New Border Regulations

As far as I can tell (searching all Canadian carrier flights with US continental destinations), I can see very few flight cancellations next week. I did see numerous Canadian airlines with rather unusual departures-only FROM Mexican international airports. I suspect that Canadian airlines are flying to Mexico (nearly) empty, and loading up with repatriating Canadians IN Mexico.

....I'm following all passenger flights World-wide, real-time, and focusing on incoming/outbound flights from Canada/USA/Latin America. Anyone in Canada can actually jump onto ANY US air carrier departing from any Canadian international airport, and with one hop, get to any Canadian sun destination, no problem. Also, the "reported" $2000+ CAD cost to returning Canadians (and virtually anyone coming into the country by air) can vary, depending on how rapidly the Canadian airport-given PCR test turn around would be-- following reports now (ie. if the traveler gets their results showing negative in 3~5 hours, the 3 days in a Federal -appointed "quarantine hotel" would be zero days, and proceed to home under a 14-day quarantine). PCR tests given at US airports vary from ~$120 to ~$150 USD approximately. So, deducing, the cost for a Canadian airport PCR test could be in the ~~ $300 CAD range (to be confirmed).

To be clear: I'm not promoting Canadian non-discretionary travel by air. I believe that all non-discretionary air travel World-wide should be halted immediately till a re-evaluation period in early summer. Partial geographical air flight bans don't work, and are a miserable failure; too many ways to "burn Rome" and get around measures
