Our economy and global reputation as a nation of civil liberties and freedom is gone. England allows the E.U and U.S the same exemptions that they deny Creepy Canada.
No wonder nobody trusts us. Thanks to the TPS, OPP and RCMP. Yay Canada! The word is out.
The government of the United Kingdom announced today that travellers to England who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in the European Union or United States will be exempt from mandatory quarantine upon arrival — but fully vaccinated travellers from Canada will still have to undergo quarantine.
The change goes into effect on Aug. 2, according to a news release from the U.K. government. While the U.K. Department for Transport has confirmed for CBC News that the change does not apply to Canadians, no reason has been given for the exclusion.
In a statement issued to CBC News, a Department for Transport spokesperson did not say why Canadians are not exempt.
"We are taking a phased approach to restarting international travel while protecting public health," it reads. "We want to welcome all international visitors back to the U.K. and are working to extend our approach to vaccinated passengers from important markets and holiday destinations."
