OTTAWA — As Canada and the U.S. move to extend the border closure by another month, more than 12,000 Americans have been turned away at our shared border — and almost half of them were coming to Canada to sightsee, shop or have some fun, despite the ongoing pandemic.
The number has continued to climb since CTV News first reported last month that more than 10,000 U.S. citizens attempted non-essential border crossings.
According to the latest figures sent to CTVNews.ca by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), 12,819 U.S. citizens have been turned away from our shared border between March 22 and August 5.
