Rep. Higgins still pushing for Biden administration to open Canadian border

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. -- The temporary border closure between the United States and Canada in March 2020 has become somewhat indefinite.

While Canada partially lifted restrictions for vaccinated Americans in August, it's been nearly 19 months since so-called non-essential Canadian travelers have been able to cross the bridges in places like Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

"All of the science points to the same conclusion," U.S. Rep. Brian Higgins said. "Open the U.S. border to our Canadian friends and citizens."

It was déjà vu Friday for Higgins who, like many times before, called a press conference to urge the Biden administration to open up. Last week, he spoke with the administration's COVID-19 response coordinator.

"I told him how ridiculous this is and their lack of an explanation is indicative of no logical reason why the U.S. border remains closed to our Canadian citizens," Higgins said.

1. This is not new. A woman in Toronto I know for years vacationed in...

Florida.

For at least a year after 9/11 she was refused entry because she was born in Sweden. You had to be native born Canuck to cross the border then. Maybe even still.

So she said fuck it and vacationed in Cuba. Loved it there.

When I had to make deliveries to Montreal, most of the time the Canadians just waived me tbrough, but I always went through a third degree when coming back.

I have long believed the concept of nations is outmoded and borders are just a waste of time and resources.
