pet food."Some of them would just be shopping in Portland, and we'd hear that they had been here, or they'd write us and they'd be asking, 'How can I order your food online with the border closed?" the B.C.-born McCarron said in a recent interview.
McCarron clearly already had expansion on her mind before the pandemic hit. Portland products are already available in Japan, and she recently signed an agreement for distribution in China. Korea and Taiwan are next on her list. McCarron is at a loss to explain why the U.S. continues to deny Canadians the ability to drive across the border for holidays, day trips or shopping excursions -- a restriction the federal Canadian government began easing over the summer for fully vaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents.The U.S. Travel Association says the ongoing closure of the Mexican and Canadian land borders is costing U.S. businesses an estimated $1.
"We are very mindful of the economic consequences, and not only the economic consequences but the consequences on family members who haven't seen one another for quite some time," Mayorkas replied. "We have heard similar concerns with respect to border communities on the South and the impact, economic and family impact, of the restrictions. We are looking at what we can do operationally, and we are moving in a very sequential and controlled manner."
"It's obviously significantly negative to the U.S. economy as well, and that's something that we've continued to articulate."
At the value of Canadian dollar why would you even want to cross border shop
Just let us drive over….geez!!

US looking after Canadians
I think that waiting a few more weeks is a good thing! The Americans have to get a grip on the virus, before they can safely have visitors! Will wait and see what the latter part of October brings us.
