Fully vaccinated Canadians will be allowed to enter the United States at land and ferry border crossings starting in early November.
Senior U.S. officials announced Tuesday night a plan to begin reopening the land borders with Canada and Mexico, which have been closed for non-essential travel since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
An exact date for the reopening has not yet been determined, according to senior administration officials who briefed reporters earlier about the plan during a conference call.
They said a number of details are still being worked out, including the type of documentation that will be accepted to prove a traveller’s vaccination status.

Our personal view of the globe underwent a decided jolt yesterday upon announcement of the opening of the Canadian border to the United States of America for non-essential travel. This welcome intelligence competes with FOX NEWS regarding two other items, the “coming out” of Superman; and, the removal of “Brown Sugar” from the Rolling Stones’ repertoire. Tucker Carlson and his flagship Republican friends have in this opaque world revealed more newsworthy material.
The Rolling Stones retired one of their most popular rock songs due to lyrics that depict the horrors of slavery. The Stones have not played the 1971 hit “Brown Sugar” on their current tour and said the blues classic has been removed from their setlist.
“You picked up on that, huh?,” Keith Richards, 77, responded to the LA Times when asked if the Stones had cut the second-most-performed tune in their catalog amid a climate of heightened cultural sensitivity.

DC Comics’ new Superman is revealed as a bisexual man.
The comic book publisher announced on Monday that the son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, Jon, who recently joined his dad as Superman, will begin a relationship with a male friend in an upcoming issue.
While I appreciate the literary and sexual modifications, I see both as “after the fact” persuasion only and frankly more than a bit out of date and time. What’s next? Canceling pregnant teenage girls from remaining cloistered for the ensuing nine months? Heaven forbid! The Lord will have his/her/its vengeance! The combination of political gravity, social anxiety, religious overtone and intellectual precision is staggering!
Josh Mandel, a Republican running for a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio, opted for a more dramatic complaint.
“Bisexual comic books for kids. They are literally trying to destroy America,” he tweeted.
I for one trust the comic book industry does not destroy America before I’ve had a moment to reinvigorate my fondest recollections. We’ve initiated our rusty talents for communication with estate agents regarding vacation rentals. So far it has been an uphill climb but we’re gradually beginning to see the dawn of a decision – one which could go either way depending upon the willingness of the estate agents to do their work “with the best interests of both parties involved”. I won’t vulgarize the comment by explaining it in raw commercial terms from the perspective of the estate agent. Meanwhile I have within my own panorama an endearing reminder of exceedingly lovely beaches on the magical barrier islands along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
