The expansion of who can enter Canada comes after increasing public pressure on the Liberal government to show more compassion to families separated during an increasingly stressful time

Those who don’t directly qualify under the expanded family rules will be able to apply to enter for compassionate reasons.The specifics around how compassionate entry and the expanded family list will work are to be rolled out next week.

At the same time, however, the government announced it will beef up efforts to monitor travellers who are required to quarantine for a full 14 days after arriving in Canada. He said measures to keep Canadians safe can be implemented and improved while showing more compassion for divided families who don’t pose a risk to public health.

liberal_party JustinTrudeau = CRICKETS — But let’s talk FIPA, let’s ignore ethics, law, and forget about any defined plan of continuity protecting jobs/economy/future -🤦‍♂️

Does that mean I can go see my family in the maritimes? because last I checked - since I’m not a resident of the Atlantic provinces I can’t go home - maybe the federal govt should help Canadians with that first?

With Que and Ont having COVID increases, this is another stupid move by the Liberals A lot of people don't quarantine themselves still Trudeau keeps swinging and keeps striking out!!!

I'd love to know if taxpayers will be on the hook for hotels if required for the 14 day quarantine? Not like it hasn't happened before!

When we are trying to prevent more COVID-19 spread it is not a good move. I’m sorry but I can’t see my family due to COVID-19 risk nor can many at risk Canadians, we don’t need more people coming into Canada 🇨🇦

Liberals cite COVID-19 for unchanged blood donation ban policyWhile COVID-19 has prompted calls for blood donations due to a shortage, the pandemic is also putting off the Liberals' promise to open up donor eligibility to gay men and some other folks in the LGBTQ community, according to federal Diversity and Inclusion Minister Bardish Chagger. Interesting situation: anyone ever ask the victims or families of those impacted by the tainted blood scandal (HIV & HepC)? Many didn't receive fair compensation thanks to the Liberals covering up their own involvement. Lying and coverups is nothing new for the Liberal party.
