I just did the expedited passport thing and it took about ~2 weeks. Could get it done faster by going in person, but that was quick enough for my purposes. Costs a little more though.Quote:

I am not the person to ask, but I can tell you when I crossed back into the US at Frontier (US side of Patterson) they didn't ask about any type of random test result. Just asked the normal border questions, Where do you live, How long in Canada, What where you doing, do you have any booze, smokes or weed on yah...Quote:

If only one parent is present you may need a letter allowing travel from the other.Quote:

So the mountain had a policy and asked him to respect it, he refused, and the situation escalated? I don't see the cops involved.
OK so the vaccine mandates are NOT set by Justin Trudeau in Ottawa,
they are set in each province & territory by real fucking epidemiologists
but then the border is controled by CBSA so I gotta wonder which rules ?
if it seems really fucked up thats cuz its suposed to be
the feds always are
If you're beyond the 72-hour limit they won't let you across. I've made it a few times with minutes to spare, and I've talked to folks who missed the window by 5 minutes and were turned around.Quote:

That's what I've heard, too. Don't even think about cutting it close.Quote:

My father returning to the Canada this past fall, test results expired by an hour or two. They were dicks but let him in anyway. He had to quarantine for however many days, re-test, etc...it was a pain in the ass but he doesn't really need to leave home due to work, etc. No big deal. Few months later shows up a second time trying to return home, doesn't have results in a timely manner (hadn't received them yet even though he paid for testing, was promised 48 hour, blah blah blag), figures same bullshit will ensue. Wrong. $11,000 fine was offered to he and his wife because he was a "repeat offender". Or they could return to the US and try to get results in a timely manner (which took three days). All makes sense.......at least Canada has Covid Under Control
His family must be very proud of his behavior. Dad, remember that time you got wrestled to the ground at the ski hill? LolQuote:

I'm quite enjoying the same people that were all "defund the police" last year now cheering the police on as they go about their business in Ottawa.
That's like them saying the same people who cheered on the police beating down protestors, including old men not moving out of the way, are now jeering the police for "enforcing tyranny against the truckers"Quote:

Thanks for the info. Instead of PCR, I plan to take NAAT with a much faster turn around time. Skiing at W/B looks little dry right now... I had some epic pow turns today on Hood. Hope conditions improve when I get there :)Quote:

In a democratic society does the leader refuse to negotiate or listen to grievances or instead vilify and then declare emergency powers that are what amount to marshal law? In no way do the peaceful protests in Ottawa meet the high threshold requirement that was established when the Emergency Measures Act was drawn up.Quote:

since when was Canada an active war zone ?Quote:

Pretty sure he explained why. You don't go out and "negotiate" with people like this. An army of mouthbreathers show up to your door with F*CK DANOT flags - you're gonna go out and have a rational conversation with them?Quote:

actualy the truckers have very little support, they did exactly what they said they would its just that nobody believed they would, so now they get their shit fucked withQuote:

trudeau will probaby be re-elected in 25 if you don't like him don't vote for him that how its done in canada or any democracy
This is the biggest news story to come out of Canada, maybe ever. Reporters who ignore actual news stories because it doesn't fit with their agenda and narrow world view should not be in the reporting business at all.Quote:

I just hope the CPC can get a leader and platform that is worth voting for. I'm not the biggest Trudeau fan either, but in order for him to go there needs to be a viable option. Just repeating "I'm not Justin" isn't enough, but they keep going back to that same well for some reason.Quote:

we actulay don't know how the reporters felt cuz it was the EDITOR who wrote an EDITORIAL stating he refused to cover anti vaxers in small town BC cuz they are all more fucked than the normal run of the mill protesters
which in effect means the newspaper did cover the event by telling the town they were not covering it
so that is the story
And really small town newspaper reporters don't make enough money to risk getting beat up
don' t you have a crayon somwhere that needs eating ?
