I was disappointed when I heard that the Cdn border was opening in August at a time when the effects of the latest two variants are just getting
legs.
I think the pressure US was putting on Canada may have been part of the deal.....as well as an election looming for this fall. Another example perhaps
of political influence over medicine and science.... ?
Who knows? Lots of opinions, I am sure.

That has been my interpretation, not that US citizens could
not return to the US, but not be allowed into Mex as a tourist
with non essential travel, which last I checked is all of us.
Can't imagine the pressure the Cape resorts put on the Mex
Govt. to open up

but not many. I suspect the people receiving the vaccine are very thankful to the US.

I bet the border restrictions would have been lifted yesterday if the virus hadn't mutated into the delta variant.

"In a move that has angered Juárez business leaders, the Mexican government took 1.35 million vaccines donated by the U.S. for use in border cities
and sent them all to the state of Baja California."

I think she deserves a medal for her exceptional leadership. |
Unfortunately, Dr. Henry is only a provincial health officer - not a Canada Health Minister. Recent developments in other provinces show quite a
substantial level of incompetence.
Alberta are removing all restrictions - you don't need wear a mask in public indoor spaces and on transit, and don't need to self-isolate when
infected.
Saskatchewan did (almost) the same - you no longer need to self-isolate when infected, provided you are fully vaccinated and don't have symptoms.

I just read an article a few days ago where president AMLO said that Mexico will not be doing vaccine passports and that entry requirements for
visitors will remain the same. He still has over three years left in his term, so I seriously doubt Americans will ever be barred from entering
Mexico.
I'm planning on going this winter but am still undecided on whether I want to drive to Baja or to Teotihuacan. If I go to Baja I'll have to put in a
leave of absence due to the length of the trip while Teotihuacan is easily doable by just taking paid vacation.
