Carolynleanne: NEXUS used to be a fast track!Remember when our NEXUS use to be a good pass? HAHA. Now I have NO idea what to expect when those borders reopen!
I guess at the moment it's pretty irrelevant....

Kind of seems a bit of a distant memory...Yep... i miss it
I think it has a lot to do with the US side not staffing all the booths. There was the govt shut downs, labour disputes, cut backs....on & on.I live right near three crossings. It’s a well known fact that if you are trying to cross on a holiday weekend you better be prepared to sit for hours .
I can’t even imagine what it will look like when it first reopens. Especially if we need to show documentation of vaccinations etc .There will be some waits for sure !

I can’t wait to be able to go over to Bellingham again! Trader Joe’s, Costco gas lol, and my fav Mexican restaurant! Sigh
SAME! I miss Target and American Walmart, haha. It was our favourite weekend activity.
Well it’s not just up to Biden. We aren’t going to start letting people come here with no quarantine that quickly.
Actually I keep reading that the US president may want to keep us Canadians out of the US because we are far far far from being vaccinated compared to them. They will have a much higher % vaccinated by July, we are a few months behind them. So while the congressman is pushing for that... the truth is now we are in worse shape than USA.Well it’s not just up to Biden.

How so? Our cases are way lower than in the US. Yes our vaccinations have been slow, but they'll ramp up very quickly. It will be a lot easier to vaccinate 25 million adults vs 290 (ballparking eligible adult populations - feel free to correct - and of course there will be the anti-vaxxers). I'm 39 and got my first dose last evening, my wife gets her first next Thursday. Only symptom so far is feels like someone gave me a real good punch in the arm. We're in the NWT and any willing adult 18 and up can get it now.the truth is now we are in worse shape than USA.

I wish! I’m in Ontario, over 65, and hoping like heck to get my first shot in June. For a lot of us, a first dose is months off. Second dose another 4 months after.
we aren't even really getting started in Nova Scotia. My mother is 86 and her first vaccine will be in 3 weeks, at the earliest.
Ottawa sent more vaccines your way, so the rest of us have to wait. I think they did the right thing because we have more than enough health care facilities with access for our whole population. lol I think it only takes 8 hours to drive from one end of the province to the other.

We're aware we are very lucky - the "joys" of being in the middle of nowhere and a small population. They did not send more our way, they sent SOME - very little actually, but it's easy to vaccinate 35,000 adults vs. millions in some provinces. But the point of my original post is why is Canada worse off than the US other than vaccinations were at a slow start?
They actually did send more your way if you look at it based on population. Otherwise there is no way NWT can be offering the vaccine for those 18+ when some areas haven’t even started vaccinating 80+. And it’s all because of supply. Not logistics.
Don’t take this as complaining. They were totally right in making sure people living in more remote areas were protected first.
