New Zealand, Australia and Canada retained the most restrictive policies on vaccination the longest. However, today Canada announced they are finally loosening the totalitarian fiats and permitting travelers to enter the country without proof of vaccination.
New measures begin October 1st.
(The Hill) — Canada is lifting its testing, quarantine and vaccination requirements at the border, a step in rolling back pandemic restrictions designed to stave off the spread of COVID-19, the government announced Monday.
Starting Oct. 1, international travelers will be able to enter Canada without providing proof of vaccination, taking a pre-arrival test or undergoing quarantine, according to a government release. Compulsory masking on domestic planes and trains will also end, as will a longstanding requirement to share health information with the Canadian government via its ArriveCAN application prior to entry.
The move comes as many countries attempt to ease out of the strict restrictions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic even as the virus continues to circulate. (read more)
SoyBoy Trudeau must have gotten sick and tired of being called a tyrant and fascist …
Let the history rewriting begin.
Never forget what these people did…..
I’ve always wondered: why not immediately?
I hope no one forgets about this.
Sadly there are people around me now who have no idea what was going on in Canada or Australia or New Zealand.
I will be impressed when Trudeau gives up his pandemic emergency authorities and has to gain permission from his Parliament to get that power back. Fat chance for that to ever happen.
Thank You Truckers. This never gets old…
Why not today, Trudeau? What’s the point of waiting until next week?
Live in US border state and family spends a whole lot of time up north in what we call the “borderwaters” pretty much all year long.
Absolutely insane the border has been restricted for so long. Know multiple property owners that own land in both the US and CA in which only the one person on the CA property deed has been allowed to step foot on their CA property.
What’s more insane is the fact that there is no human being living outside one mile-deep (maybe) into the CA border. The woods are so thick and the nearest town in CA is Atikokin, Ontario which is 90KM north of the closest shoreline to the town.
Many stories of CA cabin / resort owners trying to buy land, cabins, resorts in US because they were stopped from using them or opening the resorts.
This past Summer was “better”, but should have never been “bad” to begin with…
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand all need to add a U.S. style bill of rights to their constitutions.
They also need something in their constitutions establishing that rights are God given and are inalienable.
In the U.S., that fact is stated in the Declaration of Independence. Since Canada, Australia, and New Zealand don’t have declarations of independence, their constitutions would be the logical place to state this.
I haven’t checked Australia and New Zealand, but Canada’s Charter of Rights is milquetoast compared to the U.S. Bill of Rights.
I sometimes listen to the Richard Syrett Show, which is a grassroots conservative Canadian talk show based in Toronto.
Richard interviewed one of the framers of the Canadian Charter of Rights and that person said that Justin Trudeau’s father, Pierre Trudeau, actively worked to water down the Charter of Rights as he was the prime minister when the Charter of Rights was being drafted.
