Ottawa's Extension

From Reuters:

“Canada extends travel restrictions for those entering the country”

Canada will extend its restrictions for all travelers entering the country, except from the United States, until Jan. 21, the government said on Sunday, in a move to limit the spread of COVID-19. Restrictions for U.S. citizens and foreign nationals arriving from the United States will continue until Dec. 21 and may be extended at that time, Health Minister Patty Hajdu said in a statement here. Canada said it is also amending its order and creating a framework for considering applications from sport organizations seeking to hold International Single Sport Events.

^ Canada has mishandled the way it deals with Covid-19. They self-isolated themselves from the rest of the world. They allowed their Provinces and Territories to self-isolate themselves from other Provinces and Territories. Now they are at the bottom of the list of Western, Industrialized countries when a vaccine becomes available. There seems to be more fear going on up North (and more anti-Canadian violence) then solid  Covid-19 planning, restrictions and help. Canada used to be a country that was up there among the world’s other countries and now they are at the very bottom of Western countries. I’m sure the January 21^st ban on foreigners will be extended  - probably into the Fall of 2021  - as will the ban on Americans entering. The US has mishandled how we deal with Covid-19 too, but even with Trump as President we have still engaged with the rest of the world in a way that Canada has not. Canada not only closed itself up from the world, but Canada has closed itself off to Canadians within the country. Trudeau’s actions and inactions are helping to spread wider divisions among Canadians then Covid-19 ever could and will last decades longer than Covid-19 will. ^
