The night before. There just isn't a time in the wiki.
As someone who will be entering Canada, my opinion doesn't really matter, but I'm fine with that, as long as you allow antigen tests. Though I'm also fine with 2 weeks past the booster (as my personal new definition of what "vaccinated" means).
Also, a question for everyone: given that I'm sure I'm not the only one going to see older family members nex week, and we're all watching Omicron blow up at ridiculous speed, I'm wondering how anyone (besides those who will have just passed a COVID test to enter Canada) would feel about testing before we meet up on Saturday?

Of course antigen tests would be fine, I wouldn't ask someone to do a $200 PCR test just to go to the bar.

Given everything that's happened with Omicron in the last week or so, and since many of us will be going directly to visit older family members, I think testing before we all get together is the only safe way to proceed - aside from anyone who's had to test in the last 2-3 days to fly into the country.
Update: for anyone staying in or near Byward Market, I believe the LCBO at Rideau and King Ed is distributing free rapid-antigen test kits, as are some-but-not-all other LCBO locations.

Enjoy the do, all. I removed myself from the waitlist as I moved my flights up and heading back West tomorrow instead of Sunday.

I still don't understand why we haven't been able to buy Binax take-home kits all year like our friends to the south have. It sure would make this a whole lot easier.

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to cxl, as I’d like to preserve my chances of XMas dinner with limited family. Until I can get boosted, being very careful.
Was nice meeting last week, will keep the test appointment I have for tomorrow, but I have two weeks of food laid in, and am quite prepared to lock myself in from demain until Saturday, if it means I can see the ‘phews for at least a few hours since October.
Have removed name from wiki, and look forward to the next time.
TY, Matt

I've woken up with a bit of a sore throat. I feel mostly okay and it will probably clear up this morning, but out of an abundance of caution in the current environment, I'm going to cancel.
