Nope, nobody has requested it. Although I just got tagged AGAIN and the e-mail says "Travellers who can provide proof of a prior positive COVID-19 molecular test result taken at least 10 calendar days and no more than 180 calendar days before entering Canada should report this when entering the country or by calling 1-833-641-0343 as soon as possible."

That text was not in the August 2nd version of the e-mail.

Obviously I've already entered the country so can't provide it when entering, which makes that particular bit of the e-mail a complete waste of electrons, not to mention the 800 hours of bureaucrats' time that went in to writing it, re-writing it, debating every last word, making sure it was consistent in both official languages...

I'm very tired of my tax dollars being frittered away on this nonsense.
