But if that were true, they could just also make the testing anonymous… What’s insane is that they continue to enforce more punitive restrictions on those that enter the country testing positive versus those that acquire the virus in Canada.
If they really just want to know what new variants might exist they could easily bring back in airport testing but just have staff swabbing random people as they exit, don’t take names or numbers.
