Lilley: There are three big lies told about Canada’s border situation during COVID. Unfortunately, too often, they are being repeated rather than challenged.
First off, there’s the claim that we have the “most stringent” measures in the world, that non-essential travel is banned and, finally, that only Canadians are allowed into the country at this time.
While the Trudeau government continues to maintain that Canada has “the most stringent” border measures in the Western world, recent headlines would say otherwise.
Last Thursday, the Sun reported just 16% of people crossing at the land border are actually tested for COVID-19 before being allowed to enter the country. More than 750,000 people crossed into Canada by land between Feb. 22 and May 4, but just over 120,000 people were tested.
