I don't think there's much of a prayer of it happening any sooner.  Folks I talk with in Ontario (as well as their radio stations I stream) indicate THEY don't want the border opened anytime soon.  I can't say I blame them.  One of my outfitter friends tells me that he will not run "truck shuttles" this year under any circumstances, regardless of where his customers come from (if they come).

I hold 2 Quetico permits, the 1st is for a June 22nd entry.  I've already given up on that and have made other plans. My second permit, also for Quetico, is for a late July entry. While I am somewhat more hopeful about it's prospects, I still have a Plan B.

I hope the U.S. Forest Service will follow suit with the Minnesota governor's decisions as he relaxes his stay at home restrictions as they apply to camping... though I cannot say I fully understand the implications of his announcements made yesterday. I'm hoping for clarification today. I think there is a shot that the BWCA will open in June.

We'll soon see.

Be safe!

   That's kind of funny in a twisted ironic way.
Much of the goods in CAN are shipped east-west by truck, maybe more than even the US.

I would wager you go to any CAN truck stop ( US too) and you'll find plenty of CAN who fuel those long drives with less say " diet pills" 

  Those truckers stop at rest stops all along their routes. The eat/shower and interact with plenty of people every trip. One Covid-19 infected trucker could do a lot of damage.

  The CAN like to think they hold the high moral ground on just about everything, but you look close they just mimic us on a smaller scale.

Good news, I suppose. We'll all keep our fingers crossed.
