As SSM_DC5 has mentioned already:

Unlike air travel, for which proof of a negative COVID-19 test is required before boarding a flight to enter the U.S., no testing will be required to enter the U.S. by land or sea, provided the travellers meet the vaccination requirement, Higgins confirmed in a press conference on Wednesday.
Note that this is for entering into the US. At least for the time being, I think the current rules will still require Canadians returning to Canada -- regardless of method of travel -- to produce negative PCR test.

I wouldn't be surprised either way regardless of whether the Canadian rule (of negative PCR test) will be changed. Personally, I think it'd make more practical sense that no negative PCR test is required for land and sea crossings to make the border crossing even more of a clusterfuck than it would already be, but that would certainly increase the risks for local communities in both Canada and the US.

If that's the case, you're pretty much fucked for a day trip down there.

Fucking ridiculous.

Would it really though? We have covid everywhere. The guy that came across the border that's fully vaccinated and asymptomatic is going to do the same shit those of us that are here and in the same state. It might be different if they are coming into a community that doesn't have covid, but it's everywhere, it's rampant, and the guy from down the street in the restaurant, hockey game, etc, is just as likely to have it as the guy that drove down from Seattle. If anything, the local guy is more likely to be socializing with multiple local people in high transmission circumstances.

The return of RS KK run?!

Assuming they lift the requirements, I'd probably make a run down to Vancouver, WA to visit a relative since we haven't seen each other since the pandemic. I'd probably empty TJ so hard that people think I'm looting... just ask me for one after I make the run.

It’s a sweet “organic” or independent style grocery store.

I saw the feds are saying they’re probably not gonna drop negative test requirements for returning Canadians… day trips are practically out of the question if that’s the case

It's owned by Aldi's

It's just like a Choices or Nesters market if you remember those

Nothing special, but hype has ppl hooked, and no they don't ship to Canada, some guy opened a store to resell their goods here, and aldis went nuts trying to stop him

I guess if people are willing to drive 4 hours round trip to save 18c on gas, people are also willing to save 3$ on a gallon of milk and get some "non imported" starberries

Well I don’t know where you live, but I usually go to PR to get packages and while I’m there take a 10 minute detour to fill up on gas… and Tsawwassen is less than 30 minutes drive.

And some tacos what used to be off a truck at Chevron lot in Blaine but now they moved to a building (if they survived Covid that is). Or BBQ oysters at Drayton Harbour Oyster Company. Top off with soft ice cream at Edaleen. All within a big block of each other ... simple pre-Covid pleasures of life. Cheap gas is bonus after all this ... ha!

Latest news from the White House about the fully opened land and air border:

The White House has confirmed the U.S. land and air border will officially open to fully vaccinated Canadians on Nov. 8.

Assistant Press Secretary Kevin Munoz confirmed the news in a tweet, that all foreign national travelers will have to be fully vaccinated to travel to the U.S.

Well, that will require at least 650cc and a helmet to get the full pleasurable experience.

That just totally sucks. If one of the goals of the policy is to help the border communities revive their economy, keeping the mandatory negative PCR test is gonna kill all the day trips, and day trips / short trips are precisely the stuff that bolsters the border community economy.

The thing that separates TJ with other grocery stores is that they have a lot of "in-house" products where they approach (or vice-versa) a manufacturer to produce certain products to their specifications.

And often, they are just yummmm and you can't get it anywhere else.

Also, they have a lot of relatively cheap prepped, small pack veggies... those are godsend for working parents or people who like to get their hands oily but hate the food prep in the kitchen. It saves so much time and the portion is just right. Yes, it's more expensive, but you use it exactly to the amount prepared and nothing goes to waste.

Many of their products are also comparable to say Whole Food in quality. At least their lamb is always pretty good. I haven't ventured into steaks, but I've heard good things

In short, a hippie grocer.

^^ This

Before the pandemic closed down the border, didn't we have a Trader Joe's thread here on RS describing all the yummy finds that RSers like? I've certainly picked up more than a few items based on those recommendations.

Gosh... I am really craving for some of those TJ snacks now...

Called out my first clown of the entire pandemic today lol

Happened at My usual sushi joint in new west I go to, was finishing up eating and heard some old guy raising his voice to the young hostess because whatever had had wasn’t what she was asking for, he finally asks “What so I can’t dine here then?!?!?” She’s like no sorry and walked away, handled it about as well as you could

The guy is probably mid to late 60’s, typical kinda decrepit old white guy. I’ve been going to this place for like 3 years on a weekly basis and all the women who work front of the house couldn’t be nicer etc. so kinda pissed me off people giving them attitude.

The guy is out front kinda storming around digging in his wallet for whatever they asked for, I just walked by and said look bud this shit ain’t new don’t give them trouble, we’re 2 months into it. He kind is taken aback and tells me to shut up lol

I give him the old, simmer down “pops” you’ll throw something out, and smiled at him, could tell he was boiling over lol..hopefully didn’t go back in and make it worse for them lol
Fucking clown

I'll likely drop by for some takeout sometime this weekend as I'll be in the area.
