Time to scrap the ArriveCan app?
My question this week: What are your thoughts on the ArriveCan app and would you like to see its use termi nated or continued as a permanent requirement to enter Canada?
Welcome boating visitors
V0H 1X7 250 767 7771 published by Aberdeen Publishing Inc. Robert
Many in the tourism and accommodation sectors of our economy have raised the chal lenge of lost revenue, as many regular visitors from outside of Canada refuse to visit Canada citing concerns with the requirement to use the ArriveCan app. For many border towns across Canada, there has been almost unanimous opposition against the app due to lost economic opportunities as many USA citizens are refusing to cross the border due to ArriveCan. I have also heard from citizens, often seniors, who will no longer travel to the United States, either because they do not have a smart phone capable of downloading the app, or because they oppose the app on principle.
Likewise, if you received a false quarantine order, the Trudeau Liberal Government has not set up any type of an appeal or resolution process to have an error rectified.
Recently Global News reported that a glitch in the ArriveCan app created a situation where 10,000 fully vaccinated Canadians were falsely instructed to quarantine themselves for 14 days solely because of an error. Worse, it took the Government of Canada 12 days to become aware of the error and report this information to the citizens involved. While the government refuses to disclose exactly what was the cause of this error, it has been reported that these 10,000 quarantine orders were sent out automatically and elec tronically by the ArriveCan app through an automated decision-making process.

Although the ArriveCan app was introduced as a temporary pandemic related require ment, the Trudeau Liberal Government refuses to announce, either a proposed withdrawal date or a clarification if they intend to try and make this app a permanent requirement for entry into Canada, as has been floated in the media.
In other words, you can be electronically ordered to quarantine without any recourse.
The cost of the ArriveCan app is reported to be close to $24.7 million and was devel oped through an untendered partnership that involved five private sector companies.

So, I read the ar ticle in the July 29, 2022 Peachland View, and I feel compelled to comment: Absolutely no boats of any size should be “hog ging” the day wharf, and yes, this is something that certain individuals have re peatedly gotten away with for years. Others obtain and pay for moorage, or trailer boats out of the lake. There should be hefty tickets left for those abus ing the timeline of the day wharf usage, impeding the sharing of the wharf with others.Ifthere is a 10 or 20 min ute drop off period, that certainly is not adequate. Countless people come to town by boat from all over and visit the restaurants and pubs for breakfasts, lunch es, and dinners, ice cream, shopping, farmer’s market, gas, etc. A more adequate time line should be two hours; sufficient time to eat and/ or Weshop.are members of the boating community, and this is something that we are repeatedly told people love to do. These boating visitors are spending good money in our town to sup port our businesses. A discussion that many of us have had over the years is the concept of charging for moorage spots, just like street parking. They do this at Kelowna Downtown Ma rina. You tie up in one of the hourly spots, grab your ticket from the parking me ter, and place it face-up on your dash. They charge $5 for 30 minutes or less, $10 for one hour, and $5 for each additional hour. There could be a twohour maximum stay. And heavy fines for exceeding that. This is all done by credit card these days, so no cash collection would be necessary. This could be a summer job for a lo cal student to monitor on weekends and evenings. We could follow a similar model, and the town would make additional funds to pay for marina mainte nance.So yes, good riddance hogs, but welcome boating visitors! Sandi Rusch, Peachland

The judges were very impressed to discover that when Lynda bought her house five years ago the garden was mainly weeds and she has created the yard from scratch, without the use of professional landscapers on a challenging steep hillside.
