Don't worry about redneck Kentuckans crossing the border...........they can't even find Canada on a map! To be fair, not sure they could find Kentucky either.....

Canada has been (militarily) invaded only once............and....well, we weren't Canada yet..........in 1812. 208 years and counting. Excepting the Brits burning down the now 'White House' in said conflict, I don't believe the U.S. has ever been invaded; though it was attacked at Pearl Harbour.

I can see Canada opening access to Europe and the Far East before opening access to the (dis-)United States of America.

I think it is naive to think that Canada wouldn't be heavily impacted by a conflict in the United States. Civil wars often have fall-out in neighbouring countries.
With regards to earlier discussion regarding police traffic stops and travel for non-essential purposes, the OPP stress that this is NOT something that they do. https://www.kitchenertoday.com/poli...or-man-impersonating-a-police-officer-2272928

Today's Ontario numbers:
Overall, good news continues with a couple of asterisks.
New Case Growth - 4.3%, this is down from 4.9% and was over 6% most of last week. Lowest growth we've seen in several weeks. (we're also up above 10,000 tests in the last 24 hours)
Total Hospitalizations: Up 2.2%; this is one of those asterisks, wrong direction, but not a huge shift. But worth keeping an eye on.
Total ICU down 2.8%, continuing a downward tragectory.
Total on ventilator: -1%
Resolved (no more symptoms, deemed clear of virus, now over 50% at 50.8%
37 more deaths, sadly a fairly typical number at this point, I think a few more days before we can hope for material decline of this number.

I agree with the sentiment about unlearned rednecks, but I doubt many Canadians could find Kentucky on a map. Not a proportionally fair comparison to be sure, but just saying

Maybe the Toronto police could hire this guy? Since the cops couldn't catch this idiot in a mustang doing donuts. The cops were right on his bumper!

Goodness, after the shooting in Nova Scotia anyone impersonating a police officer and pulling over cars or stopping people is looking to be stomped.

It's likely they took off at very high speed and the police declined to pursue to create a dangerous chase situation on narrow streets. There's ample video to use and determine who was in the cars and ID licence plates.
1st Known U.S. COVID-19 Death Was Weeks Earlier Than Previously Thought
The first U.S. COVID-19 death took place on Feb. 6, an autopsy shows. The person died at home in Santa Clara County, Calif., at a time when testing in the U.S. was tightly limited.
