A prominent cross-border lobby group wants Canada and the United States to join forces for an integrated North American approach to the new post-pandemic global economy.

The Washington-based Canadian American Business Council is building a new campaign to encourage a united economic front as the two countries battle back from the impact of COVID-19.

And while the Trump administration has promoted protectionism throughout the president's first term, the pandemic has fuelled nationalist sentiment in countries around the world, said Scotty Greenwood, the association's long-standing CEO and a veteran of the perpetual battle to represent Canadian interests stateside and U.S. interests in Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed Tuesday that the agreement would remain in place until at least June 21. But as businesses reopen and personal mobility restrictions ease on both sides of the border, talk is turning towards what it will look like when the agreement is finally allowed to lapse.

JT wont even try with trump because we wont have to deal with trump when hes voted out.

I guess the lefties hit this tweet first, figuring we shouldn't deal with the US any more. So how's those lessons in Mandarin going lefties?

Not for one dam would be a lopsided Trump gong show.Maybe after the Nov election results are validated & another person is prez.Canada is doing just fine.We don’t need any more shit from Trump. After all we’re still a security threat in Canada.

Yes, because taking a rabid ferret on meth anywhere sounds like fun

Not while Trump is still in office! Get rid of that crook and we might talk. The only 'deal' Trump seems capable of making tends to be illegal and will only enrich the Trump Crime Family or his oil cronies. No Thanks!

Please, let's leave the border closed. Essential traffic only. I'm sure they feel the same way.

Don't think the World's sole Superpower is going to listen to Zero influence and Pathetically Powerless Canada!!

Yes we have to work together!!

Keep the US foreigners out! ;)

Nope. Let us leave the covid-infested US to sort itself out before we open the border. Maybe after they stop lying about their stats as they have been doing. Looking at ya, FL.

When is the expected start date of this post Covid period considering the varied State response to the pandemic? Do businesses have information the rest of us don’t?

Just let's not make any rash decisions, at the moment, that require the use of 'good and fair' judgement.

No, we need to build a wall and make trump pay for it 😀

US doesn't want to listen to no one. At this point no discussion of the border being open needs to happen.
