MSM blatherings that suggest travel is banned when it is not banned.
Here are the Canadian politicians facing questions over travel amid COVID-19 restrictions

The 'pandemic' was over months ago.
-
The 'restrictions' do not amount to a ban on travel.
-
Don't blame the restrictons on a virus - blame it on government.
-
What kind of doublespeak is this - 'required public health advice'? Either it is advice or it is something else.
The real problem is not that some citizens have travelled but that this so-called 'required public health advice' is treated like a ban on any travel even on travel that does not contradict said advice. Travel is NOT banned.
Canadians need to challenge the restrictions as these are NOT justified in the first place.
It will get worse as the government plans to make it worse. Don't blame 'COVID-19'. Blame the government.
New COVID-19 testing rules for air travellers kick in Jan. 7

Travellers over the age of 5 will have to obtain a negative PCR test before arrival in Canada.
Under the new rule, travellers must receive a negative result on a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test โ the standard nose swab test for detecting active COVID-19 infections โ within 72 hours of boarding a flight to Canada.
Travellers who can prove that they were unable to get a test abroad will have to quarantine for 14 days at a federally-approved facility upon their arrival.
Documentation of a negative test result must be presented to the airline prior to boarding a flight to Canada, according to a government news release.
"While [the government hasn't] said it's forbidden by law, they strongly recommend people not travel. And industry is basically saying, come on down, the flights are open, weather's nice, it's nice and warm in the sunny Caribbean," he [John Gradek, a former Air Canada executive] said.
On Wednesday, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc said it will be up to travellers to arrange for PCR tests themselves, given that those embarking on non-essential trips overseas have chosen already to flout public health guidelines.
"The government of Canada obviously is not in a position to set up in hotels or all-inclusive resorts or Canadian consulates," he told CBC News.
The new rule does not replace Canada's mandatory 14-day quarantine period for international travellers, which remains in force.
Garneau also said Thursday the government will be boosting its surveillance efforts to make sure travellers are following the rules. The penalties for breaking the Quarantine Act can include six months in prison or $750,000 in fines.
Bloc Quรฉbรฉcois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet said Thursday that the testing requirement should apply to all travellers, not just those arriving by air.

Yeh, so CANUCKS are you okay with politicians pushing for greater restrictions on your freedom of movement? What are you going to do about it?
The PCR is not a bonafide test for infection, nor for illness, nor even for viral load such as to assess contagiousness. The basis for the house of cards is PCR. And its bullshit.
Don't need MORE PCR. Need NO PCR. For fucks sake, it is not medically sound to diagnose with PCR; in fact, there is no good sense in testing healthy people who show no symptoms. A doctor meets his patient, listens to complaints/symptoms, observes - checks out the lungs or whatnot - and then assesses. If a test would be useful, the doctor can recommend it. But there is no set of symptoms unique to 'COVID-19' and no defintive symptom by which to diagnose this supposed illness. The clincian might reat symptoms, depending on the overall health of the patient, but is not likely to recommend any treatment if the patient shows no symptoms and is not ill.
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Cannuckers, what are you going to do about this bullshit?
