Seems Ottawa will be allowing NHL players,staff etc to enter Canada WITHOUT the 14 day MANDATORY quarantine !! How is that fair to the rest of Canadians who must isolate for 2 weeks? Guess Buttman sent Trudope a big fat cheque. Will the various Provincial Municipal Govts. ALLOW the teams to use facilities whether they be private or public owned while in lockdown?

It's not Trudeau's jurisdiction, it's up to each of the provinces to allow Canadian NHL teams to travel. They are not crossing the border. Canadian teams are staying in the Canada bubble.

Last time I looked the Federal Govt. is in charge of the Airports Borders Immigration.

Still on about this?

Tell me, when will Canadian teams be required to cross international borders?

Has Doug Ford signed off on NHL games being played at Scotia Bank Arena?
It's a done deal. No fans allowed at the games. Canadian teams stick to a Canada bubble. No American teams will play in Canada. Only 1 Canadian team will travel to the States for the final 4 of the playoffs.

No, nor at Canadian Tire Centre.
I don't think it's Ford who would sign off (I'm not sure), but the Chief Medical Officer of the province.

I heard Quebec is going into a full on lockdown with curfews. How is Montreal going to play?

No idea.

That's more of a question for the Province of Quebec Chief Medical Officer.

Perhaps things have changed since the announcement was made that Habs could play?

Mental Health experts talk about what this lockdown and COVID restrictions have done to people who have to now sit at home and do nothing waiting for this end, being bored to the point where it is affecting their mental health.

Now here comes the NHL who are willing to play the games and put them on TV to give some of us a little bit of a release and break from it all...God bless them, I appreciate it.
