Breaking news: Canada plans to drop test requirement

North of the border news media is reporting that the Canadian government is planning to drop the requirement for returning residents to show a negative Covid-19 PCR test for trips shorter than 72 hours. Global TV reported November 17 that the restriction should be dropped by the end of November or beginning of December.
U.S. congresswoman Suzan DelBene, who represents Blaine, welcomed the news in a tweet the same day: “This would be a huge win for our border communities! The testing requirement has been a major barrier for vaxxed Canadians traveling into the U.S. & would strengthen the partnership between our two countries.”
