zReportage.com Story of the Week #767: TUESDAY December 22, 2020: ‘LOVE KNOWS NO BORDERS’ from ZUMA Press award winning photographer David Tesinsky who specializes in sub-cultures, social topics and tells the stories that need to be told for ZUMA Wire Service: It started, for Julie Arps (American) and Lynt Harris (Canadian) like many modern relationships do, with a smile and then a swipe. But the fairy tale ended when the coronavirus pandemic forced the Canada and U.S. governments to close the land borders to all nonessential visitors. When Julie first messaged Lynt on the dating app ‘Plenty of Fish’, the world around them was growing increasingly unrecognizable due to the pandemic. Currently, Canada prohibits most foreigners from entering the country for nonessential travel. The government relaxed the rules to allow foreigners who do not have COVID-19 to visit immediate family in Canada, including spouses and common-law partners. Now thousands of unmarried committed couples are demanding Canada’s government give them exemption from the travel restrictions too. Welcome to: ‘LOVE KNOWS NO BORDERS’
