Canada's PM Justin Trudeau caves in to lift vaccine mandates for travelers
American Thinker ^ | 09/27/2022 | Rajan Laad

Posted on 09/27/2022 10:20:19 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Over the weekend, the Canadian government said it is dropping all COVID-19 measures at borders from next month.

This means, as of October 1, travelers won’t need to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination when entering Canada or wear masks on planes and trains.

They will also not have to undergo any testing before and after arrival. There will also be no mandatory isolation and quarantine.

The ArriveCan app - used to upload health documents when entering Canada - will now become optional.

In Canada, 82% of the population has taken both doses of the vaccine.

Despite that, the BBC reports that around 32 Canadians are currently dying each day from the virus.

Canada isn’t the only country to lift the vaccine mandates, other countries, such as the United Kingdom, have also dropped COVID-19 entry requirements earlier this year.

I am so sick of having to lie about being vaccinated every time I go to a medical appointment, which these days is frequent. Maybe with Fidel Jr caving, it will finally go away

These Leftists always do the wrong thing and then drag their feet into doing the better thing when it becomes obvious that that is the overwhelming majority opinion of the people. Other times they just are flat wrong and never self correct.

With all the power of Woke/PC, wonder if the money people got to Justin and said, “Enough! Open up all the way! You’re killing us!”

Major lawsuit going on that Canadians’ Charter of Rights & Freedoms was violated. If the plaintiff (Brian Peckford - only living First Minister who helped craft The Constitution Act of 1982) wins, that is going to seriously put a kabosh on Trudie being able to do in the future what he’s done to Canada in the last two years ... ruling by ministerial order rather than going through Parliament & ignoring the rights/freedoms of Canadians.

By “suspending” (that’s all they just did - can be ‘reinstated’ if needed) the travel restrictions, the government is before the court trying to get them to rule the lawsuit is now “moot” and to throw it out.

Motives matter.

“I don’t lie and infact I’m proud to say I’ve had no vaxx”

Perhaps I should do that, it bothers me to have to lie..it bothers me to have to answer that question at all. I suppose I just am trying to avoid complications at the waiting room. What happens if I answer in the negative? Will they cancel the appointment or make me do some ridiculous “safety” thing, I just do not have the spare time to find out. Maybe they would do nothing, who knows

But.. wait…. I thought that this was THE crisis of all crisis’…

Nobody came up with a cure as far as I know, so it’s surely STILL ‘out there’..

Is Trudeau trying to MURDER his citizens?!?!

(Isn’t this how they all treated President Trump a short while back?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure... and there is a country closer to home that still hasn’t dropped its mandates. For those who don’t know, these are still the current state of affairs for travelers coming to the U.S.....

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/covid-19-faqs-for-travel-to-the-us-information.html

“Foreign national air travelers to the United States are required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to fly to the United States, with only limited exceptions...”

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/coronavirus

“TRAVEL ALERT: Beginning on January 22, 2022, DHS will require non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter the United States via land ports of entry and ferry terminals at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide related proof of vaccination, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise nationwide.
These new restrictions will apply to non-U.S. individuals who are traveling for both essential and non-essential reasons. They will not apply to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, or U.S. nationals.”

OTOH.....
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Order, which took effect November 8, 2021, requiring all nonimmigrant, non-citizen air travelers to the United States to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to the United States remains in effect.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go Brian go!! For the record, it is not just Brian Peckford involved with this suit. It also includes Max Bernier and five others.. https://www.jccf.ca/justice-centre-fights-feds-request-to-throw-out-travel-ban-lawsuit/

On their ‘About’ page, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms who have taken on the case says this... “There is no charge for the legal services provided by the Justice Centre. Since 2010, the Justice Centre has operated entirely without government funding, and officials tax receipts to donors for donations of $50 or more. The Justice Centre is funded by the voluntary donations of more than 10,000 Canadians from coast to coast.”

Canadians coast-to-coast should be supporting this case to the hilt....

I heard an interview with Brian Peckford probably 2 months ago (?). It was really interesting ... what a decent gentleman.

Anyway, there was an interview posted a day or two ago about this lawsuit (where I got most of my info). If you haven’t heard this interview, it’s fascinating ... here’s the thread link:

Interview with Keith Wilson - Brian Peckford’s Charter Challenge UPDATE - Viva Frei Live
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4096093/posts

Interview of Canadian Constitutional atty Keith Wilson by Viva Frei, in regards to challenge of Canadian cv19vx travel mandates. Some stunning admissions. Worth the hour from about 00:20 to 01:30

Thanks for providing that. I’ve listened to quite a few interviews by Viva Frei... terrific interviewer and one of the big benefits of the Freedom Convoy was to get introduced to him.

Another great interview is this one when Jordan Peterson interviewed Brian Peckford... it’s now 8 months old and hour long but well worth the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhFuMDLBDM

In the link I gave you, Viva is all worked up about the guy/shop teacher wearing the ginormous boobs with the “huge erect nipples” .... you’ll have to skip past that part. If his hair wasn’t already standing up on end, it was after seeing boob guy.
