Oh Canada...

 As you might know our friendly, innocuous, inoffensive, poutine eating, neighbors to the north have approached COVID differently than we have.    Due to Canada's draconian policies we've seen pastors arrested for doing their jobs, a lumber shortage in the US made worse, and more.   I want to focus on just one aspect of this situation.


Since Canada has been closed, they have banned US citizens who own property in Canada from accessing their property.    I know that Canada doesn't share our constitutional protections regarding property, but doesn't the notion of a "free country" depriving property owners of access to their property seem a bit extreme?   Especially when they're still expecting that all of the taxes and fees be paid.


In one case, the property is on a lake that crosses the border between Canada and the US.   It's possible to take a boat across the border bypassing the border crossing stations that exist on the road entrances.   Guess what Canada has done.   They've installed radar and/or sonar in this lake (really all bodies of water that cross the border) and will intercept anyone who tries the water rout.   

Why is this draconian border control not drawing protests?  How can those folks who want increased cross border traffic with fewer restrictions sit silently by as Canada turns away everyone?
