The Prime Minister has a blunt message, if you get stuck there, Canada won’t help bring you home.

We’ve heard the stories of Ontario snowbirds flying via helicopter to Buffalo Airport where they pick up their vehicles they had shipped across the border before driving to Florida or other sunny destinations.

Well, the Prime Minister has a blunt message for them, if you get stuck there, Canada won’t help bring you home.

Justin Trudeau making it clear yesterday there will be no mass repatriations.

Starting tomorrow incoming air travelers to Canada will have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test before they are allowed into the country.
