Per the announcement this hour from the late Prime Minister: Canada to bar entry to all travellers who are not citizens or permanent residents. Exceptions will be in place for U.S. citizens, diplomats, crew and immediate family members of citizens…
And crossings via Roxham Road, one presumes.
If the Trump admin issues the same in coming hours, I think it’s safe to assume Trudeau’s hand was forced by a courtesy call from Washington.

When is a travel ban, not a travel ban?
How sciency was the first decision, compared to the sciencyness of the about face decision?
Apparently he’s listened to all the best experts before, which said travel bans don’t work. So, now bans DO work?
Incompetent azzhoe!
The barn door has been open for a few weeks now.
But we’re still stuck with the rear end of the horse.
No, just the steaming pile that the horse left behind.
It has nice hair though…
Rebel News was at the forefront with Keean Bexte at the open USA border at Roxham Rd Quebec risking arrest!
The Mayor Of Montreal Valerie Plante was going to take matters into her own hands. Trudeau jumped. Now that’s clout!
Two major factors to effecting change, my friends!
Of course that …with great sarcasm…

In the q/a in this presser, the Ottawa press corps seems upset that Canda will allow in U.S. citizens, but will be bar other non-Canadians.
Those bought and paid for hacks don’t realize that the United States can close it’s borders to Canadians.
Yup…..and if you look at the stats, it appears that Canada has a higher rate of infection than the U.S. per capita. And the rate of spread is faster in Canada. The Ottawa pressers better keep their bloody sycophantic mouths SHUT.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya, to hear this. See? – this is my shocked face (-_-)
So shocked…
Mind you, if Little Potato and his hug-a-thug we-are-the-world progressive SJW’s had done this a couple’a weeks ago, doubtless saving many Canadian lives thereby, I’d’a really been shocked.
They don’t have any brains and don’t consider the fact we need TRUCKS to cross the border with goods.
NORTH American trade is not affected between the 3 countries as per Christia Freeland’s news conference, minutes ago.
Yes but the truck drivers bringing goods from the US are Americans typically so that’s why we need Americans to be allowed into Canada.
There has ALWAYS been a strong anti-American resentment by the Eastern Laurentian elites, going back to the days of Fuddle Duddle. These people are shallow and shameless!
Wasn’t it Carolyn Bennett who exclaimed in the 80s, GD AMERICANS!
The Americans could turn this country into Afghanistan north if they wanted to. Close the border and cease all trade. Liberals would scream, then be begging on their knees for forgiveness, with their commie ENDP friends
It goes WAY AY FURTHER BAck than that.
Try Empire Loyalists…..there’s Your germination of Anti Americanism. Its a genetic thing handed down from one generation to another.
Helped along by later ASSholes Chretien, Carolynn Parrish among others.
well david , they may be Trump supporters, there’s that!
“Screening” eh? By “observing arriving travellers and making sure they’re aware of Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) guidelines”. That’ll do the trick.
Just listened to the Turd. He said nothing. Call your family, call your neighbours. Say a thank you to front line workers. Good gawd. All platitudes and absolutely no substance. Compared to Trump this guy is some lite-weight of a leader.
So…um….Winston Churchill he ain’t?
More of a Neville Chamberlain. Except dumber…..MUCH dumber.
No, not Churchill, maybe Macaroni
Did his boyfriend on CTV, Michel Boyer, gaysplain what Trudeau really meant to say, again?
Caught Michel Boyer the past couple of weeks, and he is a real piece of work, promoting the federal Liberal party.
He’s in constant “What Trudeau meant to say was” mode.
It’s so pathetically transparent and obnoxious. Mind you, he has LOTS of company at CTV doing much the same thing.
There is no media in this country, it’s All Liberal Propaganda, All the Time.
Wrt Kate’s comment about the Roxham Road Crossing, have to wonder if one of the bought stenographers will journey to that location and do a random act of journalism?
If someone could be so kind as to show the attending RCMP doing baggage handling the video of the sock monkey saying banning entry of non citizens we’d be much obliged.
