We have been in this pandemic over a year now and cases are still climbing because of the different variants.

How are the variants getting into Canada? If it’s because of travel from outside of this country, why has our government not closed our airports to people landing here from outside of Canada?

What’s the point of all the provinces going into partial lockdown, if people are free to enter our country from abroad, who might well be carrying the variant virus.

We should learn from other countries that have restricted travel from outside of their country and may be our cases would not continue to climb.
