Travelers Coming into Canada are a Convenient Political Maneuvering
Here is a chronology of the Trudeau government’s actions.
December 22. News of the British coronavirus variant prompted Ontario Premier Doug Ford, under political pressure himself, to call for additional restrictions: “There’s just not enough being done to protect us from the threats coming in from the outside.” Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu defended the government’s measures, noting that only 1.3 per cent of Ontario COVID-19 cases had originated outside the country. Federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair also challenged Ford, defending the government’s restrictions on international flights as “among the strongest and most rigorous in the world.” Data compiled since shows it was during the next two weeks of federal inaction that COVID variants got their deadly foothold.
January 7. The prime minister finally announced that international air travellers must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test before boarding their return flight and then must quarantine for two weeks.
January 29. Trudeau announced that, effective February 3rd, travellers would be required to undergo a second test upon arrival. But rather than quarantining at home to await results, they would be confined for three days in a government-designated hotel room that they must pay for, at an estimated cost of $2000. If the second test is negative, they would be allowed to return home. But even with two successive negative results proving them to be the most COVID-safe people in the country, they would still be required to quarantine for the remaining 11 days.
In yet another incomprehensible move, Trudeau announced a three-month suspension of flights from Mexico and the Caribbean, though neither location had yet recorded variant cases. This completely unexpected decision struck travellers like a bombshell. Stressed-out Canadians flooded airports trying to book flights, get a COVID test and hurry home before the February 3rd mandatory hotel lockdown — hard to do in just four days.
After creating huge stress for travellers and posing impossible timing challenges for airlines, the government delayed the hotel lockdown measure to February 22nd. It became clear that Trudeau had not sufficiently considered the time required for public servants to set up the arrival testing and make the necessary hotel arrangements.

- William Watson: Lockdowns’ high costs
- Opinion: Airlines are not our COVID problem
- Gwyn Morgan: Three things governments got wrong that will leave scars long after the pandemic
But he wasn’t done in this day of havoc-creating new rules. He also announced that all international flights arriving after February 22nd would be directed to just four airports: Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. Here again, he completely failed to consider the impact on Canadian travellers. Those four airports work fine for people living locally. After being released from the hotel, they can simply go home for the remaining days of their quarantine. But what about people who must take another flight to get home? Consider a couple from Winnipeg confined at a Calgary hotel. Will they be allowed to fly home after their three-day hotel stay or would they be required to remain at the hotel for the rest of the 14-day quarantine, adding another $6000 to their hotel bill? Then, when they finally are allowed to go home, they have to buy tickets to Winnipeg, where they were originally booked to land.
Besides Winnipeg, Canada has 12 other international airports, including Moncton, Halifax, London, Ottawa, Quebec City, Regina, Saskatoon, St. John’s and Victoria, all equipped for customs clearance and entry screening. Shutting them down to returning travellers’ flights is additional proof of our prime minister’s uncaring attitude toward his “subjects.”
Trudeau’s actions between December 22nd and January 29th must surely be among the most ill-conceived by any Canadian prime minister. And still two over-arching questions haven’t been addressed.
Will the forced hotel stay keep Canadians safer? When the prime minister implemented the hotel lockdowns on February 22, variants had already spread across the country. CTV’s coronavirus tracking website records 873 active variant cases as of February 24th. Passengers arriving with a negative test are among the least likely of all Canadians to be carrying the virus, yet they are locked in hotel rooms. Meanwhile locals who have tested positive are free to quarantine at home. That this makes no sense is not lost on travellers. No wonder many are simply walking out of the airport. And now we hear public health officials vow to hunt them down like criminals and issue fines of up to $1,800 per day.
What’s the real motivation for the prime minister’s actions? The most likely answer comes from Chris Selley: “A political necessity and a welcome distraction.” The government has come under intense criticism for a fumbled vaccine procurement that places Canada 43rd as of this writing in vaccinations per capita. Trudeau has a history of attempting to deflect blame when he gets himself in trouble. He tried to blame the public service for awarding a $900-million contract to the WE Charity, which had paid generous speaking fees to his family. True to form, he now resorts to blaming the runaway virus infections on those supposedly unpatriotic and selfish Canadians who travelled south, partly to escape that very virus.
