Oh, Do You Think That This Could Be A Problem?

Others have commented and reported on this long before the bribed press did:


While U.S. and other international flights coming into Canada have been significantly curtailed since the outbreak of COVID-19, thousands of passengers are still arriving each week at the country's airports.

It's an issue that at least one infection control epidemiologist believes is cause for concern.

"The fact of the matter is this pandemic arrived everywhere in the world through travel," said Colin Furness, who is also an assistant professor with the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information.

"We should be closing our borders as much as we can. We can't bring [the number of entrants] down to zero but we should get as close as we can."

According to the Canada Border Services Agency, 356,673 air travellers came into Canada from the U.S. last year during the week of May 11-17. In the same time period this year, there was a nearly 99 per cent drop.

Yet 3,691 people still entered Canada that week.

As well, other international travel in that time period saw a 97 per cent decrease from last year's total of 374,775. This year, during that same week, 10,845 people arrived at one of the four Canadian airports that accept international flights — Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.

In total, since March 23, 76,072 passengers from the U.S. and 193,438 other international travellers have arrived in Canada.

As seriously problematic as this is, why didn't the CBC do the g-d- job it supposed to do instead of fawning over Trudeau which it is bribed to do?


(Sidebar: if you have to accept a bribe to flatter Pierre's useless son, you are worse than he is. You can damn well see that he is useless. What does that make you when you claim that he isn't?)
