    Government of Canada updates mandatory requirements for travellers entering Canada - Canada.ca

    In addition, all travellers arriving in Canada will be required to wear a non-medical mask or face covering to proceed to their final destination where they will isolate or quarantine. They will be provided with a mask if they do not have one.

    • This Order is mandatory and will come into force and be implemented one minute after midnight on April 15, 2020.
    • The Order applies to all people entering Canada, with few exceptions. Certain persons who cross the border regularly to ensure the continued flow of goods and essential services, or individuals who receive or provide other essential services to Canadians, are exempt from the requirements to quarantine themselves, as long as they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 upon entry in Canada.
    • Persons exempt from mandatory quarantine are still required to wear an appropriate mask or face covering upon entry into Canada and while in transit, and should otherwise respect the intent of the Order to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in Canada.
    • Spot checks will be conducted by the Government of Canada to verify compliance.
    • Maximum penalties include a fine of up to $750,000 or imprisonment for six months, or both, for failure to comply with this Order.
    I have no problem wearing a mask when at the border but while in transit?

    It’s like one of the times when a shipper told me I was required to wear a safety vest while inside my truck, I asked them if I needed it while I’m sleeping because Im not sure it’s needed to be safe in my dreams, let’s say he wasn’t to pleased with that question.

    You may want to pay particular attention to this part....
    "A person who causes a risk of imminent death or serious bodily harm to another person while willfully or recklessly contravening the Quarantine Act or the regulations could be liable for a fine of up to $1,000,000 or imprisonment of up to three years, or both."

    When I was told I had spanish flu in the ER new years day and actually had home isolation with a caregiver from time to time for about 5 weeks total I thought man 2020 is going to be something else.

    Little did I know.

    The best thing is to do is chain up, lockers up add horses and keep rolling no matter what life throws at you.