Publicly vilifying a particular group to win public support for persecuting them has long been a favoured practice of despots. It has no place in our Canada.

Is the Canadian Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms Worth Standing Up For?
People have become angry with me and my attitude towards the present circumstances that we as Canadians are finding ourselves in the midst of. At no other time in Canadian history, including both wars, has the Canadian people been so abused and violated by their governments. And yet they drink the government Kool-Aid and just accept what is taking place without a whimper.
Before 1983, the government of Canada was the parliament. Parliament discussed and passed laws and other legislations as a body, a whole. Parliament was seen as the government of Canada and the source all that was government.
After 1983, the government of Canada became the prime minister and the cabinet. Their duties were to create legislation, present it to Parliament, but in reality the prime minister and the cabinet were the government and they could decide what is law and what isn't. The seat of government moved from parliament to cabinet and the prime minister.
By act of Parliament, parliament was being pushed aside. Canadians no longer voted for a person to represent the riding in parliament. Instead voters elected someone who would represent the party to the riding, meaning that the voice of the people may been seen but not heard when it came to party politics.
Since the last part of Jean Chretien's rule, into Paul Martin and even Steven Harpers terms as prime ministers, the voice of the people in Parliament was being silenced and only the policies of the party was being heard. But it did not stop there. Even in Steven Harper's terms as prime minister, the voice of the cabinet was disappearing. Now with the reign of justin trudeau, both parliament and cabinet voices are being ignored and nearly silenced as these two institutions are being pushed aside and ignored.
The government of Canada has become the prime minister and his office of unelected cronies. That appears to be the voice of the Canadian government at the present time. Canadian voters no longer elect a person who will represent the party to them, but rather they are now electing a person who will represent the prime minister and his/her office to them. Their voices have been silenced.
At this present time, 2020-2021, it would appear that the government of Canada is the prime minister and the office of paid employees known as the prime minister's office. Everything else has been pushed aside only to be used when necessary to show some form of non-dictatorship.
The present covid-19 pandemic, that has a 90% recovery rate, is being used as a means to an end. People have consumed the Kool-Aid given to them by the prime minister's office, which includes for now doctors and scientists (who by the way agree with the pm's office) and the manipulation of numbers to spread fear and anxiety in the general population.
I am not saying the pandemic is not real. Only a fool would say that. What I am saying is that the Canadian population is being led down a path that they should be be treading down. Canadians have allowed the dictations of the prime minister and the pm's office to decide what they will and will not do. The violations of the Canadian Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms have never been under such a severe attack and contempt as these important pieces of legislation.
The importance of these pieces of legislation is primary to the Canadian legal system from Parliament to the Courts. All laws and legislation must pass through the filters of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution of Canada. The Supreme Court of Canada draws their decision making and rulings based on these filters. That is why I feel it is so important for the Supreme Court of Canada to make a ruling that is binding on even the prime minister and the office of the prime minister. The Supreme Court of Canada must decide if the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution of Canada are written in stone, or on toilet paper to be flushed down the political toilet when ever it pleases them.
What is being set right now, will also determine the rule of the next party that wins the next election and elections after. If parliament and the cabinet continually be pushed aside, and the center of power rests only in the prime minster and the cronies in the prime minister's office, than Canada is no longer a democracy but a "legally voted" dictatorship where elections can be and most likely will be dissolved as well.
It is important for Canadians to stand up and demand a return to Parliamentary rule, where Parliament is the center of government and power. A place where the voice of the people are heard once more, and elected representatives, represent the voice of the people in Parliament once more.
So yes. The Canadian Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are worth standing up for. The voices of all Canadians should be heard. Canadians need to look beyond the corona virus, to pull the curtains back as actually see what is taking place in the name of Canadian Decmocracy.

