After showing up 40 minutes late to a press conference right outside his front door today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that foreign travellers will be temporarily banned from setting foot on Canadian soil, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

(Several exemptions were made for Americans and travellers en route to a third country.)

Many consider these sweeping announcements to be too little too late, with large numbers of "community spread" of the coronavirus already occurring domestically.

At this time, no indication has been given to suggest the notorious border crossing at Roxham Road has been closed.
