Canada's Covid Concentration Camp Conundrum

[Pavel Mosko]

Yes I'm using the word "Concentration Camp" a little loose for the sake of rhetoric and alliteration (kind of like "Kids in Cages").

Last month Canada began interning Covid positive travelers entering Canada.
The people are being housed in hotel rooms and other facilities, but often they cannot lock the door to their room and people are getting attacked and sometimes raped.

I don't think this has really made the news, except for Tucker Carlson covering it. So we don't really know what the Facilities look like etc.

I am currently watching Canadian Lawyer and video Blogger Viva Frei who has lots of great commentary on American and Canadian legal events (including political ones). He's going to talk about Canada's Covid response in general. I'm guessing he will cover this at least in passing, but he is always really interesting and educational to watch regardless.

They do make the independent news agencies here. There's plenty of reporting and opinions if one is so inclined to look for it. It's not like I'm buying newspapers anymore, it's all online.

Before Tucker starts calling Trudeau an idiot he should remember that in TX they were prepared to...
Judge Shelton said there have not yet been any cases of coronavirus patients refusing to quarantine, but he explained some of the court's options if it were to happen.


"Putting them under a court order to stay at home, to where someone would check on them to ensure they are being in compliance," he said in a phone interview with 12News. "There were discussions about using ankle monitoring to ensure that. I mean the most extreme case, of course, would place someone in a secure facility until the disease runs its course."


Shelton said this is just a proactive measure so that the state is prepared.

Out-of-state travelers don't have a home to go to, so it's a hotel for them.

Failure to abide by a quarantine is a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Many of the state’s quarantine laws were established after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks that followed.

Forced quarantine must suck especially in a hotel room where all you can get is 24/7 FOX News and endless 'reality' TV shows.

Especially if the food is sub-par or you are having to survive off of vending machines. There can be no excuse for this inhumane suspension of liberties. Well ok maybe 4 days in a hotel eating gummi bears is slightly better than 4 months of working 12 hour shifts in full PPE on a covid ward unable to go home to your family for fear of passing a deadly virus on to them, or perhaps 4 weeks on a ventilator gasping for every single breath.

But still it's important to remember that, as a Covid+ve ambassador, my right to walk around breathing on people, is a fundamental human one, and people need to respect my right to cough on them, or serve them food, or brush past their grandmother on a crowded street....because otherwise we are all gonna be living in Nazi Germany or even worse Canada.

I had to read this twice to realize what you did. Well done.

Public Health didn't order locks removed from quarantine hotel doors, Commons safety committee told | National Post

Iain Stewart, president of the Public Health Agency of Canada, responded there are locks on all the doors of the designated quarantine facilities PHAC runs.

“Of course, the private-sector hotels that we’re referring to here had no direction from us at any time to remove locks or any security devices of any nature,” he said.

The committee launched the study after reports of two incidents of sexual assault involving returning travellers in mandatory quarantine. On Feb. 17, a woman was assaulted by a fellow traveller at a quarantine hotel in Montreal, and a day later, a quarantine screening officer demanded cash from a woman and then assaulted her at her home in Oakville, Ont. Two men have been charged with sexual assault and other charges in relation to the incidents.
