My issue right now...

1. govt keeps on downplaying infection rate is low. Yes for Canadians in canada, but no if Canadians are travelling to Asia Pac (depending on your specific location)

2. also unlike other govt/airlines/hotel chains that have taken proactive stance, govt and Air Canada takes a wait and see approach

3. govt doesn’t update travel advisory to discourage travel and therefore airlines like Air Canada are refusing to issue waivers/cancellation and unable to claim trip interruption/cancellation insurance.

quite a number of us are stuck in this infinite loop

Honestly this is no different from CA wildfires a few years back when Air Canada refused to issue waiver to SFO until being pressured to do so otherwise later on
