Travel Restrictions Coming

We have friends who had their car trucked across the border, and took a short helicopter trip to where their car was taken. Then they drove to their mobile home park in Florida. According to THIS ARTICLE, this practice may have to stop, and they may have difficulty getting back to Canada. It's something we would NEVER contemplate doing, but I guess, "to each his own".

    They are fully within the law. It's still perfectly legal to fly across the border and shipping via commercial truck is still perfectly legal.

    RV'ing is one of the safest ways to self isolate.

    Really the numbers using the loophole are so small as to be irrelevant.


    It may be permitted to cross into the USA by air at present, however the Canadian Gov’t has been saying for the last couple of days to cancel ‘ stop traveling as there could be changes to those loop holes.
    Last march / April our Government started saying the same thing and then one day it all changed, so this could be something similar
    won't rule out invoking Emergencies Act

    Even you, valhalla, believe these people used a loophole.

    Problem is politicians that have no clue and only do or say what they think will get them reelected.
