Good news for Canadian aviation and Canadians. Winter vacations looking ever more likely. Knock on wood.


"The federal government says it plans to create proof-of-vaccination documentation for international travel by early fall.

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said this afternoon that Ottawa is working with the provinces — which hold the data on vaccinations — to develop consistent credentials. The minister said the government is also working with other countries to recognize the credentials issued in Canada.

The federal certification would include data on the type of vaccines received, dates and location.

"For Canadians who decide to travel, using a proof of vaccination will provide foreign border officials with the vaccination history needed to assess whether a traveller meets their public health requirements and provide a trusted and verifiable credential for when they return home," says a government release.

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the government expects the credentials to be digital but will also make it available for those without access to a device."

That's like comparing an airliner to your friend's gyrocopter.

Yes. It helps me get my ‘stuff’ past customs.

Exactly.

Your analogy captures my point of view with an eloquence I could not express.

Both are machines of the air. No difference.

I am glad you agree with me on this contentious issue.
