I’m not suggesting that Canada open its borders to tourists. I’m just trying to understand why cruise ships would be kept out of Canadian waters. Fears over an outbreak onboard and the need for an emergency docking seem misplaced. I’m wondering what the real reason is. I guess we won’t know unless someone from the Canadian government says.
