A new poll by pollster Research Co. found that out of 1,000 Canadians surveyed online at the end of August, a whopping 90 per cent agreed with the current Canada-U.S. border closure to non-essential traffic. The show of support comes at a time when several Canadian border cities are licking their wounds over a loss of U.S. tourism. Despite the economic impact, Jim Diodati, the mayor of Niagara Falls, Ont., supports the border closure. The Canada-U.S. border closure to non-essential traffic expires on Sept. 21. Since then, the U.S. numbers have declined — but Canadian support for the border closure hasn't.
