Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and other officials from Alaska urged Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ease restrictions that currently keep state residents who are being affected by current pandemic-related border closures from a variety of essential activities.
In a letter, the four-person delegation urged Trudeau to allow Alaskans to be able to travel south and transit through Canada for the winter for medical treatments, and allow people living in isolated border towns to visit family, access essential supplies, attend school, receive medical care, and attend religious services in a “travel bubble.”
