Licence plates from U.S. states like Nevada and Colorado were spotted near Banff National Park over the past week. RCMP have issued seven tickets to U.S. residents over the past week. There are legitimate reasons for the presence of a U.S. resident or a U.S.-plated vehicle in Canada amidst the pandemic, but stopping to see sights is not one of them. Each of the tickets was issued under the Alberta Health Act at a rate of $1,200 each.
Some expensive sight-seeing there, eh?
Under current rules, Americans may come through Canada to get home or get to work in Alaska, but they must travel along a direct path. When they need to stop for food or rest stops, they must maintain distance away from the public as much as possible.
Come to think of it, though, I can't recall seeing any Canadian-plated vehicles around here lately. It must work both ways, then.
