I was at Moxie's the other night, and the manager was disappointed that people still don't get that they gotta have the vaccine pp and valid ID. Like a party of 20 comes in and 6 people don't have proper IDs. Party ruined because of idiots, and they leave a bad review because of consequences that they deserve.

So the Federal government hasn't made any intention as of yet to remove the PCR testing requirement prior to re-entry by border crossing. Some have mentioned you can pay for the PCR test here in Canada before you drive down, as it qualifies as your test within a 72 hour window.
How fucking stupid is that?
As well, has anything been announced in terms how the US will confirm your vaccination status on the way down? Your provincial QR Code?

How much is testing in Canada? Here's it's $240 ($40 CAD) for the government provided service, or around $400-$1000 ($60-160) for private tests depending on where you go
If it's around $40-60, don't you think that's pretty reasonable for a day trip to Washington during a pandemic?

| molecular test are not that cheap and we experienced it taking 4 days for a result down there, making it unusable for customs
if there is confidence in vaccines, they oughta drop the testing requirements
iTs nOT 1o0%..yeah because one can’t pick up the virus in that 72hours period either?
edit: in the other news of dr Henry banning gatherings of unvaccinated in the north, good luck with that

Interestingly, the US offers it for free. At least the City of Seattle offers it for free with a 12 hour turnaround. I heard Walgreens offers it for free too. And this is the molecular version.
The US doesn't have free healthcare.. but free vaccine testing???

I am hearing on the news that some labs in Whatcom county in Washington state charge about $180 US (about 223 CAD) for a PCR test. https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/10...-bc-crossings/

I wonder what the punishment will be for lying about vaccine status to the border officials. US is saying you won’t need to show proof of vaccination. Just say you have it and you may be subject to random screening, requiring you to show proof.

Lol this shit is so stupid. Just becoming about playing these political games..
How does it make sense that you don’t have to show proof of vaccination as you come and go but you’ve gotta get a fucking PCR test..
I know everyone shits on Aqualini but he was on the radio the other day talking about the Canuck’s etc before the season opener and he was kinda leaning into the reasoning the canucks are the only team in the entire league not to have full capacity is these political games they are playing on the provincial level. He didn’t say it directly but seemed to kind of hint Dix and Bonnie Henry just trying to flex on industries as opposed to following the “norm” that 30 other cities/teams are doing

I hate to say it, but I'm starting to agree.
It does seem a lot of this is just political games and safety theater.
How does it make any sense that I can be tested up here in Canada, go down to the states, and as long as my test was taken within 72 hours, I'm good to go coming back?
I could easily carry COVID coming back, but as long as I pay Lifelabs $150 for a test, all good? Drop that damn requirement if I'm vaccinated.
What an utterly ridiculous and stupid system. Our government needs to pull their heads out of their asses at this point. Americans have been crossing the border and coming up here on trips since the goddamn summer (and going home with ease), why are we still beholden to this bullshit?

Just to keep the facts straight -- currently, the PCR test requirement for re-entry into Canada is a federal directive. Blame it on Turdeau, Tam, Hajdu, etc., but not on Horgan, BH, or Dix. I think I heard on the radio in passing that Hulk Horgan is blasting the requirement as "stupid", and said he will talk to Turdeau about it.
There seems to be a lot of backlash towards the policy, so I suspect Turdeau will ease up on that in time.

I'm def not blaming Horgan on that one, it certainly sits with the Feds. It's stupid, and they need to pull their head out of their asses already.
Many Canadians that are vaccinated enjoy taking a trip by car down south, if the PCR requirement is still in place upon the borders opening in November, that is a major failure by Trudeau's gov.

Feds in Ottawa aren't familiar with Canada US border towns like YVR. Rules obviously made by some suits in an office.

I wouldn't mind a phased reopening of the border
Vaxxed only with pcr test returns = no short/quick trips
See how it goes, then consider removing the pcr test req
It's like Australia's phased reopening of international travel, only aussies at first, then later on, foreign workers and students, then afterwards foreign travelers (which sucks cuz I wanted to take my rents to Oz for the winter)

Same. A phased approach is a happy medium that would allow the people that are not essential travel, but also not " save a few bucks on gas" types to get through first. See family and friends or whatnot.
I know it won't be a popular opinion though because we opened up straight up to the states and they don't require the PCR test and its hard not to draw comparisons.

It seems to me that the federal policy doesn't really take day trips to the US into account, because until now that wasn't possible. I assume they'll update it pretty soon.
