The reason why is because we felt that Trump was insinuating that we had a bigger problem with COVID-19 than the U.S.

The fact was that the U.S. had the biggest problem with it than any other country in the Americas. Yet he used the situation to send more troops to the Mexican border. So, to seem fair, he contemplated sending troops to the Canadian border. Fact was you were getting it from Europe and Asia.

So, Canada protested that it was ridiculous. No Canadian would ever want to visit or sneak into your country then and now. Not even Mexicans would want in.

However, no, you can’t just come over the border. They have shut it down with the exception of essentials. We have no problem with that!