And there's a ghost, ghost, ghost
Welcome To The Canadian Union of Socialist Provinces and Territories.
When traveling to Canada you will be taken basically against your will to a government approved hotel. If you fail to go, you will be charged and jailed by police. At least you get a court hearing with the police.
At the government approved hotel where you will be forced (kidnapped) to stay for three days at a cost of at least $2000.00 for the three days. So far people who have expressed that their reason for travel is important, have been told their trip is not necessary. This decision is left up to the government officer and you have no avenue to challenge his/her choice.
The government of Canada under this liberal government has violated a person's basic Constitutional rights, leaving the person with no avenue but to either comply with the forced detention, or go to jail and be given a large fine. Again at least with being charged you have a court date.
If your test show positive the person is taken to a secure location where the person is further detained without consent by the way, therefore equal to being kidnapped, for 14 further days. If the test is negative the person can go home where they will be met by another government security officer who will make sure you stay inside your home. This is house-arrest to be honest.
But with all these abuses to Charter Rights and Freedoms, where is the opposition parties? Not even a whimper coming from the Conservative Party of Canada. Are all these parties in agreement of these abuses being committed? Where is their voices? Where are they? Their silence is deafening.
As the governments both federal and provincial seem to enjoy moving to an authoritarian population controls which pushes aside parliament, Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution of Canada, there appears to be an acceptance by all political parties that the Charter Rights and Constitution is written on toilet paper ready to be flushed down the political toilet.

Gun Control -- The latest in taking people's attention away.
The liberal government, is attempting to make gun control an issue since they have a minority government. By doing so, trudeau is attempting to divert the minds of the population and critics to something else, especially the shambles of the covid vaccine and all the other scandals that have taken place. By making this an election issue, and remember he wants to call an election this year in hoping to obtain a majority, he is pitting city dwellers against rural dwellers.
Since rural Canada really doesn't care for the liberals and their ridings are vast, the more populated ridings as in the GTHA, Ottawa, Sudbury where most of his support is, will vote for him as they are affected by gang violence which has no purpose nor desire to hand in their guns.
This is an election issue. There is little doubt about that, and trudeau knows that the NDP and Green will support him, leaving the Conservatives to argue among themselves as usual. Western provinces do not factor into the equation of gun control as there is little desire in the government to actually care about the western provinces. The eastern provinces are used as fodder to break ties in parliament, so there is no need to care for the eastern provinces as well. They will simply fall in line and step, incase the Quebec parties oppose this legislation.
The winners in every gun control legislation has been the criminals and the gangs. They have remained safe and secluded with no fear what so ever of being affected by gun control legislations past, present and future. Think about it. At a time when gun crimes are at their lowest in decades, the liberals are foisting this legislation upon the country. The only reason for this is to cause an election.
Some one did some digging in this legislation, and found that the government has the power to arm any and or all public servants, security companies hired by the government, and other government officials as they desire. Is that gun control? Absolutely not. This disarming the population and arming a special segment of society to enforce the controls being placed on the population.
No one is allowed to have a private army in Canada, but the government can create a private army if they desire and arm them. Let's see, who else did that. Oh yes the Nazis. The Brown Shirts and the Waffen SS were private armies, and Himmler's SS were private armies, all supported by the government. The pattern is there. One needs to look.
As everyone will now argue about gun control, the government is drawing attention away from the prime minister. Since no one will read the legislation, no one will really know about the arming of a near federal security forces. The mayors of cities and towns will be salivating over a new power they will receive in banning hand guns from municipalities that they won't notice anything either. The provinces will be divided and arguing over the controls and the population won't really give a shit because they are too busy trying to survive in a Canada that performs more legalized theft through fees and taxes than parliament does in actual ruling the country.
An election will be called, the snow board instructor will be prime minister again with a majority, which will enable him to create a similar structure of the Chinese Communist Party here in Canada. After all the government now is the leader of the party and those hired in the prime minister's office. Parliament has become useless and the cabinet has become nothing more than meaningless storefront trappings disguised to distract anyone from what is really going on.
