Windsor / Canada is "Open" for US Visitors

[Lowell]

Now that the border is “open” for s***s and giggles I downloaded the required arriveCan app to see how it works. If you had watched me, who is reasonably computer savvy, trudging through uploading my vaccine proof, enhanced license, and more, you would see why I put “open” in quotes.

Then I come to the notice that I can only apply within the three days of any visit, have to get and show up with proof of a recent molecular negative covid test, maybe take another when I get there and, the big kicker, have a 14 day quarantine plan in place— all which pretty much adds up to say “f*** you, we really don’t want you to come.” And that’s before dealing with the border guard strike!

I read some articles about Canadians celebrating the return of American tourism but, seriously, how many are going to jump through all those hoops, especially the quarantine plan part? Would you?
