FLASHBACK: CBC promoted Trudeau propaganda claiming there were no plans to forcibly send Canadians to quarantine sites

The CBC called information on Canadians being forcibly detained "disinformation", when in fact Canadians returning to Canada from abroad are indeed being forcibly detained, by any definition of the term.

"A disinformation campaign falsely suggests that Canadians will be forcibly sent to quarantine sites," says the tweet.

From the original CBC article:

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that he had to personally reassure a young woman during a recent virtual meeting that his government will not remove people from their homes to put them in containment facilities. He said he told her that she should turn to public health officials for accurate information on the pandemic."

"'I had to explain that as we consume increasing amounts and various sources of information, online and around us, we need to continue to be attentive to source,' Trudeau said."

"Trudeau said nefarious foreign actors and Canadians with an 'extremist agenda' are bent on 'weakening people's confidence in our institutions and our democracy' by pushing bogus theories online without evidence."

"'There is a tremendous amount of noise and and harmful misinformation about on the internet ... we need to hold together and resist people who would sow chaos within our communities and our democracy,' he said."

The fact is that if you are Canadian and you are returning to Canada from outside of the country, you may very well be subject to involuntary quarantine. Canadians are not forced out of their homes, but rather, they must remain in a government facility or face heavy fines.

New legislation introduced at the end of January requires Canadians arriving from foreign countries to quarantine in hotels at their own expense. While the new laws are under legal challenge by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, they currently still stand.

The same Oct. 20 CBC article says:

"Like public health agencies in Australia and India, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has set up quarantine sites across the country to accommodate international travellers who don't have access to safe places to quarantine. There are now such facilities in nine Canadian cities — most of them hotels — with the capacity to lodge up to 1,600 travellers."

"'These designated quarantine sites were established to accommodate travellers who did not have suitable isolation/quarantine plans, as well as those being repatriated at the onset of the pandemic,' a Health Canada spokesperson said."

As of this writing, no word is available on what happens when a Canadian citizen returning from abroad can't afford 14 days worth of hotel stays.
