[quadrakid]

All i could find is that the regional district of east kootenay would like to see border restrictions.

[silveragent]

There's this news article:
https://nationalpost.com/news/southeastern-b-c-municipality-wants-to-close-border-to-limit-campers-cottage-owners-travelling-into-regions
B.C. municipality wants to close border with Alberta for long weekend to slow COVID-19Regional authorities in southeastern B.C. are calling on the provincial health officer to tighten inter-provincial traffic, over fears that the travellers could spur a wave of COVID-19 in local communities.
The board chair for the Regional District of East Kootenay has asked authorities to close the provincial border, as well as the backcountry out of fears that non-locals attempting to hide out in campgrounds and vacation homes from the pandemic, could overwhelm the few community resources available to curb the virus.

And I see nothing on the BC government website:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/traveller-information/travel-affected-by-covid-19#alberta
BC-Alberta Border

There are no restrictions for the Alberta border.
Travellers are reminded to limit themselves to only essential travel at this time.
Find out more about travel to Alberta (https://www.alberta.ca/covid-19-travel-advice.aspx).

BC-Northwest Territories Border

Highway 77, closed in both directions at Petitot River Bridge (4 km south of British Columbia and Northwest Territories Border). The road is closed to non-essential travel.
Find out more about travel restrictions for entering the Northwest Territories (https://www.hss.gov.nt.ca/en/services/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/travel-restrictions-entering-nwt)

BC-Yukon Border

For travellers heading into the Yukon via Highway 97 or Highway 37, crossings are limited to essential travel only.

Kind of silly to worry about traffic from Alberta with out throwing up a roadblock at Hope;). Seriously, if people want to clump up and make each other sick, they can fly right at it. I don't care. They just have to stay the hell away from me. Going forward, we have to be cautious but practical. This would be easier if we got all the information. Dr. Henry's refusal to identify communities with verified cases is reprehensible. Without this identification, one has to assume their community is virus-free. Of course, this is not the response Dr. Henry is hoping for but you don't always get what you want. Give people the truth, the whole truth, and the response is more likely to be what is desired. GD

yeah I agree. Not telling just makes most of us not trust our leaders. I’m not big into politics they are all the same as far as I can tell. That being said if you look at the numbers our leaders are doing a good job overall but not perfect but hey that’s how it is. I do like ford though he’s a straight shooter

[Treed]

All the Rec sites are closed in BC, which sucks for fishing. A buddy was fishing up at
a popular place and the cops were stopping people, and if there were two or more people in a vehicle and you couldn’t prove you were from the same family group or live together, they were threatening $1,200 fines. Not sure if they handed any out.

[S.W.A.T.]

Most Albertsans are only going to snowmobile destinations and prince rupert. I'm not in agreement with it. Many of the small towns are shaming them and I don't agree with that either.

[r106]

I would be more interest to shut down air travel mainly from Quebec and Ontario

[quadrakid]

Its really no different than Quadra Island asking people to stay away or Tofino /Ucluelet saying stay away or any number of other rural areas that think they can keep covid away. Losing battle,if covid can get around the world in a few months it is coming to your neighbourhood if it is not already there.

With how common it is you be smarter to assume your community has it, unless you live in nunavut

[orest.06]

Share those thoughts with your local MP because identifying communities has worked effectively in other countries as evidenced this morning on CBC interview at channel 88.0 FM. That would be wise.

[Grumpa Joe]

When Dr. Henry gave her update yesterday a reporter asked the question about closing the Alberta border and she discounted it. Said that is not what they endorse at this time and Dix didn't contradict her.

[Redthies]

I agree accept for the stupid americans part..

Funniest post I’ve read in a long time.

