Where would you be flying from? You don't need to do a PCR test to fly domestically, and the mandatory pre-flight PCR test requirement to return to Canada was eliminated earlier this month. However, you are still subject to random PCR testing if you are entering Canada. We were selected for one when arriving in Toronto from Europe last month.

Flying domestically in Canada …

No testing required.

But as it’s under federal jurisdiction … you still need to prove that you are fully vaccinated (2 shots)
And …
You are required to wear a mask while onboard … when not ACTIVELY eating or drinking

If you are concerned about Covid for reasonable reasons
Such as your age … or being immune compromised
(Or you live, work or socialize with such folks )

Then you can up your protection
By choosing an N95 as your mask of choice (maybe even double masking )
And / or by opting to get your 3rd Shot / keeping your Boosters up to date

Ok, answer me this …

WHY IS IT NOW OK to make fun of folks who have concerns for their own health … or for others they may know … live or work with who are potentially at risk due to age, pre existing conditions, or by being immune compromised ??

These are GENUINE WORRIES for some folks

Maybe you’ve just been FORTUNATE ENOUGH during Covid, not to have lost anyone.

You might sing a far different tune when you’ve lost someone you actually know to this nasty disease … and you felt died unnecessarily

You need to stop yelling at people in caps. You can get your point across without the caps.

People are making fun of the OP since the question has so little information it's nonsense. That's all.

Not yelling,
Just good old fashioned emphasis … fewer keystrokes than bolding, underling etc

Yelling is what is referred to folks typing their entire response with caps locks on

Was in Vancouver last week. First time since 2020. Is it just me or did things gets more expensive? Talking about food. Meals that used to cost $10-$11 are now $14-$15.

And every other car on the road is a white Tesla Model 3.
