Canadians who travel outside Canada could be stranded abroad, Trudeau warns

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Friday that anyone travelling outside Canada could face considerable trouble getting back home, as new evidence suggests some COVID-19 variants are both more transmissible and more deadly.

“No one should be taking a vacation abroad right now. If you’ve got one planned, cancel it. Don’t book a trip for spring break,” Trudeau said outside of Rideau Cottage. “We could be bringing in new measures that significantly impede your ability to return to Canada at any given moment without warning.”

Why do I get the feeling that this is also about Biden cancelling Keystone... Deprive the US of some more tourist dollars, and at the same time give Canadians, who are getting a little uppity, and thinking about not voting for Princess Dreamy next election get their noses finger-flicked and told to "Sit! Don't you DARE forget who the Natural Governing Party® of this country is!"

At least he was considerate enough to not make the proclamation from his Carribbean dacha in Cuba.

The Poseur Socialist Prime Blynister is upping the fear in Canada in advance of his Great Reset to convert Canada into his green new dystopia.

Imagine all those Canadians who have to travel by land to get medical services and medication in the USA. Not allowed back in MOFOS....Buahahahaha!

What an sophomoric elitist prig Trudeau is. He certainly looks and acts like Fidel Castro’s son.

My Kingdopm for a genetic test!

The effing Canadian Government is worse than the pandemic itself.

Scary that the whole world is shutting its borders.

Looked on a travel list. Only Mexico and one other country is allowing non-citizens in (even the US has now locked its doors to Americans overseas. (Need 2 different covid tests to get back in)

Good advice, Dudley.

Heyyyyy, wait a minute. If that's true then why is Sleepy Joe Littela inviting hundreds of thousands of people here from Central America and the Middle East and elsewhere? Sum Ting Wong.

Dems brought us obamacare. Fouled up the health care industry. Then they locked down the country for 2 weeks that has stretched out to 10 months. Now they want to bring in millions of illegals who are carrying covid and other diseases that we eradicated years ago.

These people are evil.

Don’t be fooled. It was mutual. The left in Canada hates Keystone

In this case I don’t think it’s a case of sheeple. I’m pretty sure Canada’s PM has the power to shut Canada’s borders (oddly, at the same time Biden is opening ours). You turn up and the border and the officer tells you to turn around, what are you going to do?

People we know from our neighborhood left today for Mexico they have a time share in Cabo/San Lucas. This is a annual winter vacation that they've done for several years. It'll be interesting to see what develops while they're gone … the return to the U.S. may be an issue.

The US effectively locked its doors to Americans on January 26:

Effective January 26, 2021, CDC issued an Order requiring all air passengers arriving to the US from a foreign country to get tested no more than 3 days before their flight departs and to provide proof of the negative result or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 to the airline before boarding the flight.

The negative pre-departure test must be a viral test (RT-PCR or Antigen) that was conducted on a specimen collected within 3 calendar days preceding the flight’s departure from a foreign country.

The negative viral test must be approved or authorized by the relevant national authority for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.

The Qualifying Test result documentation confirm that:

The personal identifiers (e.g., name and date of birth) on the negative Qualifying Test result match the personal identifier’s on the passport or other travel documents;

The specimen was collected within the 3 calendar day prior to the flight’s departure

The test performed was a viral test; and

The test result states “NEGATIVE”, “SARS-CoV-2 RNA NOT DETECTED,” “SARS-CoV-2 ANTIGEN NOT DETECTED” or “COVID-19 NOT DETECTED.” A test marked “invalid” is not acceptable.
If passenger has recovered from COVID-19, passenger must provide a written documentation of recovery from COVID-19 after previous SARS-CoV-2 infection in the form of a positive viral test result and a letter from a licensed health care provider or public health official stating that the passenger has been cleared.

The document of recovery from COVID-19 means that the passenger has presented documentation of a positive test result and a signed letter on official letterhead that contains the name, address, and phone number of a licensed healthcare provider or public health official stating that the passenger has been cleared for travel;

The positive test occurred within the last three months (90 days) prior to flight departure to the US

Personal identifiers (e.g. name and date of birth) on the positive test result and signed letter match the personal identifiers on the passenger’s passport or other travel documents;

The test performed was a viral test; and

The test result states “POSITIVE”, “SARS-CoV-2 RNA DETECTED”, “SARS-CoV-2 ANTIGEN DETECTED,” “COVID-19 DETECTED.” A test marked “invalid is not acceptable.

This Order applies to all air passengers, 2 years of age or older, traveling into the US, including US citizens and legal permanent residents.
Any flight entering the US, even for a connection, will require testing before departure.

All air passengers traveling to the US, regardless of vaccination status, are required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery.

A passenger must retain written or electronic documentation reflecting the negative Qualifying Test result or Documentation of Recovery presented to the airline. A passenger must also produce such Qualifying Test result or Documentation upon request to any US government official or a cooperating state or local public health authority.

For more information on this new requirement:
https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/fr-proof-negative-test.html
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html

Must undergo a 14-day self-quarantine in a rental lodging or personal residence.
