Exempting the passengers on the flights from Haiti from the pre-boarding negative test requirement without a testing contingency was a major blunder. All passengers should have been isolated upon landing (before walking thru the airport to immigration) and tested immediately upon arrival. Rapid tests can easily be deployed. This is so obvious and simple yet no one thought of it? Canada and Canadians seem to enjoy bragging about how great Canada is, yet simple things like proper testing of these arrivals is not done. Heck, many “third world” countries handle arrivals better. In fact, all arrivals should be tested now.
That's just Montreal....add in Toronto and Vancouver and we are well over 100.
But that's not the real story. Pearson claims 2% of all international travelers are infected, and Pearson receives 8000 travelers a day, or 16 infected. Similar numbers from Van and Montreal.
So let's say 40 infected a day.
This article spans 11 day. Sooooo, 11 x 40 = 440 infected over that time.
Now multiply that over the course of the last 12 months.
It's as if momma gov doesn't want this pandemic to stop.
Counting covid cases in flights is fear mongering sensationalism to push for more travel restrictions.
We'll never get to covid zero like the leftards dream.
Covid is here to stay and we better learn how to live with it.
With that said, no countries should have been exempted from testing and arrivals should be tested. The AB pilot program is working well.

Yes, of course. That makes it even worse.
