Sadly we can't tell people to stay out. Constitution doesn't allow that. It is entirely reasonable and supportable to lock them in a hotel for 14 days (or they can choose to stay out if they don't want to do that).

Why are so many Canadian citizens in other countries around the world during a pandemic anyway? Saying this as an aussie in canada that may head back if the country keep going in the shitter.
A huge number were students and then went home while keeping canada as a parachute.
Paging @MacDoc
Well I have a lot of reasons why he is there. I have many fewer reasons why he would want to come home anytime soon.

My Grandfather and his wife went to Florida I guess maybe a month ago, got their vaccines within a week and are pretty much living a normal life.
My sister lives in Connecticut and I talked to her yesterday. She told me the majority of things are open there and in two weeks everything will be open/back to normal.
I would bail out if I could but work gets in the way of that plan.
One of the neighbors drives down south every year. This year he had to fly down and buy a car there. He's not back yet.
Why would he be back? Didn’t Florida issue a travel warning to Canada?
IIRC the US is now steadily vaccinating 3 MILLION(!!!!!) people per day. There’s expecting to run out of people to vaccinate soon.
Off topic, but I wonder how the antivaxxers and all their nonsense plan to rationalize all this. Billions of vaccines given around the world in the last handful of months and all their arguments are falling completely flat.
You dont need to rationalize. You cant use logic to fight an irrational argument. It is all beliefs and feeling and no amount of logic/science/reason can change what someone feels.
Hahaha. An Ontario MPP is calling for a suspension of connecting flights. He has a point. Nothing in the constitution requires us to make it easy to get here. A boat trip would get you through the danger window before you arrived, likely no quarantine required unless there is an outbreak on the ship.
Why would you even try to use reason or logic. It doesn’t matter to these people. There’s always a sinister motive and boogey man in the shadows.
Life is easier to accept when you have a focus to direct your anger at.
I just heard elsewhere that the EU is also banning flights from India. That’s one less route to Canada to take.
Public Health Ontario lab has 17 cases? Shouldn't that be near the top of PPE compliance? That's not good.

Also the arguments are consistently shifting and changing without any agreement that the previous nutjob theory was invalid. Remember the whole thing about 5G causing Covid?
Latest is covid vacines are causing strange bleeding in women that are not vaccinated but around vaccinated women.. Naomi Wolf Pushes Another Vaccine Conspiracy
It's like monkeys throwing poop at the wall.

If people are taking connecting flights into Pearson, it's pretty easy for a CBSA Agent to tell if the persons passport indicates they came from India or Pakistan a couple days ago. Those people need to get sent back to the point of connection. Pretty simple.

He’s pandering to millennials. The have the voting power now, they are also somewhat naive to federal economics, not realizing that mom and dad won’t be paying theses bills.
I’m starting to understand why this is likely the first modern generation that will not surpass their parents quality of life.
Even if mom and dad pick up the bills on paper, it will be the same as mexico paying for the wall. For instance something like an inheritance tax sort of comes from the parents money, but directly impacts the kids.
