That's why we have 14 day quarantines across the country.

Arguably the clearest separation between a country like Canada and another like China is that Canada gives its citizens the freedom to do the right thing without resorting to oppression, persecution and mass surveillance. |

No, I am not supporting these ideas at all. I actually like reading your opinion and posts. I was only describing a worse case scenario and I am hoping that I am dead wrong and you are right.
In any case, I think we can safely assume that Canada isn't going to start e-tagging people. I wouldn't at all put it past the Trump administration or the current Australian government to do that but I really can't ever envisage Canada or the UK doing it. |

I am honestly frustrated about the 14 day quarantine especially when it doesn't really make any sense for somebody entering the country from another country with way lower infection rates. Also I am frustrated of the lack of consideration to air bridges whilst other countries have successfully implemented them. At the same time I am emotionally unable to comply with 14 days spending in just a hotel room, nor am I able to stay outside of Canada beyond September. Honestly, I'd even risk a jail sentence. Unless the regulation changes I will most certainly have to break this law and or risk getting caught. Thus my questions around this matter.

Never know, maybe by September they will have come up with some limited travel between certain countries.

Why do you have to return by September? Because of RO?
Don't know what RO stands for? It's simply financial, and a possible job waiting for me. Currently I am stranded in Europe. |

Doubtful unfortunately for as long as the US is in such a mess Coronavirus wise. Unlike Europe and the UK, I really can't envisage Canada opening up an international air bridge and leaving America in the dark. I'd love to be wrong though.

However sadly, it's the political thinking in Canada, that apparently US goes first, and then Europe, while it should be the other way.....
People under estimate how many jobs and people rely on tourism in BC. It may be a painful few years, hopefully or sectors can grow enough to create enough jobs for those lost in tourisim. |

I do wonder if Canada could attract enough tourists from elsewhere in the world, to make up for the loss of US tourists, if not a lot of places in BC that rely on tourism are going to suffer, not enough domestic tourism to keep most of these places going long term.

It's not just tourism, Canada is unfortunately extremely dependent on the US for a lot, most crucially trade and defence. Canada's lack of a backbone when it comes to affairs with America can sometimes be infruriating and even comical to us Brits and Europeans but you can't really blame Canada for taking that approach in the grand scheme of things.

Well, in Canada we managed a free trade deal with the EU, the CETA, the US doesn't have that for instance.

A jail sentence would surely put your potential job and PR at risk more than just waiting a while or quarantining as required? Not to mention that if your reason for returning is financial, wouldn't the potential enormous fine outweigh any financial benefit? |
