COVID-19 testing at land borders also being considered, foreign affairs minister says
Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau says the federal government won't rule out invoking the federal Emergencies Act to limit travel as parts of the country continue to experience high infection rates of COVID-19.
"We are looking at all potential actions to make sure that we can achieve our aims. The Emergencies Act is something you don't consider lightly," Garneau said in a Sunday interview on Rosemary Barton Live.

When the lockdown lead to economic collapse, which lead to social unrest and mass death this is the political equivalent of Indians running a herd of buffalo over a cliff.
The Indians were looking for food. Politicians are looking for increasing social stratification, wealth and power.
It works, we did it in Australia and the virus has been practicably erradicated
Improving ? Cm9n
