For you riders who have been hoping to ride into Canada this year, may be on the horizon....as long as the Canadian Border Patrol does not go on strike:

On September 7, 2021, provided that the domestic epidemiologic situation remains favourable, the Government intends to open Canada’s borders to any fully vaccinated travellers who have completed the full course of vaccination with a Government of Canada-accepted vaccine at least 14 days prior to entering Canada and who meet specific entry requirements.



As a first step, starting August 9, 2021, Canada plans to begin allowing entry to American citizens and permanent residents, who are currently residing in the United States, and have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to entering Canada for non-essential travel. This preliminary step allows for the Government of Canada to fully operationalize the adjusted border measures ahead of September 7, 2021, and recognizes the many close ties between Canadians and Americans.

Turns out, Canada is about to see labour unrest at the border. The Canadian Border Services Agency (aka CBSA—Canada’s equivalent to the Border Patrol) has voted to strike, after three years without a contract. They could strike as early as August 6, before the border opens to US traffic.
 
Honestly we are having second thoughts about riding up to Nova Scotia, largely because of the Delta/Indian variant Covid surge. We are fully vaccinated and not worried about ourselves, more we are worried about getting to the border and getting stuck, or getting over the border and getting stuck coming back. This now complicates that situation even more.

We may just do a slow circle around the state of Michigan or some other such ride that keeps us on the US side of the border?
