The Editor:
In your front-page article, “Cross-border traffic ticks up,” you note that the U.S. border is open to Canadians and that they do not need a Covid-19 test if they remain in the U.S. for under 72 hours. This is good news for the local economy.
I also noticed that prior to the Canadian government waiving the Covid-19 test requirement to return, all of our local, state and federal politicians were encouraging Canada to reconsider the requirement. This political pressure worked.
Where are these same politicians asking Canada to waive the Covid-19 test for Americans wanting to cross the border for a short visit?
For fully vaccinated Americans, I see no critical concern for Canada for short-term U.S. citizen border crossings. Political pressure works.
