Things are really heating up over the continued closure of the border between the US and Canada. It's been extended again through at least July 21 to general nonessential (read: tourist) travel, and while we cats are getting as itchy for it to reopen as everybody else, we have a few thoughts.
New York Congressman Brian Higgins may be a Democrat, but he's continuing to annoy us. If members of Congress still accepted correspondence from non-constituents, we'd write and tell him that his vulgar tweet on Friday was unacceptable. Why is he acting like Trump? He needs to cut it out.
That said, it's extra disappointing that Canada won't let us in because the country's lone team in the Stanley Cup playoffs is doing unexpectedly well. The Canadiens knocked off the Leafs, the Jets, and now are battling Las Vegas (with the series tied). No doubt, plenty of Montrealers are already planning the Cup parade down Ste.-Catherine Street, and it would be a shame to miss it. OTOH, if the Habs fold, we won't have to worry about it, will we?
By the way, the US-Mexico border is also closed until at least July 21. Just sayin'.
In the end, yes, we're frustrated. But isn't it better for Canada's government to err on the side of caution when there was so much idiocy, incompetence and malevolence on our side of the border last year? You can't blame them for being spooked by Trumpian ineptitude and 600,000 deaths. At least Justin Trudeau has never speculated about shipping COVID patients to Guantanamo. We cats HISS.
