Until I read this lady’s account, I‘d only seen one account of anyone’s airport experience but I’d read a lot about the covid hotel hell experiences. In that one account, an anti-mask, anti-lockdown activist had filmed himself refusing to wear a mask in the airport and refusing to go to hotel hell. He shouted into the camera that they were violating our Bill of Rights and he walked out and it appeared that they left him alone. I don’t know what happened once he got home ($3000 fine for violating the Quarantine Act?). He’s well-known. I am not.
So I contacted my lawyer and asked for a referral to a criminal attorney because I was planning to refuse to go to covid hotel hell and expected to be arrested. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms here in Canada suggested we have a criminal attorney on retainer for when we refused in case we were arrested. Not all people were being arrested for refusing in Toronto, but there was no knowing in advance who would be or wouldn’t be.
Then I learned from a friend that hotel quarantine wasn’t a requirement when entering by land, so I abandoned my plan to be civilly disobedient and simply changed my travel arrangements. If I had returned to Toronto by air, I may have seen all Chinese faces too if Trudeau has turned airport arrival functions over to them. I saw no evidence of Chinese control of the airport when I departed from Toronto.
Thanks very much, LL.
Was very curious to hear what else you’ve heard. I remember reading and seeing a short vid about the other account you mentioned with that gentleman. That was a couple months ago IIRC. Scary stuff!
This is all so very infuriating!
