🇨🇦 Canada implements stricter travel, immigration measures in response to Ebola crisis

So Ottawa does know how to control borders after all. When Ebola enters the chat, suddenly the same political class that treats sovereignty like an outdated hobby discovers self-isolation, screening, and halting visitor applications for three African countries, as reported. Funny how border enforcement becomes morally acceptable the moment the threat is too obvious to spin away with diversity slogans.

The real takeaway is brutal and simple: the state can act fast, restrict entry, and put Canadian safety first when it feels like it. Which means every lecture about borders being helpless, racist, or impossible to manage was always nonsense. A government that can impose 21 days of self-isolation on travellers from Ebola-affected regions can certainly understand that national interest begins with deciding who comes in and under what conditions. Sovereignty is not extremist when a virus is involved. It should not become taboo the second the threat is political instead of medical.
