A formal announcement is expected on Tuesday afternoon as the government faces mounting pressure from tourism and travel associations to do away with vaccine mandates to help ease the chaos that has erupted at Canada’s airports and bring rules in line with provincial public health measures.
The new rules are expected to come into effect on June 20, though two government sources close to the decision, who were granted anonymity to speak about matters they were not authorized to discuss publicly, say the rules for foreign nationals coming to Canada will not change: International travellers coming to Canada will still be required to show proof of vaccination....
Travel industry groups have blamed federal public health measures for slowdowns at airport customs that have contributed to long waits for passengers and forced flight delays and cancellations. In recent weeks, Toronto’s Pearson airport has had planes stuck at gates and hours-long security lines because of staffing shortages.
The vaccine mandate will also be lifted for domestic travellers on passenger trains and buses, allowing unvaccinated Canadians to move more freely around the country.
The change will also affect federal workers who have been put on unpaid leave because of their vaccination status.
The government made no secret that it hoped the mandates would pressure Canadians to get their shots, saying the move was necessary to protect the public from severe illness and transmission of the virus.

We used to go up every summer to visit my husband’s extended family - not sure if we will go again anytime soon.
We made a trip to St. Catherine’s every fall.
It was about a 5 hour drive.
Would visit the wineries and come home with a bunch of wine.
Their loss is New York’s gain. Now we visit the Finger Lakes.
The vaccines will be taking lives for decades.
Future generations may suffer from those vaccines.
Here in Michigan we keep seeing the “come visit your neighbour, Ontario” ads. I wouldn’t visit Canada after Trudeau’s dictatorship took away freedoms even if it was an all expense paid extravaganza.
We honeymooned in Ontario, it was great, but never visiting again.
Yesterday there was an article describing how a massive number of Liberal MPs were incensed about the domestic restrictions.
This is nothing but a capitulation by Justine. He knows if he loses his backbenchers there might be a vote of no confidence that he wouldn’t survive.
With Jagmeet dropping his pants and saying that he’ll do Justine’s bidding ‘til 2025, the gov’t doesn’t want to do anything that will interrupt that sweet arrangement.
Both the Liberals and the NDP would lose in a landslide.
You are not alone in that. Many of these places that showed their tyrant hands are going to suffer a long time, if not permanently.
Outside of them showing off their mental defects, they missed a basic rule of customers; once customers find another place to go or something to do, why would they come back?
We live about two hours south of Vancouver BC. Will be a long, long time until we head that far north again. If ever.
Bully Hill makes some pretty good wines.
Its not just Canada.
It is places like NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, San Fran and LA that I will not step foot in anytime soon. Not only for their politics, but also because the crime in those cities is so bad.
I would rather go to Cabo San Lucas, MX than any of those cities. At least in Mexico, the people REALLY appreciate your business.
