Why do people think its illegal to go on trips or see friends? there was never anything saying it was forbidden...

I wasnt sure and and even on the gov bc site there is mention of some travel restrictions but no clarification. Im in way too many text groups so my phones constantly blowing up with covid news so i dont even know what to believe anymore lol

Rules by province updated here:

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/cana...g-open-closed/

AB - Interprovincial travel: Domestic entrants to Alberta aren’t required to self-isolate.

BC - Interprovincial travel: Domestic travellers don’t have to self-isolate.

Hopefully by July/August I can drive out to Okanagan to visit family. BC doesn't have such hate-on for Sask green plates so I hope I'm okay.

Did you end up going? Any negative experiences?

My wife had gum smeared across the side of my BMW in penticton. Hard to say if it was my wife’s driving or the red plate.

Flipped a blue plate the bird today. They looked confused.

Made it safe and sound lol Had a 1 way rental booked at enterprise for $7.39 for the day and was totally expecting them to say there was an issue and not honor it but thankfully they did one better and only charged 5.99

This, I know a few people from Alberta currently in Kelowna (including this guy) and they've all said there aren't any issues.

Bunch of my coworkers have been 50/50 between here and Invermere. The people in charge don’t actually gaf.

Just got to watch out for the locals, they crazy

[ExtraSlow]

(i'm kidding - don't do this).
I too have heard of the activities from locals against red plates in Invermere. Some tires slashed but again, who knows the circumstances (bad driving or legit RED PLATE issue?).

As if bad driving is a “legit” reason to have your tires slashed.

No one is blocking anything.

Just watch out being a red plate in grocery store parking lots lol.

[ExtraSlow]

The grocery stores in invermere are garbage anyway. Don't support the economy, take groceries with you.

They gave me a Ford fiesta with BC plates. We probably did them the favor by driving it back but im totally ok with that, even if they charged me $50.00 i wouldve been all over that deal lol It cost more to add a second driver than the rental itself.

[ExtraSlow]

It's a win win. It costs them a shit load to ship those back if they can't get a customer to drive them.
