Canada flights cancelled

[wedivebc]

Back to the original topic...Have people traveling to Mexico/Caribbean caused a lot of infections in Canada? Has the government done the same restrictions for domestic travel?

Why only warm weather vacation destinations?

I've said it before, I went to COZ in late August. I felt much safes going there than the WalMart in town.

Is this decision based on science? If so, why is the science different for domestic travel?

Possibly because it's less likely flights to Cozumel from Canada fall under the catagory of "essential travel"

IN GENERAL. Far more Canadians fly south during the winter months than during the rest of the year & it's our primary destination because for most of us it's not a long trip nor that expensive. Westjet has at times had summer trips to Cozumel (if I remember right) & so did Air Canada. Westjet however cut those a few years ago & i'm not sure what Air Canada has offered. Westjet's flights usually start up in early Nov & end late April or early May.
Those flying in or crossing the border for "essential travel" are subject to different rules than tourists get & I can't comment on what they are nor how they are enforced.

Well, of course, the Canadian government is deeply concerned that Canadiens will spread the deadly virus among all those poor island nations who don't have enough hospital beds, ventilators, oxygen tanks, etc.

It's to try to prevent bringing in the different new variants popping up around the world. The UK & African variants are already in Canada & the specialists expect more to creep up in other countries.

Again, my point is why are they requiring the hotel stays/quarantines for International travel, but not domestic travel. Are the folks traveling in from Mexico/Caribbean causing outbreaks?

There is also no unnecessary travel within Canada...

That sucks for them seriously! I wonder if the people are going to spend that kind money locally.

It may be a jurisdictional issue; maybe the national government can only require this stuff if you cross an international border. DISCLAIMER: This is 100% conjecture.

Last week the owners walked through the office and saw that no one was here. They through a fit because, in their mind, everyone is 16 yrs old and can't be trusted to work from home responsibly, even though we haven't missed a deadline/deliverable yet. Starting today, everyone is required to be in the office. In addition, the owners consider wearing a mask is a personal choice and not mandatory. As for the gov't mandate, their position is "We don't care. We'll just pay the fine."

Actually, you have learned a valuable lesson. Yes, this is a job you went to after a previous lay-off, and it is important to remain employed. But, you have also learned that this is an employer that you really DO NOt want to be working for, beyond the immediate need.

And, of course, no new variants will brew in Canada?
