WATERTOWN — The Canadian government announced Thursday that the country will begin allowing vaccinated Americans to cross its borders for nonessential travel starting Aug. 9 — months after calls from American leaders to end the border closure. As vaccination rates rose and infection rates for COVID-19 dropped, officials including Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, and a litany of local leaders from the north country, called for Canada to welcome Americans back into their country, and allow Canadians to cross into and out of the United States. Those first steps seem to be coming soon, but the White House pumped the brakes Monday. According to the Associated Press, White House Press Secretary Jennifer R. Psaki said the U.S. would not commit to reopening their side of the border on Aug. 9.
