Feeling sorry for the Canucks, and for the folks who just want to travel through Canada. Oh, and for Queen AQ-D's subjects too.

I wonder how much cross border smuggling has happened during Covid. I have 3 nephews truckers that cross the Canada/ US border on a regular basis. They say all the border guards want is your paperwork and send you on your way.

Just had family friends return to Alaska no problem. A few protocols and a negative test and it took 30 minutes to get through.

Returning from vacation (road trip around the US).

Just put the trip off for a year or so and save your money. With the fuel price increases that are occuring daily you will not a lot more money for fuel in a year or so.
The Alcan trip is nice but not under present circumstances.

I believe your advice is best, but I doubt this Corona scare will ever be over. Until I read some of the Canadian's comments I would have not thought the average Canadian would be averse to a traveler coming through and spending money at the various roadhouses along the way. They are talking stoning and vandalizing. I could just drive through one our ghettos if that is to be expected. Looks like I can cross this off my list.

Fugg the government scamdemic on both sides of the border. I’ll keep my azz and my money on my side of the border. It has been refreshing not to fight Canasians for parking at Costco. I’m sure Trudeau would welcome some of our illegals, of which we have a bate.

This is kind of stupid but it is THEIR country. The Corona-19 virus is well established in both countries and although less than the usual number we still have a substantial per-cent of the Canadian population spending the winter with us. I'll find somewhere else to go. I would sure like having my own 4WD GMC in Alaska so as not to have to abide by rental vehicle restrictions, such as the Denali Highway, and Steese Highway. I don't imagine Hertz would agree to the road from Tok to Eagle either. Oh well.

Apparently Mr dressup said yesterday that the border is closed 'indefinitely'. What that means is anyones guess. Some are saying it will start to open this winter. I do know a lot of US hunters with hunts booked here this year have already been told by their outfitter that their hunts have been canceled again. We had to cancel all of our fishing trips as well. Really sucks. Going to be fewer places to go once this is over.

Going to be a lot of outfitters losing their territories over this I bet. Which will make it a lot easier to portion up areas for redistribution if there isn't anyone left to fight to hang onto them.

When a disease is already in a country what does closing the border accomplish. Maybe U.S.A. Americans are harder to control and don't consider themselves subjects?

The financial impact on friends in YT is BAD!

A lot of good folks facing extreme financial hardship.

I think the recent Territorial Election resulted in another liberal win.

I just talked to some Alaskans that just traveled through Canada and they said: "Never Again".

Regulations were inconsistent in application. Mandatory hotels were expensive and crummy.
They weren't allowed to use their camper. They were tracked via cell phone ping consistently.
Treated poorly by locals in some areas.

How is it pinged if it’s turned off and wrapped in foil?

I've talked to a few Americans traveling through lately with the same stories. Its disgusting how some are treated. Its like the 'pack' mentality has kicked into overdrive.

To many Yukoner's work for the government, and the government has allowed them to work from home in many cases. Those people havent missed a paycheck and dont want it to end. They are going to ride the gravy train as long as possible.

The election results from last week proved that.
