St. Stephen's Mayor Allan McEachern issued a warning, reminding residents to be vigilant.
“We want everyone to know to be alert and aware of any strange activity,” he said.
The Canadian warnings come as more than 350 state and federal law enforcement officials in the United States continue to search for Card, who is believed to have been captured on surveillance footage during the massacre at two separate locations in Lewiston.
On October 26, the Coast Guard announced that it had sent a boat crew from Boothbay Harbor and a winged aircraft from Cape Cod to search.
Card, an experienced outdoor enthusiast and marksman in the U.S. Army Reserve, owns a Sea-Doo personal watercraft registered in his name and previously registered a Bay Liner boat.
But after hours of searching, authorities found “nothing unusual,” said Chief Petty Officer Ryan Smith, in charge of Coast Guard Station Boothbay Harbor.
Rick Goddard, Card's longtime neighbor, said he was "capable of hiding for a long time if he didn't want to get caught."
“This is his hometown of Bowdoin,” Goddard said. “I mean, he grew up here.” He knows the area very well. He is capable of hiding for a long time if he does not want to be caught. There are many places in the forest where you can be and not be noticed. This is a really thick, dense forest. If you know the area, there are many places to hide. You will never be able to see something like this from an airplane or helicopter."
“The trees are so close together that you can barely walk through them. The forest is so dense that you can't see in it. If I was going to hide, this is what I would do. I would hide in a place like this,” he added.
Police said Card appeared to be "engaging with conspiracy content" online.
Topics he discussed included the financial crisis, LGBTQ+ issues, gun rights, and comments about President Biden and other Democratic lawmakers.

Three more people wounded at the two locations were later pronounced dead at local hospitals, and 13 others suffered gunshot wounds, including a 10-year-old girl.
“We believe this is a person who should not be approached,” warned Maine State Police Col. William Ross.
