Canada halts passenger flights from India, Pakistan — effective at midnight

He says cargo flights will still be allowed, particularly to ensure shipments of vaccines and personal protective equipment can continue.

Shipments of vaccine to Canada, however, are suspended by India likely until at least June, as the country battles its biggest surge of COVID-19 yet.

More than 300,000 people were diagnosed in India today, its highest single-day total to date.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu says half of the people who are testing positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Canada on an airplane came from India, even though Indian flights accounted for only one-fifth of air traffic.

She says passengers coming from Pakistan are also testing positive at higher rates than average.

Alghabra says there are no flights coming in from Brazil at the moment but Canada won’t hesitate to ban further commercial flights if the data supports it.

At least 32 flights from Delhi and two from Pakistan have landed in Canada in the past two weeks carrying dozens of passengers who later tested positive for COVID-19.

US will probably follow suit soon.

This won't go over well with Canada's large "Indo" community, most of whom voted for Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party.

Scientist belive the real death number in India due to covid is in the millions, not 185k

Go to the Daily Mail and look at the article about cremations. There are whole outside parks turned into cremation centers.
Bodies are being burned in every open area around India 24/7

India is lying through their teeth.

As a Conservative Party member from Vancouver, the reason is because the Con part screwed them, the same way the GOP turned RINO. I know how they think: a lot of my classmates in HS were either Sikh or Punjabi and I got along with them. You stab them in the back more than once, you have an enemy for life. They are NOT purely woke nor leftards: the new generation just got mesmerized by leftard talking points.

“Scientists believe” has lost all credibility”

Well, when the gov’t says only 20 people died in one area due to covid but one ofthe local hospitals which is 100% covid patients has 150-200 dying per day...and the local crematorium owner is saying pre covid he did 20 cremations per day and now he is doing over 300 and he is just one of 16 crematoriums in the local town.

Continue to keep your head in the sand.

All the Indians (and Asians) I know are conservative in their values and life outlook. We have to find a way to convince them they need to ditch the dems. Maybe the tax hikes will do it.

If not for open states and rapid vaccines we would be the same. I know Indian doctors that practice here. My friends. People are dying in huge numbers.

No, its still credible as a fact determination source. If something has two choices, it means the opposite is true. If it is a number, divide or multiply by 100 depending on the agenda being pushed.

How racist of Justin.

Well, the corrupt corporate media said president Trump was racist when he did it.

Hey Canuck, how is Castro’s boy doing in the polls?
