For the RV - depending on time of year - less than an airbnb. A decent size cabin tent will set you back around $350 - the rest of the equipment about $300 (less if you buy 2nd hand before you go then ask parents to erect and set it up on your return) - so yes, cheaper than an airbnb again.. and you can use it again later

Was this the kind of thing you were looking for? (price may depend on time of year, obviously) https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/32740416...QZm%2FU2dZgbDp
or this.. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2967961...out=2021-08-21
$1,157 for 2 weeks in August 2021 There are lots out there... depends what you want to pay

Based on the polls with most Canadian's not wanting the 14 day lifted or the border to be opened, it may not be of benefit to the current government to do so, especially with talk about a snap election, I kind of think at this point the current government is doing what it can to keep its lead over the conservatives with hopes of possibly having an election and gaining a majority, just a guess though.

But maybe they won't and let it quietly expire? Is it due to expire in like 4 days? I can't find anything recent, everything is from June and July in regards to it.

The US border being closed is different then the self-isolation requirement though. I have no desire to go to US and it can stay closed for the next year for all I care, I only want to travel to "covid safe" destinations

JSmth is correct - there has not been anything said about the international (non-US specific) requirement to self isolate.

Thank you. Second option looks good, first one i am not sure if they will let you quarantine when you are technically in the same dwelling as someone else?

But yeah something like the second place. Or even a cottage on a body of water but I know that would be $$$
I don't see them letting it expire quietly and not introducing something else eg mandatory negative test before boarding flight to canada OR mandatory quarantine 3-5 days then cleared by negative test. Both of which would make perfect sense and be in line with other countries and (some) US states.

Welcome! I think there are lots around but the price will depend on when you need it for (and yes, a lakeside one would be wonderful ) .. some are quite reasonable, especially off season and there are sometimes bargains to be had

The US / Can border is restricted until 21st September..

It's pretty much the same situation to me. Also, sadly there are too many in this forum who are in favour of the 14 day quarantine regulation.

It's either "don't go back to Canada" at all, or "don't get caught within 14 days of arrival". Other choices I don't have. It's simply impossible for me to spend 14 days in a room, in an apartment regardless of what others are doing, have done, or what the law says in this matter.

I'd say the Canadian government should better come clean with the public that the 14 day quarantine in the case of return form countries other than the US is "here to stay indefinitely" until a vaccine is found and not postpone the decision every one to two months.

Realistically we would be talking about early to mid 2021. And even then and judging by the Canadian government's past behaviour they would doubt the vaccination certificate and the effectiveness of the vaccine itself, same as they doubt testing at airports. At this point I only have irony.

It's not the Canada I have gotten to know in the past. Also the statement "scientific evidence" seems only to be there to shield anything from incompetence to the wish not to question certain decisions.

Sorry, I don't understand this. Why are you sad because 'too many' people on a forum don't see quarantine the same way you do?

OrangeMango

Why are you so sad, that some people have a different opinion in this?

If one doesn't want to pay for a hotel/place to spend the 14 days, sounds like the government is providing pretty nice hotel accommodations for those without a suitable place to quarantine, everything brought to you food wise and seems if you need basic supplies those are provided as well as health check 2 times each day with a nurse.

Er, I didn't write about anything being sad, you did! Why is it sad that 'too many' people on a forum don't see quarantine the same way you do?

OrangeMango

Er, I think I wrote it in many posts before, that the kind of Canada, the people, the government, the laws, I have gotten to know before, I don't recognize again. This is sadness, it's not joy.

Sorry for being blunt of if it offends you, but if you can't read what I wrote, I can't help you.

spouse of scouse

You're not being blunt, you're being incomprehensible, and I have no idea where you get the idea that I might be offended

Despite me asking twice you still didn't answer my question about why the number of people on this forum (which according to you is 'too many') who are in favour of the quarantine rules is a matter for sadness. As in - what difference does it make to you what other people think, or how many of them there are?

Never mind though, I've completely lost interest

OrangeMango

I am afraid, I find your posting also incomprehensible. :-)

Gozit

I agree with this. If it is going to be indefinite then come out and say it, they are being pretty vague about it.
