The underground tunnels in Canada’s most notorious city have always been open to Americans, including rumoured hotshot gangsters – and they want to keep it that way.

The Tunnels of Moose Jaw, along with other businesses in the city of roughly 35,000 people west of Regina, say they’re in line with a new campaign to welcome Canada’s southern neighbours at a time when tariffs have pushed elbows up.

It’s not personal, it’s just business.

“It’s typical of Moose Jaw, this open arms approach,” said Bobby Hill, general manager at the tunnels, in a recent interview.

The City of Humboldt announces a road closure today for Main Street from 5th to 6th Avenue. A detour has been set up to accommodate traffic.

Previous occurrences have been found in Ontario and Nova Scotia.

Early on in the pandemic, as the federal government moved at breakneck speed to respond to a global health crisis, it issued rush orders for these Mobile Health Units.
