The double masked glove wearing officer sent me on my way the moment she heard we're unvaccinated she took no chances. No ArriveCan no tests no quarantine

"Up to provincial authorities to decide about mask mandates, Tam says"

Last week a full van had an interesting twist, the border patrol asked them "do you have proof of vaccination" they said no, he asked why? They said because in Canada it's no longer needed anywhere, he let them pass

I know a non citizen who was denied entry to Usa from Canada due to no vaccine at the airport.

Wrong thread, this should be under: USA Closing Borders……

[Alexsei]

Why shouldn't they be denied? The US never removed the order

Apparently Trudeau says the vax has side effects and claims he never "forced" anyone to get the jab. How people support him, is beyond understanding.

I can attest to that, proof is in the pudding, I wasn't vaccinated and Trudeau never forced me to.
