twinkboylover28 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) 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.

More than 700 strippers since 2006?. Damn that's a lot. You could be walking in Montreal without even knowing that you passed by an exstripper from Stockbar.

That's one of the fun things about sitting street side on St. Catherine in the summer... watching the parade of current and ex-strippers from Campus, Stock etc... porn stars too. As Quebec opens up I'm hoping to resume that pleasant practice this summer. cany10011 and Penn7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will check in tomorrow to see the latest being posted tonight. The recent one shows a very quiet street scene in broad daylight and the place seems devoid of colours I am used to seeing, having lived there from 1997 to 2010. I was also a frequent visitor up until COVID struck so it looks rather desolate, I have to say. twinkboylover28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinkboylover28 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 One of the Canadian radio stations I listen to from Windsor says it looks like June 22nd might be the day the Windsor/Detroit border re-opens. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really be surprised if the border were to re-open to tourist travel this month. I'm still predicting sometime in the July to September timeframe.

The initial loosening of rules is for fully vaccinated Canadians that travel abroad. They no longer need to quarantine for 14 days upon returning to Canada. As far as opening the US/Canada border to tourists/business visitors going in either direction, nothing meaningful will happen until July or afterward IMHO. We will probably know more on the timing within 7-10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. twinkboylover28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame Canada for wanting to be cautious. Relative to the US, it handled the COVID situation much better during 2020. With the exception of amping up the development of vaccines, the US management of the pandemic was awful in 2020. Thankfully the person largely responsible for that is no longer in office. I have maintained for months that the re-opening will occur in the July - September timeframe. Do you feel that is too optimistic? marylander1940 and Penn7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel that is too optimistic? 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. EZEtoGRU, twinkboylover28 and marylander1940 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been nice for Canadians to have the opportunity to be fully vaccinated back in April like most Americans.
