Thay claire Newell from travel best bets erc. Was on the radio a while back saying she bought the travel ones for the states and the results turned out to be invalid so she had to go pay for another one anyways.

I would think the ICU numbers would be more telling of that story. I don't recall hearing stories of people being turned away from the ICU if they needed a bed in one. If you are denied an ICU bed, then you're pretty much dead.

Easy. | But this is eligible for travel?

Those rapid tests you just pick up from the pharmacy though have no written record of your results?

proof of a professionally administered or observed negative antigen test taken outside of Canada no more than 1 day before your scheduled flight or entry to Canada by land or water
| So no, self administered won't cut it.

Literally no one is saying that. The closest it’s gotten to that is, it really isn’t that big of a deal, or acknowledging that it’s gonna come back asap and just piss everyone off again.
They are going to announce masks are gone on Thursday anyways most likely so your broken heart will be mended shortly.

Can't wait for all the snide remarks from strangers going "Oh honey, you know you don't have to wear that anymore right" or something to that effect to me in public.

I’ve been getting used to that in my condo building, I live on the first floor so I don’t need to use the elevator and don’t wear a mask in the hallways…. Her lots of dirty looks 
(I would wear one in the elevator if I used it though)

So one can't use a test provider by a Canadian pharmacy (approved in Canada), and taken outside of Canada?
How fucking ridiculous 
So you can't use any rapid purchasable tests? You have to have it conducted directly at a pharmacy abroad?
