It would be interesting to see a breakdown on the costs knowing what hotels charge for a room for one night , meals, laundry and whatever .

Can't follow the government logic here. It would appear that the Trudeau creature is stoned out of his mind on the medical marijuana or has motives that he won't disclose.

So Paul, Trudeau does indeed have a love affair with the Chinese.
As for provincial travel bans, seems crazy to me that a Canadian cannot freely travel within their own country. As for the American boarder being closed. I hear there are still Americans getting into Canada via BC on the grounds that they are heading to their vacation home in Alaska then they never go.

As a matter of interest, Trudeau's Minister Foreign Affairs, namely François-Philippe Champagne, currently owes that Chinese state owned Bank of China $1.2 million on two mortgages on London UK properties when he was working in the UK and before he entered politics. The properties are in Shoreditch and Bayswater. Further, Champagne has stated in 2017 to a Chinese state-backed TV station that China is “a beacon of stability, predictability, a rules-based system, a very inclusive society”.

Trudeau, in full knowledge of all this, has taken no action against Champagne.

This would suggest to any thinking person that Trudeau not only approves of his ministers being indebted to foreign state owned businesses but that he has no problem with Champagne's adulation of a government not adverse to using all kinds of leverage to expand its influence, including threats and bullying to intimidate and silence activists in Canada (Amnesty International).

I have no information regarding Americans entering BC to transit to their properties in Alaska, but remaining instead of continuing onwards. Wouldn't surprise me but quite frankly I don't see the advantage to staying in expensive BC.

The lack of freedom for inter-provincial travel is troublesome for many Canadians. I expect that it will be resolved by the courts in due time.
