wow 1 year later what a joke
just 2 weeks to flatten the curve they said.
Well it wasn’t contagious (person/person) back then…according to…
you know.
๐๐๐๐
Presumably we’ll be using the same faulty PCR test that yields ~80% false positives?
Don’t worry they now have the Anal test for the sheeps ๐๐คฃ
Not allowed to address that It’s racist.
This fine is actually $880 when you add the Victim Surcharge of $130 (750 plus 130). FYI.
and yet it is mandatory but you have the option and right to refuse…in which case they let you be on your way after issuing a fine.
How much is the fine?
@sistaschin 750
@dames bli Thanks. I guess $750 will be added to the travel budget. It’s still less than the $2000+ quarantine hotels stays. ๐
@dames bli Is it not 750,000? According to the Quarantine Act “Maximum penalties for breaking self-isolation orders include a fine of up to $750,000 and/or imprisonment for six months”
Yup..shoulda… coulda… woulda…. going to… FAIL!
there is no pandemic and never was . simple testing tricks .
It’s a business model
Most effective technique in life – a squeeze.
Please stop getting your news from facebook.
@Raven Are you kidding, he couldn’t get news from facebook, it’s not in speak and spell yet
Yay brain jabs!
To Refuse coved test cost u 700$ better then paying 2000$ in hotel charges:)
It should be 5000$ for refusing!
2000 for 3 days.
Thats 666$ per day
it sounds like if you are rich and sick, just pay $700 and skip the line so you can go to your favorite nightclub to spread the virus. Such a great deal
@Jacky that’s exactly what it is.
@Dave Gravitt North Korea wants you back!
Oh look more charter violations.
Wow that took long enough there shouldnโt of been a lockdown or a mask worn until this was done
Canada going crazy on this๐
“….especially in the United States” …..yeah…. like they had any other land border to go across, lol
Forced test that have a high rate of false positives.
Plus it’s an invasive medical procedure which legally cannot be mandated regardless of reason…
babbe89 It seems Canadian RCMP use them in order to collect DNA from convicted criminals, its unlawful otherwise, they have to be convicted.
@babbe89 then don’t travel, its simple
Lmfao pcr tests??? More false positives
I thought Canada was doing this a long time ago
They should have been doing this last March.
Wth is going on! A lady was detained in Calgary, with paperwork from USA, indicating a negative test, and was not given a rapid test.
Whatโs is the point to test at the airport on arrival, when passengers need to already test before boarding the flight??? I think we need to see those successful countries on what are they doing & how they are controlling? Not doing everything & wasting the budgets? Budget need to be spent efficiently for the effective control of the pandemic as we donโt how long this going to be for….
if you dont stand up and fight, your silence will be viewed as submission by those in power and they will keep taking more of your rights and freedoms.. you will never get them back if you do not fight for them.
And what if I say โno.โ?
Big fine 4 you! ๐
in New Zealand when you come into there country, it is a 2 week mandatory stay, and is 2 grand a person, l don’t understand for 3 days costing 2 thousand.. should really only be around 500. Honestly if l have to stay in one of there hotels for that price, l better be in a 5 star and all booze and food included.
