For one thing, it's a Monday (start of new work week) and it's AFTER the Canada Day July 1st and US July 4th holiday weekend.

So No science Then !

 

[CanuckTravlr]

Really? Lots of science. We have met the first targets for vaccination that started the ball rolling to start easing restrictions in the first place. I don't know what you do for a living, but in most businesses new policies are not just announced and implemented without the resources in place to handle the new procedures. It does take a bit of time to change things. Stop trying to make everything political!

Science...mostly all those who die from covid are not vaccinated. So why the closure? Why the closure to fully vaccinated?

 

[Chrisky]

You may not like or agree with my answer but it is because we do not have enough Canadians fully vaccinated, and we are being careful.
We do not want the Delta variant to surge again. So everyone will have to be patient.

So - what is your take on why US based NHL teams have been approved to enter Canada without quarantine ?
[Also apparently NHL commissioner - Gary Bettman]

Vegas Golden Nights vs Montreal Canadiens - semi finals playoffs
Tampa Bay Lightning vs Montreal Canadiens - upcoming Stanley Cup final
******
FYI - my fully vaccinated sister who resides in Mass. CANNOT currently enter Canada without quarantining
and her fully vaccinated husband CANNOT enter AT ALL.

Both would like to visit an Ontario cottage that has been part of her life for 60 years .
(Excluding summer 2020 & probably 2021)

Your right I do not agree. Simply because one not vaccinated should have a negligible effect on those fully vaccinated. And your choosing to be not vaccinated, should never have any influence aka control on the vaccinated. The lastest new reasoning the delta variant, is said to have milder effects, even though it maybe more contagious. Still that says nothing about the fully vaccinated. If being fully vaccinated is some how not good enough, park your cars, they are just deadly. There has to be an end to what I see as government over reach, particularly when so many see it as merely a saving face aka vote saving exercise now. Testing the fully vaccinated traveler is pure vindictiveness, punitve for those choosing to travel, hoping live normally. Time to move on.

I do not have a take on the NHL. The government and the NHL have agreed to certain protocols. I was not involved with that decision. You can write to Health Canada and ask for copies of their decisions.

As for travellers returning Canada. There are different protocols for returning fully vaccinated Cdn. travellers , and only partially vaccinated. That will probably change as our percentage of vaccinated Canadians goes up.

To cross the border without the 14 days quarantine, teams must travel with a private plane, be tested for covid every day and stay in a bubble (hotel, bus, Bell Center) without contact with the general public.

So I guess - no trips to the establishments on Rue Sainte Catherine.

I am very glad the Habs are able to play at home.

I just am convinced that if it had been the Winnipeg Jets / the Jets would be playing for the Stanley Cup in Chicago or a similar US city with an available arena.

I have lived in 4 of the 6 Eastern provinces and while most of my immediate family is in Ontario, my wife and I have lots of family on both coasts. No matter where I have lived, I have been a life-long Leafs fan (hope springs eternal...maybe next year!). I was still in high school the last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup, at a time when the arch enemy was "les Habs". Nevertheless, I will always support whatever Canadian team is involved in the Stanley Cup finals. I won't even hope to dream about the idea of an all-Canadian final (manna from heaven)!

I am also happy for the Habs, both the team and their fans, that they will get to play their home games at home. I don't understand why you feel it would be different if it had been the Jets? The exemption was negotiated by the NHL with the federal government and was announced on June 6th, prior to the completion of the Habs/Jets series. So why would it not apply if the Jets had won?

There was a somewhat similar situation last year with the Toronto and Edmonton "bubbles". No one was allowed to hit the downtown bars then, either, so not sure why you feel they would be going anywhere after the games, including rue Ste-Catherine?

Vive les Habs et bonne chance! (Well at least to the end of the finals, LOL!!)

Less seats in Manitoba than Quebec.

Just hoping the US-Canada border & ALL tourism in Canada is allowed to fully re-open soon
including those on rue Ste-Catherine.......

But the seats that are available in Montreal are going for crazy prices! Fans seeking scarce Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup tickets face hefty prices | CBC News

You can be politically cynical if you like, but I prefer to focus on the positive.

In any case, the deal was announced after only game 2 of the Jets/Habs series, prior to it being known that a Canadian team would be in the finals. The negotiations were obviously well under way before that, so if the Jets had won that series, the Jets home games WOULD have been hosted in Winnipeg.

Also, just a polite reminder that the restriction on political commentary on TUG is not restricted to US politics.
