On October 1st 2022, the Government of Canada removed all COVID-19 border measures such as required proof of vaccination, random testing, and mandatory isolation for high-risk travelers. For the first time since early 2020, the Canadian border is operating under “normal” conditions. For example: Americans interested in visiting Canada no longer need to download the […]
As of April 1st 2022, the Canadian border will no longer require a pre-arrival negative COVID-19 test from fully vaccinated travellers entering or returning to the country. Previously, a rapid antigen test or a PCR test indicating a person does not have COVID was required by border authorities. This rule change should encourage Canadians to […]
After being closed for nearly 19 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on November 8th 2021 the United States land border officially opened to all fully vaccinated Canadians.

Most Canadians are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Consequently, Canadians are starting to think about international travel again, and are beginning to research possible vacation destinations. This leads to the question, which countries can a fully vaccinated Canadian visit? As of July 2021, Canadian citizens who have received two doses of the Pfizer, Moderna, or […]

I’ve seen people suggesting this is a pitch to seniors and, while it is in a way, the real target of this are their kids.
They’re the ones who would otherwise have to shoulder the financial burden on their own and/or personally provide the care for their elderly parents themselves.

“You will not hear about how he is going to try to bring the country
together, find common ground,” Harris continues. “That is why I believe in
my soul and heart; the American people are ready to turn the page.”

Trump cancelled – he is too addled now to survive an interview with an actual
journalist:
For more than half a century, the major party candidates for president have
sat down with 60 Minutes. This year, Vice President Kamala Harris and former
President Donald Trump accepted our invitation. Unfortunately, last week
Trump canceled.

VP Harris says since Donald Trump canceled his interview with 60 Minutes,
voters should watch his rallies instead. “You’re going to hear conversations
that are about himself and all of his personal grievances,” she said. “What
you will not hear is anything about you.”