RCMP – Royal Canadian Migrant Porters.
This is the link to Keean Bexte’s report from Roxham Road a few days ago. No screening by the RCMP, who are still there helping illegal border crossers to get on buses to be taken further into Canada – all expenses paid. What a country.
None of the mainstream media will ever report this story.

Someone should tell Keean that Surgical masks are completely USELESS. They are designed to prevent the Wearer from exuding liquids from his/her mouth during Surgery… In no way would they prevent the ingress of COVID-19 to him.
For that you need a proper respirator and at worst an N95 Mask.
As for ROXHAM Rd and any of the RCM Porters there…everyone of them should be charged with obstruction of Justice and Human Trafficking.
Fucking OUTRAGEOUS is what that has and continues to be.

I remember reading how, in that phony-baloney business ideology known as “customer service”, the process is far more important than the result. If something is seen as being done, it’s considered done, regardless of whether anything tangible was actually accomplished.
Prinz Dummkopf said something, therefore we are now safe. Actually physically implementing what he stated doesn’t matter.
Reference for the BalconyMissives:

Well now, Rebel News was banned from the PM JT’s Balconyville Chronicles and Important Missives!
Their job was well done though.
Rebel News lead the MSM pack wolves!
KUDOS to Keean Bexte for reporting from Roxam Road at the USA Border. He shamed them all.
Damn, imagine how effective this would’ve been if they did it a month ago. And included the US.
Not very effective when your screen has holes big enough to drive a full-size coronavirus through.
Jesus, that would have only given them 24 days to make a decision from when Wuhan and Hubei were put under quarantine on the 23 of January.
It takes that long to make a careful, well-reasoned decision….. Nah. He ran out of colouring books in his “self quarantine” and had to do something to break the boredom.
SO Trump announces a ban on travel from Europe last week, and P-Hac! is just getting around to putting in the same ban on Wednesday.
DanBC – “When is a travel ban, not a travel ban?

Soooooo, the science wasn’t settled ? !!!
Seems to be a bit late don’t you think? Justin the idiot can’t connect the dots I guess. I think this is the first time we have a government comprised completely of village idiots. Guess who the biggest idiot is.
Maxime Bernier
@MaximeBernier
Until yesterday they were saying that “the science” did not support closing the border as a solution.
Did the science just change?
Or is it that this government finally had to set aside its open borders ideology and face up to the evidence?

Why does the Liberal government think travel screening is subject to debate? I guess overwhelming our hospitals and deciding who lives and dies in a few weeks or months is a much more appealing option. We have children running our country.
Loooong overdue! Let’s see if the usual suspects on the Left now call Trudeau a racist xenophobe for doing this, like they’ve been accusing Trump of for weeks. When you see little to none of this happening you’ll understand the lack of truth exhibited by the TDS-infected folks.

I don’t understand what you don’t understand.
The Quebec-Toronto Liberal Party needs voters.
Don’t think whether dead or alive really matters to Liberal Glozis….
The filthy slimy media asked over and over about blocking citizens of the USA from entering Canada,,, but no interest in asking about other countries like China, Italy, Iran, Spain, S Korea, Germany, or France all of which have more cases than the USA, and are still able to enter Canada,,, TODAY YET !
Why have they left the border open for so long, while Trump closed it to many of these countries?
The “late” Prime Minister. Lol.
He’s tardy all right as in Retardy.
Despite the US, I wonder if the science of the solution was suddenly clarified by the credible threats numbering in the tens of thousands from angry Canadians and collected by our little Deep State listeners then passed on to the PMO and the various other gangs of federal bobble heads.
Told to Telford, et al: “Hear us now and believe us later, if you fuckers don’t shut this shit down not even the US army will be able to save your lying, incompetent asses.”
The US army will be the ones kicking in the door of Rideau Cottage and replacing Justin with someone who realizes this is an act of war by Red China.
The horse and the horseflies are long out of the stable.
