> Can you give examples of these "ridiculous" covid measures?
Canada has the strictest and most absurd covid policies regarding air traveling in the whole G20. Everyone else has relaxed the measures in 2022, but us.
You must take and provide a negative PCR test at your arrival in Canada, even if you are double/triple vaccinated (with proof from vaccine passport). Other results than PCR are invalid and it must be less than 72 hours. You must also register this information in ArriveCAN system (https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan.html https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/cor...) 72 hours prior to arrival or otherwise prone to penalty up to $75k or 14 days quarantine.
On top of that, you can be randomly selected for an additional PCR test at your arrival, which you must then quarantine yourself and wait for the results, which in some cases have been reported to take up to 6-10 days.
