The overall tone of the thread is about logistics in a port city that is the main port of entry to Canada. Individually, the testing requirements are very disruptive, but it's one less issue that may have impacted supply chains within the BC lower mainland, and an avenue to ship goods out, albeit more expensively.
This isn't (generally speaking) a thread about COVID restrictions, but if you want to sound off about that more, feel free, but it shouldn't be a shock that in a) a global pandemic, and b) a series of natural disasters, that no one really gives a fuck about how inconvenient travel has become for non-essential activities.
- Mikeb85 5y agoFair enough. My responses might be slightly shaped by the fact I was going to drive to Vancouver next week to visit a friend and am flying to Europe in 2 weeks. > that no one really gives a fuck about how inconvenient travel has become for non-essential activities Plenty of people do. Hence why so many countries (literally the whole EU) are trying to facilitate travel.
- ygjb 5y agoI'm sorry, I didn't realize that the EU was impacted by a massive critical infrastructure failure induced by a natural disaster. Like I said, this isn't a discussion or debate about COVID restrictions, and while it sucks that you might be temporarily inconvenienced in relation to your travel plans, as a person who lives and works in the lower mainland and has several friends and family members who are either homeless or temporarily stranded, temporary travel inconveniences rank somewhere between "oh well", and "could you please not, while we clean up?".
