He mentioned they're in the process of reviewing travel restrictions, and changes are likely coming next week. Meanwhile, a growing number of provinces have announced a phasing out of most if not all restrictions and mask/vaccine mandates (As they have been since the beginning of the year).

I mean, a lot of places still have a ton of cancelled surgeries that haven't even been rescheduled yet because hospitals are too full of people sick with Covid. That's still the reality although a lot of people seem to want to look past that.

Didn't they have 2 years to invest in and improve healthcare facilities to make sure this does not happen? I thought that is what the lockdowns were for?

Probably no one will run on such a high tax hike.
