Stuff Ontario could have and should have been doing during the first lockdown, but elected to commit to partial-measures that exposed even more people (kids! Their elderly relatives!) so that some businesses could open for a bit.

New Travel Restrictions: A thread
https://twitter.com/JPTasker/status/1355194556103487489
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say "Why hasn't this been the policy all along?". A lot of people like to talk about how New Zealand achieved the results they did because they have different, and in their eyes easier, challenges but it's not like we've been emulating them and getting worse results. Our government barely tried and instead whined about how it's unfair to measure us against countries that did this well.

Big deal. The US and other countries with high infection rates and more money, can still fly here.You want to get serious about stopping this, shut it down to everyone for a month.Nik said:
Testing mandatory yet???? Didn't think so.

Why no start date? And why isn't it "No travel. At all. You don't need to fly there. For any reason."

The answer I've typically heard to your second question is that it may not be possible legally as traveling is a protected charter right.
Re: the first question I imagine that they want to get this system up and running ASAP but don't want to put an arbitrary date on it that they may not be able to hit.

Extremely restrictive re-entry policies at high personal cost should have been put in months ago. It's beyond ridiculous. It's currying favour to voting blocks ahead of public safety.

You're probably correct.

Just spoke with a colleague that is working as a consultant at a mine in the US. His company figures he will be given an exception and be allowed to travel. He's always had to quarantine for 14 days when he gets home. I wonder if he'll also have to stay in a hotel for 3 days as well.
