September 27, 2022

September 27th is the 270th day of the year. There are 95 days remaining until the end of the year.

Canada is dropping all COVID-19 border restrictions for anyone entering Canada, including: proof of COVID-19 vaccination, quarantine and isolation requirements as well as all pre- or on-arrival COVID-19 testing.

Canada is also making the ArriveCan application optional, and is lifting the mask mandate and health check requirements for travellers on planes and trains.

These changes come into effect Saturday, October 1st.

This also means:

• Foreign nationals won’t need to be vaccinated to enter the country;
• Incoming travellers to major airports won’t be subject to random mandatory COVID-19 tests;
• Unvaccinated Canadians will no longer have to isolate when they return and if someone is mid-isolation as of Oct. 1 they won’t have to complete the remainder;
• Travellers will not have to monitor or report if they develop COVID-19 symptoms upon arrival;
• Submitting public health information through the ArriveCan app prior to landing will become optional; and
• It’ll no longer be mandatory to wear a face mask while travelling on planes or trains.

Canada is still strongly recommending travellers to wear high-quality and well-fitting masks and make informed decisions when travelling.

Supply chain issues are affecting some deliveries of new vehicles for Ford.

It’s not a delay in transmissions, brakes or a major engine component; it’s badges. The classic Ford Blue Oval that adorns their vehicles inside and out. Some individual model emblems are also in short supply.

Ford has been presented with the option of 3D-printed substitutes, however quality standard concerns sidelined the proposal. The shortage is hitting the company’s F-Series pickups the hardest.