[GreyDog]

I suppose it is and that is precisely what she wants us to do. I just dislike being manipulated and that is what is happening. Given full info, I can make an informed decision. Withhold information and your credibility goes out the window. GD

Take a look at their president take a look at the crowded beaches and stores take a look at their death rate and infection rate take a look at the different state’s ignoring social distancing all together.... now tell me they aren’t stupid!! I’ll take turdo any day the United States are going to implode on themselves

I don't care about your political leanings, but I have to ask... have you left your house lately? Our beaches are packed, 150 person house party got broken up in Delta on the weekend, I was invited to a bonfire in Hope on the weekend, look at all the other posts about people camping anywhere and everywhere and leaving their waste (garbage and human) all over the place.

No, we are no better than Americans. We may not have the same infection rate but it is not because of we follow rules or because of our leaders. In fact, it is probably in spite of them.

And we only have 10% of the population compared to the US for the same land mass.

Fact, their president took action under heavy criticism to shut down flights from China before the WHO even named the virus, President Trump now is critizing China and the WHO for their untruthfulness..Trudeau sent 16 tonnes of much needed PPE to china on Feb 9th and said borders don't stop viruses lol

Our city of Vancouver's beaches were crowded with people so many people city council had to pass a motion to give it the power to hand out social distancing fines...

You can't compare the infection or death rate to Canada, facts, the virus will spread faster when people are in closer contact, city of Vancouver is 675 thousand people, NewYork city is 8.6 million! That's almost 1/4 the population of all of Canada in one city!

Anyway people are stupid all over the world and if you think Canadians are so much smarter I'll have to disagree. Political derailment over lol

Of course I do but for hunting only. Read the news and all you see in the states panic buying ar15s even by the recommendation of a gop senator.. fear of looting ect. But it goes even deeper with their civil war history. It’s a complex subject no doubt. But fear and panic can only end badly. The United States is going to implode on itself. I have family in Detroit and from what they tell me things are not well. You have financial ruin a deadly disease a crazy pathological liar president, on and on .. it’s only a matter of time. Hell chaos could even be coming to Canada and the whole world. Wait till October when this bug comes back with a vengeance. I hope I’m wrong of course. Unfortunately if the human race can’t learn our lessons this time around we’re all screwed.

At least Pauly admits to being a JT supporter. There are thousands who must have supported him and won't admit it. GD

[Pauly]

On a happier note lol I’m headed out to dial in the big gun for bears. I have a good spot and very little traffic. We’re a few weeks behind in the thaw around here so I won’t get to serious till start of May. Good luck to all hopefully lots of guys fill their freezers. P.s roads through parks are ok to travel and don’t forget all main roads through parks in B.C. are 1/4 mile no shooting or hunting

[CheesyLimper]

I try to stay out of these threads but I have to say, this is a good post.

If you want to troll or give guys a hard time that’s fine but leave the racist comments out.

[Huntingtyler123]

Trump is trump. Has nothing to do with the virus. He was the one closing travel between China before all of this. Who the hell wants pelosi or sleepy joe or god damn Bernie sanders. There all lunatics. I’d rather see trump then all those people including Hillary. Trudea is an ass wipe. There all bad. End of story. Take care of yourself and your family first , the government sure as hell won’t.

second wave hits you’ll be glad to stock up on ammo and guns, food, ass wipe and supplies. This virus is F all. We are being told to stay inside with electricity, food and internet/tv. Oh woe is me.
get ready for people coming after the shit you have when shit hits the fan.

Was your point to prove you are a worthless POS? Mission accomplished?!

I would wager I have spent more time in the States than most on this site. Have quite a few American friends. Despite what msm is saying the vast majority are taking this serious. And yes, this virus will comeback, but they will be ready. And if it really does hit the fan they will be the last ones standing. I cannot say the same for Canada.

I don't get the USA bashing, only an idiot would wan't that. If there is a vaccine or an entity to get to the bottom of it a solution will come from the USA.
Trudeau seems giddy and delighted at the virus, its an opportunity for him to put the finishing nail in this country, Trump doesn't see it that way, there is the difference.
If there were proper testing for this virus there would be little need for any travel restriction's.
