Canada to bar entry to non-residents (except US)

Don't let perfect be the enemy of better-than-nothing. Especially when we're talking about individual truckers vs. tens of thousands of close packed poor-environment-suffering groups of people in transit hubs.

Disallowing close-packed passenger travel while still allowing essential logistics _curbs_ even if it does not halt. Just because it's not the solution doesn't mean it's not worth doing.

I agree with you in general.

I'm saying that, epidemiologically speaking, Canada and the US should be treated as one entity. This is probably the case for border regions of Mexico as well, though I see no reason to allow flights to or from D.F. at the moment.

If (it's probably when) we start to see domestic travel restrictions, curbing transport between states, that's a good time to restrict the border as well.
