BIRD TALK

Hi. Just received my summer issue and reading the letter from J. Ross Quigley.
Note that he indicates in the third paragraph that the border to the United States is now open, which it is not. Please review any publishing for corrections beforehand, as this sends a very definite different message than what we are getting from our government. If it can’t be proven, then please don’t publish.

Thank you,
Seymone Armstrong

Ed.: We received a dozen letters such as yours, Seymone, so I was perhaps not as clear as I could have been. Most of my facts are facts; my opinions, however, are mine alone. The U.S. border is open if you fly, and hopefully I was clear on that point. Several airlines, including Air Canada and WestJet, are flying regular flights to U.S. destinations, every single day. Canadians are having no problems getting on the plane or getting off the plane, although the normal security has been heightened somewhat. We are working on approved vehicle access.
