Haha, I love it, and I do cordially welcome you to the full 'DQF Experience,' brought to you today by the reigning Triumvirate of Incompetence & Inadequacy: Trudeau-Hajdu-Tam.

A few beginning pointers for new inmates:

(1.) They serve hot-breakfast to internees in here at 0800hrs, & then their 'nurse' requires your oral temp be taken ~15mins later; so the smart money in here waits to eat/drink anything hot until after the morning temp reading's been taken, otherwise one risks being made to re-start one's 14d incarceration. So one has to learn to enjoy cold porridge, and to forgo coffee/tea until after the morning oral temp-reading hurdle's been cleared.

(2.) Smell any & all food served before eating it, as the Canadian Red Cross has said that they're totally fine with detainees being served foodstuffs that are past their Best Before dates, and apparently it makes no difference to them how long any past-BB dairy's been in the bag at room temp before being brought to one. (Btw, you'll never actually see a Red Cross person here in-the-flesh, because they only interact with internees remotely by phone/www.)

(3.) Whenever one hears another inmate shouting/screaming or hitting their doors/walls in apparent anger/frustration, be ready to call Security (DQF security requirements are currently being provided by "GardaWorld," which is actually the same Canadian security company that's had the federal security contract for our consular security in Kabul).

So just a few pointers there to get you started on your new Experience, haha.

I suppose the idea is to make the whole experience fairly unpleasant to discourage some of those who would maybe choose it over paying for an Airbnb themselves.

When Wayne and Schuster did their parody of Bridge on the River Kwai (Kwai Me a River), after a week in the hot box Johnny came out looking totally refreshed, and remarked "You pay a hundred dollars a night for a room like that at Expo!"

Yes indeed, it's certainly a far-from-pleasant Experience of Canadian federal governmental exemplary vindictiveness, retributiveness, & fraternal unkindness to inflict such conditions upon those who've lost their jobs in the past year, who haven't yet received their federal tax refunds for 2020, and who've spent the winter with friends south of the border where they were able to achieve fully-vaccinated status as overwintering guests down in the U.S., thereby to fortuitously have freed-up two domestic Canadian vaccine doses for one's compatriots. (Don't mention it, you're most welcome, & simply glad to have been of service.) And there's really nothing quite like hearing from a self-righteous & indignant brother taxpayer, haha.

I don’t understand why fully vaccinated people should have to quarantine. We will never get out of lockdown in this case. Double vaccine is as good as it gets, that’s the new best case scenario.

Would love my parents to meet their grandchild for the first time, but can’t put them through the risk of this.

Because they can still pass it on to people not yet vaccinated.

It changes as more people get vaccinated.

Sorry Mr C but I can’t understand why anyone eats wings….fat, gristle, skin, bone and a tiny amount of meat.

I agree with Mr.C that chicken wings are the best go-to messy finger food, the hotter the better.

could it be that chicken wings are strictly a man thing?

Neither the border guards (CBSA) nor the pubic health folk (PHAC) could've cared less about the border-crosser's vaccination status when I crossed back into Canada 11d ago. And they only cursorily looked at my espensive pre-arrival PCR result, so now I wish that I'd just done the cheaper quickie test instead. (I was double-Pfizered back in April, for free, with the shots being 3wks apart.)

Would happily try thy 'Wings Quarantine,' but if we're caught drinking in here we get charged for possessing contraband inside a federal facility.