This is what should have been done to China as soon as the Chicomms jailed the two Canadians. But there wasn’t one call for that to happen from the entire House of Commons.
Correct me if I’m wrong, he’s allowing international flights to enter and deplane in Canada so how is he barring non-Canadians? More word salad from the biggest flake we’ve ever had posing as a leader. All the illegals have to assert is they are Americans thus they can enter free of any bureaucratic interference.
Airlines are expected to deny boarding to passengers who aren’t diplomats and are unable to produce Canadian passports or PR cards (or US passports), or who are visibly ill.
Of course, Chinese patient zeroes will have been issued forged Canadian papers already. Nobody in a Chinese airport will dare ask too many questions.
Anybody looking sick on arrival is supposed to be referred to public health officials for further screening. If you’re white, look forward to imprisonment without bail for 14 days. If you’re Chinese, welcome home, get well soon.
And, if one is Canadian, returning from Chiner, and appearing healthy at arrival, they can go home…….and supposed to self-isolate………and let’s say they don’t. Just heard of this exact scenario. The kid arrived this past weekend. Not isolating, but he’s going around partying with his buddies. So let’s see, say he starts getting sick later this week, how many has Ding Ho infected by being a brainless twat?
For a number of years the Chinese came to Vancouver to give birth to children and then went back home to China.
Some of the children may be in their teens or perhaps older.
Never contributed a buck to this country.
Are they gonna be taken care of?
Harm, nothing but harm is being done here. The recession/depression that will follow, is going to claim a lot more lives, and cause a lot more hardship than any strain of the flu ever could.
This is still ineffective. Asymptomatic “Canadians” will continue to pour in from China, Iran, etc.
I’ve been listening to the Government Ministers presser,
We are in good hands.SARC.
The media are useless fart catchers,fawning enablers do not hold any one accountable.
The featured bureaucrats are just as bad.
The only silver lining is this,the cities voted for this and they will bear the brunt of an unchecked pandemic.
We might get a solution to the demographic tyranny of our cities,instead of having to stampede the parasites across the border,to enable a new country reset., we may see them suffer a “natural decline”.
Any poor deprived sport fan listening to these “leaders” speak is probably starting a slow meltdown.
Good.
For as some here have noted, until the coffee runs out and there is no Hockey to watch,Canadians will never care enough to engage in self government.
Math is hard.
The economic collapse being orchestrated here is amazing.
Almost as if those advising us have no clue as to production of wealth and useful goods..
Oh right.
Can Ahh Duh.
Nevermind.
Of course what a great excuse for reneging on all those unfunded promises our parasitic overload has made us.
If you were planning to buy any imported toys,buy now.
As I expect that 40 US cent dollar is going to need a miracle to recover.
Four deaths in Canada so far, all in the same nursing home in B.C. For crying out loud, this is ridiculous. The only problem I see here is the media and government causing undue harm to everyone and everything by their fear stoking and knee jerking. The elderly are always vulnerable to cold and flu. Always. The precedent we are setting is now whenever some group may be affected by something, we are allowing the government to shut the world. Think about it, we’ll be treating viruses with the same rigour as a human rights tribunal and unilaterally punishing the rest of the world if it possibly impairs anyone’s life.
The body count isn’t really the point, any more than on 9/11—though the body count has nowhere to go right now but up. The point is terror.
This is only the first genetically modified bioterror agent Red China has released into the environment to show the west who’s boss. It won’t be the last—especially if this one succeeds in making Americans lose faith in Donald Trump and the Democrats succeed in replacing him by Beijing Biden.
“The body count isn’t really the point…”
Where’s that damn ‘like’ button?
The real fear, is that of overwhelming the health system, due to the highly infectious nature of the virus.
That’s how Italy exploded with so many deaths, so quickly.
It’s easy to take precautions and make minor sacrifices.
It’s not easy to get unsick!
I was a doubter, but, looking at what has happened in Europe the last week, should snap us all to attention. This is not “just a flu”. It will largely wipe out the elderly, but, there are cases of young people dying, likely due to viral overload, exposed to high viral concentrations where many infected exist. Like the doctors in Wuhan.
