Jul 17, 2024, 06:51 PM

The United States has introduced new border rules for dogs entering the country, effective August 1. The regulations have sparked concerns in Canada, with Health Minister Mark Holland stating that Canada was 'surprised and blindsided' by the announcement. The Canadian government, including the Liberals, is actively seeking an exemption from these rules. Despite initial strict requirements, the U.S. has since eased some of the regulations following bipartisan efforts, including a letter to the CDC. The new rules could impact thousands, including Canadian truckers crossing the Northern Border.
