There is no mandatory 14 day hotel quarantine. 3 nights in the hotel, then you can go home and do the rest of the 14 days there. But yah, I know, many here have reading comprehension issues when it comes finding details past the drama in a headline.

Air traveller requirements

reserve a government-authorized hotel for 3 nights prior to departure to Canada
take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival in Canada
stay in the government-authorized hotel while awaiting the results of the COVID-19 molecular test taken on arrival
pay for the cost of the hotel stay, as well as all associated costs for:
food
security
transportation
infection prevention and control measures

Travellers must present proof of having reserved and pre-paid for their accommodation through ArriveCAN.

Travellers will still be required to complete the remainder of the mandatory 14-day quarantine after their mandatory hotel stopover.

Reading comprehension aside, you left out the part where if you test positive in that three days(at an average of 1500-2000 dollars), you will be required to quarantine at a government site(?) at whose expense, I have no idea. Taxpayer or the quarantined person, either way it’s not conducive to travel.
It’s completely absurd that no aide is forthcoming yet the government imposed the restrictions.
I truly hope we have a spring election and the liberal party miscalculated the amount of voters who are affected by their lack of support, my vote won’t make a difference, my riding has been conservative for as long as I can remember.

“Travellers who test positive for COVID-19 or who display symptoms will be transferred to a Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) designated quarantine facility (DQF).

You will be required to isolate for 14 days from when the sample was collected“

Meanwhile, in the US:

• American Airlines has already paid off a 550 million dollar Covid relief loan;
• United Airlines is expected to report they were cash-flow positive last month for the first time since the outbreak began;
• Southwest orders 100 B737 Max with options on another 155;
• US pax loads hit 1.5 million/day, highest since pandemic start.

Still a lot lower than 2.1 - 2.6 million/day in 2019, but at the peak of the pandemic it was 184,000/day.

There are signs that America's airline industry is bouncing back

I think the chances of US carriers encroaching into Canada are increasing by the day. Policies can only hold out against economics for so long and it's eminently clear the Liberal government doesn't exactly have survival of the Canadian aviation industry as a priority.

To put it mildly.
