Border city mayors say the federal government's ArriveCAN app for tracking cross-border COVID cases is undermining their economies. Government has 'punished border communities': criticBarbara Barrett is executive director of the Frontier Duty Free Association, the industry association for Canada's land border duty free shops. "Inexplicably, this federal government has punished border communities with inconsistent and incoherent border travel rules." Bradley said mayors of border communities used to meet regularly with the federal government during the pandemic. Congressman Brian Higgins, whose district includes Buffalo and Niagara Falls, echoed the call to scrap the ArriveCAN app.
