They added scenarios to exclude full hotel quaratine for those that leave to seek medical care, attending sports events, and other compassionate grounds.

There's also a vague exception for exclusion if one participates in projects (I'm assuming the YYC pilot project) but not sure.
Why is attending sporting events either essential or compassionate? Could the snowbirds currently in Florida just go to spring practice or even some junior high or pick-up game in a park? Just buy a ticket to something as proof and don't even go? It also seems to include the recent super-spreader event known as the SuperBowl. I fail to see any logic here.
