I have no problem with closing to foreigners. Having a 3rd wave shouldn't really matter. In the list of priorities, a quarantine to fully vaccinated people with negative covid test before and after the flight, should be at the bottom of the list. (assuming the vaccine is approved by the Canadian FDA or whatever they follow in Canada). According to the OP, they require 14 days quarantine including 3 days at an expensive hotel? I mean, seriously WTF... If they said 3 days quarantine at home followed by a negative test then I would say OK. But what the OP is describing is madness. No other word for it.
- novok 6y agoThe point is to put a financial penalty to Canadians traveling internationally without actually putting a restriction on travel, since it's against the Canadian charter and would be difficult politically to do so. As to why they put in the hotel requirement, it was in response to political controversy. It's not organized well and you can actually skip it if you come in by land or just pay a cheaper $700 fine walk past the hotel counter in the airport so I've heard. The rest of the requirements have been there since the start and haven't been updated probably because barely anyone has been properly vaccinated in canada yet, and non-resident citizens can't vote.
