Hello
Yes that is the crock of it all, you can fly in and out and "so called quarantine for 14 days" to most places in the World, yet your screened at the USA land boarder for entry. Yet many just say "Gong to Alaska" and over they came. Now to get on a plane you must pay for a private Covid Test and you are followed up on when you get home.
You still can drive from a Province on Lock Down to shop freely here and stay in a hotel, visit a ski resort or local hotel (cheep rates on now). We are free to go to any restaurant and eat out with friends. They are all social distanced yet cant have that same friend over to our home. There are so many gaps in it all but its how its set up.
I work retail and customers are NOT giving us our 6 foot space or respects and employees feel they are OK to stand right nest to each other as we have been "Temp Checked" at the door coming to work. So again flaws in the system.
We have a lot more freedoms than many in Canada as our numbers have been pretty good, and we have cluster traceable outbreaks. That is not to say we are in the clear. One of our Ski Hills has a outbreak.
In our last Lock Down Home Improvement stores were deemed "essential service so the lines there for Garden Season were unreal. I never went to any of them, I was house bound ill that whole time with severe Sciatica.
It makes no sense at all what is allowed and what is not allowed. I heard that in Manitoba that the police were monitoring streets at Christmas to see whom was going in and out of houses. That police choppers were in the air looking around.
We are looking at closing the road boarders in BC for the long weekend to come. Will see we rely on the tourist income so much here another season gone will be hard on many more.

What I've found curious is that our Canuck friends and neighbors - actually snowbirding right now in my winter home resort in Arizona the lucky people - were able to fly into AZ but were unable to cross the border by road. As far as I can ascertain there have been no special restrictions on their movements once they're in AZ.
There appears to be fewer restrictions in AZ than in their home provinces. I'm guessing they'll be able to fly back into Canada without landing restrictions when spring arrives in AZ and it gets too hot for most.
Some might stay in AZ longer, though, if there are tougher restrictions at home!
