Loading ...Jarvis: The border isn’t really opening, at least not for everyone (check this out — what BS!!!)
The United States will open its land border to non-essential travellers from Canada on Nov. 8. All Canadians have to do is prove they’re vaccinated. But to return to Canada, they’ll have to also provide a negative molecular COVID-19 test, like a PCR test, within 72 hours before crossing. That costs up to $200.
“What no one can defend, and Kusmiercyzk didn’t even try, is this inane rule: If you know you’ll be in the U.S. for less than 72 hours, you can take your test here — before you leave Canada.
How does that protect our country? It doesn’t.
You could join tens of thousands of people at the Detroit Lions game on Thanksgiving and hordes of Black Friday shoppers the next day, eat and drink at busy restaurants and bars between football and shopping, all in a country with a higher infection rate and lower vaccination rate, and return to Canada without taking another test.
Readers who emailed me went berserk over this.”
