The federal government is considering ending the COVID-19 vaccination mandate at the border and scrapping random testing requirements.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet have yet to make a final decision, but several sources confirmed ministers will soon consider ended the use of the unpopular ArriveCAN app.
This move follows after A constitutional freedoms group filed a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Canada against the mandatory use of the ArriveCAN app.
The legal challenge was launched by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) on behalf of 11 Canadians who were allegedly fined or ordered to quarantine for 14 days after returning to Canada.
“The applicants involved in this legal challenge have received fines of up to $8,500 each and been forced to disclose private medical information via ArriveCAN,” the group stated in a news release.

A report prepared for the Liberal Party of Canada in June of 2022 shows that the vaccines have little benefit for those under 60 further recommending that it is time to end travel mandates.
Report:
A Deeper Dive into the Publicly Available Ontario Data on COVID-19 Vaccination
“it is evident that the Ontario data presented in this report support that COVID-19 vaccines can benefit those 60 years and older and especially, those at least 70 years of age. However, it is not so clear that they benefit those under 60 years of age. Consequently, one must question mass vaccination programs, mandates, passports and travel bans for all age groups, given the adverse events and the unknown long-term effects of the vaccines.”
