An overwhelming majority of Canadians want their government to keep the border with the U.S. closed as the U.S. continues to be ravaged by the coronavirus.
In a poll released Wednesday by Nanos Research obtained by The Globe and Mail, 81 percent of Canadian adults called for the border to remain closed for non-essential travel.
Just 14 percent of respondents said that they would be supportive of the border opening in areas where infection rates are low, possibly signaling a broad mistrust for the U.S.'s handling of the pandemic.
Only 3 percent wished the border would open immediately without restrictions.

Is it any wonder we don't want to re-open US border?
