ArriveCAN app
Posted date : Jul 21, 2022.
Good on the CSA for helping get Ontario back on track with health care. While down south, I hope to get the same muscle used on the FEDS regarding the highly annoying, redundant and just plain overkill of the “ArriveCAN” app. I hate to align myself with the “FREEDOM” wingnuts but, on this issue, they are right. It is invasive and restricts our ability to move across the border. It should NOT be easier to cross than to just return to my own country.
Aside from the fact that the app NEVER works, it is blatantly discriminatory to ALL seniors, the not-entirely wealthy and anybody who does not have a computer or smartphone (I would guess that this is maybe 20% of the population!). After missing my time down south (California) for the last two years due to COVID, I do not need to fight my own country just to get back in. Anything that the CSA can do would help. Thanks,

Ed.: It makes me crazy, too. I, personally, do not carry a cellphone − so what is a person to do? My wife assures me that it does occasionally work.
