  1. This is not about safety. Its about control. This is why the truckers were fighting Trudeau and his dictatorship. This nonsense will not end until Trudeau is gone. Its a simple fact.

  2. ‘they’ll do their test offsite either virtually or at a pharmacy’ – how does one do a COVID test virtually?

  3. Any statistician would tell you that the chances of a random testing at the border detecting new variants are close to zero. It is like detecting that the barn doors are open once the horses are already gone.
