i pointed out roughly a year ago that the white papers that came out of sars - written not just by the canadian government, but the canadian government under a liberal leader - strongly urged against travel restrictions, because the economic effects associated with them would be disastrous, and the efficacy would be minimal to non-existent.

and, the white papers were right - surprise!

...and justin trudeau, taking advice from evan solomon through a filter of trumpist logic, was wrong. no surprise... 

it's the perfect example of the dunning-kruger effect, and the best example against aristocracy we've had plopped in front of us in decades.

in the end, we'll let history sort this out. for now, we'll need to wait until we have an election before we can get rid of these border restrictions, and the evidence in front of us isn't going to matter much.