You are not immune. We can figure out the conspiracy later. And we can get rid of Trudeau later for his incompetence, sticking to his ideology first, safety third.
Thank you for the additional awareness We must keep in mind of the several sources of misinformation; naturally this must begin with the Chinese Communist Party leadership. They have failed in the humanist test paced before them by their own (planning?) : incompetency : and the obviously fearful protection of the Communism in the political party used to maintain total dominance of the Chinese People. The second misinformation source is also easily recognized is the Democrat Party of america. They have used the false narrative of Russia, Russia, Russia, to try and hide Their obviously fearful protection of the increasingly recognized incredible corruption of the Federal Bureacracy leadership collusion in (diverting ?) or standard operating meme of the self-interest sewer crowd. A similar stage in the collapse of all one time successful hegemonies maintaining a Law & Order foundation for the S.O.A.P. persons looking for a sovereign Ordinary concerned about Ordinary Average Persons. It is only in the U.S.A. and potentially in israel where the Sovereign becomes the attachment to the S.O.A.P.
__ The Democrat Party has steadily changed its mascot from a Donkey into a Mule __ An animal which is sterile and unable to discern between the necessary effort of persistence to accomplish the difficult task of a socilal contract as ‘ Hamilton ‘ continually presented in the Federalist Papers. No! the Democrat Politics now is reminiscent of Abraham Lincoln using the immediatecy of a Court of Justice to clarify the matter of a miscreant potential felon — A Mr. John Cass — when being seated as to whether anyone referred to He as — Jack Cass –; this is where the frightened cabal of washington Sewer Crowd have moved. Well beyond compassion for Children learning to adapt a diagnosis of Autism.
This failure of available funding through the apparent misdirection of the Democrat Funding in amount 1.6 trillion U.$.A tax-payer: unable to be found by the Government Accountable Office -{A.G.O.}- is an hoorendous mishandling of Tax-payer funding. Intial discoveries by the G.A.O. have determined its loss was determined during 2003 in the POTUS #43 Administartion; but obviously something initiated in the POTUS #42 Administration where idealistic individuals felt their only recourse for perceiving criminal activities was to resign.
Morality was perceived to go astray once the Arkansas good people decided they no longer wanted such a situation.
Children in need of Education, including special needs Children have been deprived of the possible financial support of $1,600,000,000,000..00; as a potential foundation of financial support over decades of democrat & republican leadership has slipped away. Possibly atttached to the modern version of Mr. & Ms. Jack Cass — holding out a Golden Ring of promise to the panting crowd of minions indifferent to the souce of wind fall.
It has become well known the suspect quality in the charcter of the Arkansas not-so-good Arkansas is a contagious creation and for more than two decades and using a ‘politically incorrect comparison of a wanton spouse’ brought the difficulties of marriage as being care of an autistic or asperger person. This self description of marriage and confirmed through out an autobiographical account of petululence and mean in nature Ms. Jack Cass established the self-interest and apparent self-helping of being a Top-Level Bureaucracy Leader.__ But! __ S.O.A.P. is the strength instituted with the Foundation of “WE THE PEOPLE ….” and Business is the business of the United States of America.
So Americans are exempted and Seattle is a suburb of Vancouver (or vice versa).
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/trudeau-closes-canada-e2-80-99s-borders-to-foreigners-us-exempted/ar-BB11gPRp
And Seattle is in Trouble.
As of this moment the US has 4096 cases, Canada has 405. When you consider the US population is 100 times that of Canada, the relative number of cases in Canada would be 40,500. By all measures Trudeau’s, stock up, wash your hands and good luck plan is a massive failure.
Math is hard for Progs…
Some people use the “,” as a decimal separator. But still wrong.
“When you consider the US population is 100 times that of Canada”
You’re either using a Michael Mann calculator or a Texan geography text.
Math is hard for far too many…UnFknbeleeeeevable
US pop: ~ 350 Million
CA pop: ~ 35 Million.
