An overwhelming majority of Canadians want their government to keep the border with the U.S. closed as the U.S. continues to be ravaged by the coronavirus.

In a poll released Wednesday by Nanos Research obtained by The Globe and Mail, 81 percent of Canadian adults called for the border to remain closed for non-essential travel.

Just 14 percent of respondents said that they would be supportive of the border opening in areas where infection rates are low, possibly signaling a broad mistrust for the U.S.'s handling of the pandemic.

Only 3 percent wished the border would open immediately without restrictions.

1. I don't blame them.

They should keep it closed. Just like the EU doesn't want us travelling there.

2. There's no escape.

We are trapped here unless we want to go to another Covid ravaged nation. Nobody wants anything to do with us thanks to Trump.

3. Canada's new infection rate is

about 300 per day and has been around that number for several weeks now. Daily deaths are in the single digits.

Is it any wonder we don't want to re-open US border?
