I am an Australian Citizen and I still cannot get into Australia. That says something.

Australian citizens can't return? I thought they just had to do hotel quarantine.

In May , two or three Australian permanent residents or citizens died of COVID in India as they were not allowed to return to Australia.

Indeed. I can enter the country IF I can find a flight there (which I cannot).

The reason is they didn't want to pay the premium prices Canada was willing to pay. I can appreciate that POV, since Covid-19 was not really prevalent in ANZ. But now ANS, like Japan is essentially cut off from the rest of the western world since they don't dare open their borders even to vaccinated Canadians, Americans, Brits or Euros.

As well, early on, they were planning to rely on a homegrown vaccine. it did well in Stage 1 trials, but was dropped due to "false positive HIV result due to a protein contained in the potential vaccine"

Still 35% higher than where we were on June 25, 2020 with 189 cases. By early August 2020 we were well below 100 cases and beginning to open up again..... to our detriment. I want to see if our numbers stay flat past Labour Day and into the autumn of 2021 - that would demonstrate that the vaccine, not summer outdoors and distancing is making the difference this time.

Are we able to freely cross the border into Quebec or is it still essential travel only?

 

[PinkLucy]

Border restrictions were lifted.

I went to a restaurant in Montreal with friends yesterday. Can't believe we're still a month from that here. So slow.
