J. Miller and M. Lapierre should be embarrassed for writing this drivel. Finding 2 people in a crowded airport who share your opinion is not journalism.

So many leftist whinnying

Great, easy to use app. I will continue to use it!

There are many people in Ottawa & around the country that would like all mandates & restrictions to end.

This is BS lol. Everyone is happy these useless rules are finally ending. It’s about time.

No they’re not! Lol

These parents taking their 6 and 9 year old kids to Vietnam on vacation during the school year don't represent the avg Canadian. It serves no purpose. Being vaccinated doesn't stop you from getting sick or spreading Covid. End the mandates, end ArriveCan and TrudeauMustGo

You can’t fly direct to anywhere in Europe out of YOW, gotta go to Montreal, or TO. Really annoying.
