four clubs, the business and the dancers are too dispersed.  The old Adonis  (now Expose) has closed and re-opened under new ownership and name at least three times in the last 5-6 years.  I don't know why new owners keep coming in to try and revive it.  
On your various visits, did one of the clubs seem busier than the others?   I only have a feeling for what is going on at Stock via the live cam.  Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday seem relatively busy (albeit not packed by any stretch) and Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday seem very quiet.  The lack of any foreign tourists allowed into Canada has to be hurting the bar business big time...especially during the summer.

Current border restrictions extended until July 21.  I'm still hoping for some loosening on the rules for US passport holders getting into Canada.  Maybe late July/early August.

Canada didn’t have the relevant pharma companies within their borders, so they had to wait for vaccine supply, like a lot of countries. I’d have liked to see us helping them out. 

Breaking:
The province is seriously considering the vaccine certification route for bars, clubs, restaurants etc, but likely not before September 1st. It may depend on case incidence rising again as well as evidence that cases are predominantly among the unvaccinated. I think that there would be provisions worked out for natural immunity based on infection and recovery, both that category and other reasons for vaccination exemption documented by one’s physician. 

Actually,  what you can thank Trump for is a completely botched response to the COVID crisis in the early months of the pandemic.  Entirely mishandled in all respects which has resulted in the US having many of the the worst COVID statistics in the world.  Trump has the blood of hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths on his hands.  You can also thank Trump for a large chunk of his followers refusing to get vaccinated.  Many of them still believe that COVID is a complete hoax (just as Trump claimed many times in early 2020).  Trump owns all of that and always will.
As far as the vaccine goes, I largely thank the scientific/pharmaceutical communities.  
I still believe Canada will ultimately get a higher percentage of its population vaccinated than the US.  Just to get somewhat back on topic,  I will add that I hope the border will open to vaccinated tourists sometime before the End of September.  Maybe later this month or early in August...but that might be wishful thinking.

Yawn.  Zzzzzzzzzzz

Huh?  

'God' has nothing to do with it.

Apart from notions of who wants and who does not want either side entering, and reasons for vaccine uptake acceleration differences, the data as far as net full vaccination to date support this view.

The nation-specific differential is about 48% vs 40%, but Quebec at 35% is way behind about 20 states that have reached a range of 50-75%. But now it’s more about individual willingness than supply or infrastructure capacity. 

Thanks Deadlift1

Well I’ve meandered through The Village a few times over the past 3 weeks and the showing in terms of the stage and, more importantly IMO, selection scene is quite poor.
Using the early 2000s as a peak (ie, 10/10) benchmark I can now be no more charitable than a 2/10 net rating. The effort of 4 establishments open at once on certain nights … Campus, Stock, Expose, Taboo seems simply unsustainable.
I am not prepared to camp out for full evenings and every night in the hopes of ‘coming’ (pun intended) upon what these days would amount to a unicorn. If you are accustomed to the heyday standard, save your airfare. Perhaps it will improve a bit if and when visiting Americans add to clientele volume. 

As soon as (vaccinated) Americans can fly in-and-out of Montreal Trudeau International airport without the current quarantine and testing restrictions it will be a game changer.

Just another affirmation that Montreal is one of the world's most gorgeous cities.

As I have observed for some time now, the Canadian authorities are taking baby steps and being super cautious about reopening borders. They are mindful that to date Canada has had one third the number of Covid cases and deaths per capita that the US has experienced. With elections coming up soon in Ontario and at the federal level, they don't want to screw it up now.

The critical metric will be when the majority of adults are double vaccinated. This is now projected by September so by then I think tourists will be allowed into the country.
I and my cohort of 70 plus are just now receiving our second doses, mine in two weeks. That means mid July before I am enjoying the full effects of the vaccine. The summer will be almost half over before I can really start to going about more freely. 
It's very a long haul, especially watching Americans loosening up much earlier.

Canada eyeing June 22 to begin loosening restrictions at U.S. border

Stock Bar has posted on its Instagram account that it will reopen on June 15:
