Having received his COVID-19 vaccine, Clayton Outwater did what he’d been wanting to do since the start of the pandemic: He booked a Caribbean cruise.
The week-long Norwegian Cruise Line voyage isn’t slated to depart New Orleans until Jan. 23, 2022, but Outwater, 81, hopes the Canadian government will ease international travel restrictions long before then.
“I’ve got until Sept. 25 to cancel and get my money back or rebook,” the Hamilton resident says. His trip hinges on the lifting of rules that require all returning travellers to quarantine for a minimum of 14 days, starting with a mandatory three-night prepaid booking at a government-authorized hotel. “I love cruises, but not that much,” he adds.

More Than a Threat: China Collects Americans’ DNA
Commentary
In the past few years, the United States has come to the realization and consensus that China, with its ambition to achieve global domination and its complete disregard for ethics and humanity, has become the number one threat to the United States and the rest of the free world.
Espionage by China has long been a known threat, and each day the world learns a little bit more about the extensive reach of China’s information theft in many territories. The most recent discovery is that China has been openly and discreetly collecting America’s health care data, notably the DNA of the American people.
