Best covid news story in a long time.

Wont believe until it's TRUE.  I'm sure another series of delays with lame ass excuses will follow

Don’t forget the fine print...

There are additional requirements to enter Canada, including that travelers must:

• Provide COVID-19 related information such as proof of vaccine through ArriveCAN's app or web portal before departing for Canada.
• Meet pre-entry testing requirements.
• Be asymptomatic when arriving.
• Submit a quarantine plan.
• Be ready to quarantine if necessary.

Funny how you don’t hear about the 72 hour window requirement still in place for a negative test. Certainly not in the headlines and barely in the fine print.

It is still a good news story.  Fingers crossed things don't go sideways for any reason between now and snow!

I understand people not wanting to get vaccinated, but since I’m vaccinated, I refuse to go anywhere or do anything that requires a test. And I was hoping to bring my chainsaw and help groomer out for a few days, but I guess it will be next year, mon ami...

[smclelan 1,307]

I understand, it is a matter of principal. However it would be a sin to miss out on another winter of sledding in PQ.  As vaccination percentages increase regulations should decrease. Hopefully.

Our local news says you just need your vax card and be prepared to be randomly tested.

If you look at it from the point of view that you would submit to a road side check stop for alcohol levels? Maybe? Protecting other people. It's a new world out there. Congrats on the vaccinations.

Travel into Canada still hasn't been approved by the clown in charge.   Say goodbye to another season.

Not sure I understand? If Canada says we can go, we can go, not matter what the US says. Our government hasn’t cleared the way for Canadians to come into the US, maybe that’s what u mean?

The same news station that yesterday said u don’t need a negative test, just open to a random test, now says u need a negative test.

Yes it's all a farce.  My brother's a paramedic.  Explain that to him.  He just moved a 50 year old patient between ICU wards.  Guy had no pre-existing health conditions before covid.  Looks like he will survive, but will need a ventilator for the balance of his life as his lungs are toast.  He's seen many 30 and 40 year olds dealing with blot clots and the related strokes they cause.  Not the 1 in 100,000 from the Astra Zeneca shot.  The 1 in 5 for covid patients that get admitted to hospital that this occurs to.  Again no pre-existing health issues with the majority of these patients.  The media has reported the deaths.  What has got far less attention is the folks that survived and are now screwed.  Without your health you have nothing.  Every government in the developed world got together to create this big conspiracy.  Come on.  Enough with the rhetoric.  Covid has become far too political.  Vote for who you want, but how can so many be ignoring scientific fact.  This virus kills people or leaves them in very bad shape.  Vaccination pretty much stops all of that. 

Welcome back American snowmobilers.  Sorry you still need a covid test, but a small price to pay to get to come play in the north.

This.  Unless you lived it, or treated it, you really don't understand what's going on.  Sensationalism and data picking on both sides.