What Unionized slug taught you that = 100 times..?
They grew up with a calculator. Can’t do math in their heads. I can still run cos and sine tables in my head and slide rules got us to the Moon. No battery needed.
It seems like a good plan. A few thoughts from this cross border trucker:
– cross border trucking should be the last thing to shut down
– someone running across canada is more likely to spread it as we get screened crossing the border. Imagine checkstops at every provincial border?
– the value of goods running north is larger than south. Our trade is generally equal. That means oil and gas heading south in pipelines make up the difference
– if cross border trucking were to stop, the balance of trade woukd shift heavily in Canadas favor
– there is no reason whatsoever to stop American truck drivers from coming in
Should have been done to flights from China as soon as the pandemic started.
No, let’s allow the Chinese tourists to take it around the world first.
The Coronavirus map looks eerily similar to the maps of where Chinese tourists prefer to travel.
Racist?
My Chinese in laws here in Canada hope to not lose their elderly parents over this, too bad we didn’t isolate the problem when it first came out.
Unifor president Dias writes in the Toronto Sun that efforts to get through this crisis must include the fight against global warming and support for gender equity.
Forty minutes late to a press briefing on the steps of his own house. Or, is it Maggie’s and he just lives in the basement?
Talk about disregard for the Canadian public, even if it is only the presstitutes begging to sit in his lap face-first.
He didn’t say anything we already didn’t know from the “pre-notice” of the big announcement from yesterday.
All of the questions to his disciples’ questions sounded scripted. And even then, he stumbled and stammered. Twice ignored the question and mumbled some mantra like a cult member being deprogrammed.
Naturally, the CBC and UNIFOR news media will fawn over his statesmanship in tonight’s news casts.
“Forty minutes late to a press briefing on the steps of his own house”
So you think putting eyebrows on is quick or easy? Not for our Justin.
This “ban” is really ineffective.
It’s not just that Justin et al are colossally stupid and failed to act when they could have (not stopping all flights from hot zones, failure to enforce isolation, not having an equivalent of the CDC, beefing up urgent care in hospitals, ect). It’s that this “ban” doesn’t fully bar anyone from the country or scrutinise people who used one passport to enter the US and another to leave it for destinations unknown.
It’s the usual pretense this worthless government always puts out when caught not acting.
I tell you in the next few weeks and after several deaths, this government will be praised for its “decisive” action against those rotten Americans.
Calling it now.
just like how Jason Kenney is getting spammed about how awesome he is by his adoring masses on twitter for looking in Edmonton Airport while his provincial health minions completely bungle everything in regards to testing
Injuns came first…for a friggin’ MONTH! and even then they hummmed and haaaawed. Friggin’ retards. Can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
It’s still a battle between responsible people and irresponsible idiots which isn’t helped with anything Trudeau and his tools have put forward today.
It’s another case of too late out of the gate.
Patty Hadju is dummer then a c u next Tuesday , actually a sack of nails was created for a purpose what’s her excuse?
Dam…
Oppsss…
Sorry Kate and God…
But God knows, I am not lying here Kate!!!
Yea…no shit Tara.
Her claim to fame is that she was selected for her vagina and her obvious massively impressive resume of Digital Graphic Design.
Stump, as dumb as.
“Patty Hadju is dummer then a c u next Tuesday , actually a sack of nails was created for a purpose what’s her excuse?”
She was selected by the constituency that elected her. We don’t deserve her, but her constituency totally does.
If sealing the border is ineffective, as the Liberal mouthpiece claims, then why have quarantines and
why has the Prime Minister self-isolated?
Isn’t sealing the border self-isolation for the whole country? Isn’t what’s sauce for the goose sauce for the gander too?
Jeeze! these people haven’t even a passing acquaintance with logic.
Nah, fake news. There is still a steady stream of illegals entering via Roxham Rd. None of these characters are, of course, US citizens. But we welcome them nonetheless.
Even in our greatest time of need Turdo still flies the SJW open borders flag.
