You couldn't do it. You would kill people for being obstinate fools with no drive to get anything done.

i can change, i could just play solitaire or pong from 9-5 and collect my pay cheque like the rest...i like games.
I worked for a good company in a bad department for a while. An hour of focused work a day and you were an overachiever. I read every factory manual for every piece of equipment that company made in the past 50 years in the first two months while at work. I would go home and sleep or play video games for 45 minutes at lunch because a one hour lunch was mandatory and oh so boring. I think I only lasted three months. I couldn't deal with the boredom any more.

And there would be no repercussions for doing that either...
Governor General Payette’s resignation is another example of JT’s poor judgment.
He ignored all the red flags but wanted his “Rockstar GG” so this is on him.

Matt Gurney: Julie Payette had no business being governor general in the first place
She's a French-Canadian woman who excels in the sciences and she's an astronaut who she wore our flag to space twice. What's not to like? Her conduct, apparently

A very Trudeau mistake created this governor-general fiasco
The Prime Minister was so enthralled with his celebrity pick that he didn’t do enough to check on who Payette really was

The useless tit is now considering hotels for returning travellers. If he had implemented them six months ago, do you know what what have been stopped? The two more virulent variants raging through the country. What a dbag. Still just talking while taking as little action as conceivably possible.

Probably pointless when 80% of people coming into the country are excempt from quarantine anyway. Sorry but people crossing the border to work and come home again shouldn't be allowed to when there is a pandemic.The useless tit is now considering hotels for returning travellers.

Well...they should just get daily rapid testing coming back.
To be fair, it would come in anyways, it probably would have just taken longer. People forget the amount of trade that happens across our border every day, and it's physically impossible to stop that trade.
Sure, you could cut off all the other travel, but you're never going to stop the commercial trade, and one of those drivers coming back and forth would probably eventually (likely unknowingly) bring it across. That's just reality.
See above comments. Yes, a lot of people crossing the border regularly are exempt - truck drivers. If the government simply closed the border with no exemptions at all our economy would collapse and we'd all be really hungry right now as the grocery stores would be pretty bare - we are not food self sufficient in the winter - not even close.
And if the government suddenly said to every truck driver crossing the border that they have to be locked down in a quarantine facility anytime their away from their truck, well, same ****...the drivers would all just quit.
It's all perfect world scenarios people have for "close the border", but when you share a many thousand kilometer border with a country of which you are dependent on for trade and your economy, you just can't do that.
True, but you can cause a measurable decrease in that travel. By making pleasure travel untenable, that both eliminates a ton of border crossing by entitled aholes and eliminates a large number of pilot trips out and back. Hell, for variants that popped up in UK and SA, you can probably easily cut people coming from those destinations by an order of magnitude or two (or maybe even three). US/Canada is obviously a different story as there are many many truck drivers crossing daily.
I will not disagree.
Back in the summer and the early days of fall my wife and I were talking about shooting down to Cuba just for something to do (I believe a number of us chatted about it here, maybe in this very thread), but as the numbers climbed again in the fall and given where they are now, yeah, thats not even on the radar anymore. To see people leaving the country now for pleasure travel is honestly disgusting. I agree, it should be a miserable process when you arrive home if you still insist on leaving - sure, you can leave to go spend a week drunk on a beach at Club Med, but when you come home you're getting a visit to Club Fed to the tune of $200/day per person for 14 days before we let you go. Don't like it? Don't leave the damn country.
I'm as ******* bored as everyone else right now, but yeah, personal responsibility and all....
Canadians who travel outside Canada could be stranded abroad, Trudeau warns
The government has had travel advisories warning against any non-essential travel since the beginning of the pandemic, but some Canadians have not heeded that call

is he getting a clue?!

I'm betting the vast majority of truck drivers are pretty responsible and aware of how to keep as safe as possible while on the job. And yes, they are truly essential! It's the random tourists and business people coming and going that could and should just be shut down. Why is any of that essential? What business can't be done virtually for the next few months? Leisure travel is just self indulgence. Yes; there's a few cases of a dying relative that someone must see one last time. Make an exception based on clear documentation that the situation is really that dire.
If I was going to see my dying parent, I would gladly accept the required hotel stay upon my return. If your trip isnt worth a two week hard lockdown upon return, it was obviously non-essential. If you are talking about the person dying being in canada, I am ok with an exemption process (maybe shuttle from hotel to relative and back, no alternate locations allowed under threat of hard lockdown and/or immediate deportation).
I wish I could say I agree with you, but knowing what I know of the industry, being in it and all, I'd say the odds are probably 50/50 at best.
