Coronavirus

I haven’t been to Montreal since October, and I doubt I’ll be making my usual August pilgrimage. Short of a vaccine, do any of you REALLY think the border will open this year AND that any trip from the US to Montreal could include a visit to a restaurant or pub? My gut tells me short of a vaccine the chances are close to 0%. And then there’s that second wave potential....
Thanks for the gut check, Punky. Appreciate it. August and the fall especially won’t be the same without a Montreal visit. Even IF the border opens up, I wouldn’t feel comfortable visiting unless I knew I could visit McLeans Pub or Winnie’s, see live music at Hurley’s, go for a run or bike ride and just freely walk around. I sense such a weekend getaway is a long way off. Sitting in a hotel room is not my thing even if border and Euphoria are open.
I have been watching Europe to see about borders and they have opened them for intercontinental travel. I thought the US/Canada border would be opening up this month and I would have thought so if it was if it wasn’t for the protests and lootings. My guess now would be August. Canada is loosing mucho coin from American tourists but they are playing it smart by taking it slow.

Europe's borders reopen to on-continent travelers, but countries expect long road for tourism to recover
Many European countries are reopening borders after months of restrictions, but it's still a long road for tourism to recover.

Same here. I was (sort of) surprised that they decided to extend the closure, but I think it is for the last time. Although if they keep insisting on a quarantine for all visitors, that will be equally useless as far as tourism is concerned.
Not sure if August will even be in the picture? Hope it does, but doubt it. #’s r goin up boys, not just cases, but hospitalizations? That’s all the shit from the long weekend @ end of May in the states. These protests, riots and Trump rallies are gonna be even worse. Justin’s gonna def impose a 14 day quarantine even on the off chance he lets u in.
A 14 day quarantine makes a Montreal visit absolutely useless, as does not being able to venture out to bars and restaurants, or even the casino.
And I wonder about the level of grilling from US Customs on way back into states, including fruitless and silly secondary inspections. Obviously we know how to handle process relative to phones, etc, but one is left to wonder about the hassle.

Miss Kenny during the weekend days for his legendary Bloody Caesar's! Best I've ever had.
Very interesting article in the WSJ:
