The easy restrictions were closing those airports. A year later and people pour into the country from all over the globe while old timers with two vaccine doses are still locked down.

Golf is still allowed in Manitoba, but as of Saturday morning, only household members are allowed to play with each other. This restriction will end on Tuesday night.
Who knew Covid was only active on the courses for those four days?
My league play has been cancelled for the forseeable future, but other than for this coming weekend, the members can still show up and golf. Their scores just won't be recorded.
Who knew that Covid could differentiate between players with a team scorecard and those without?
Humour aside, there is simply no correlation whatsoever between outdoor activity like golfing and Covid cases. This is just another government in panic mode which feels it must be seen to be "doing something" to halt Covid.

The vaccination rates in every province are way higher than the R value of the virus. The vaccination rate is out pacing the infection rate by 30X in MB. If one person can spread the virus to so many others, then one vaccinated person should halt the spread to the same number of people.
Now do that math. The virus should have been stopped in its tracks long ago.
The Dakotas have had flat case trajectories for months now. Thirty eight new cases yesterday in SD. They've effectively stopped it. Now, did they stop it because of the vaccinations? Or because so many people had it that they have acquired herd immunity in the traditional manner?
If the latter is the case, then basically no jurisdiction has a lot of choice in the matter. Make all the rules you want, they will have no impact other than to destroy the economy.
The news out of Manitoba is not doing much for promoting the idea that the only way to stop Covid is to get vaccinated.

If the vaccines are as effective as claimed, then case numbers should begin to decline in short order. In that case, the latest measures announced by Manitoba are a grotesque and panic-driven overreaction.

Look at the demographics, almost all new cases are in the under 40 crowd

If we're that close to the peak, why not just tell people that further measures are redundant and that they should just calm down?

Hospitalizations and deaths of people 50+ since March are much lower than before march
The opposite is true for those below 50.
Is that also proof vaccines are just placebos?

Alberta has had 7 health care workers die out of 12047 Covid cases, that’s less than 0.0006%
Why the difference in a high risk high stress sector???
How deadly is it to 85 year olds
How deadly is it to 25 year olds
How many nurses are 85
How many nurses are 25
Try harder
