from Doug Smith of the Toronto Star,
In no way, shape or form should our federal government do anything “special” to relax border restrictions on Canadians coming back to the country or others trying to enter Canada simply to appease hockey fans who won’t be able to go see the games anyway.
And shame on any city or provincial officials – and, yeah, I’m looking at you Toronto and Edmonton – who think for even a second about lobbying Ottawa to change its policies.
This is so, so, so much bigger than what misguided sense of “pride” someone might get from having 10 professional hockey teams play in empty arenas in their cities.
Hopefully, and I have to be optimistic that this will be the case, the federal government will see past any ploy to get them to change policies in place for the greater society just to appease a minority of pucks fans who won’t be able to get near the games or the players anyway.
