My guess is there will be an announcement but it will still be a complicated watered down version. They have confused themselves and everyone else with a plan to rescue snowbirds who don't want to be rescued, with various rules depending how the snowbirds play the game.

- Start date

Or as We you to say in the Military. Could organized a gangbang in a whorehouse.
My interpretation....
I believe that the Canadian Government perceived a problem (after Quebec yelled at them) with Canadians at (returning from) All Inclusive Resorts.... so they shut down all the flights to the Caribbean and Mexico.
Florida, Arizona, California..... No A.I. Resorts. No cancelled flights (yet).
Retirees renting/owning in Caribbean and Mexico... are just collateral damage.
The $2,000 Hotel stay is (at the moment) just a threat.
The warning has been issued. The $2,000 Hotel stay can now be implemented, at the drop of a hat.
March Break is coming. I expect more threats to discourage Families from going to Florida.
A Wild Card in this, is the British Variant of CoViD19.
If it takes hold... expect more/tougher rules.

Agree with most of your post.
All variants are now in Canada and we may have some of our own. The provinces hit hardest by the pandemic have the potential to be hit hardest by the variants.
Still can fathom why the government didn’t ask airlines to include the Canada-Florida and Arizona routes in their voluntary shutdown. One might opine they left some leeway for Canadian DR and Mexico snowbirds and tourists to allow them to travel in limited numbers through the US.
The Covid concentration camp threat is currently scheduled to end April 30th when flights are supposed to resume to the DR and Mexico. The longer the Feds delay the camp initiative, the less impact it will have as the end of April approaches. It may turn out to be more of an implied threat than a real threat. It’s on very weak constitutional footing and the government knows this.
Infection and hospitalization numbers are finally dropping in the provinces impacted the most due to lockdowns and curfews. Covid serum deliveries are back to normal next week and injections will
Increase accordingly. All good news for a government stuck between a rock and a hard spot with provincial demands. If it continues, it may give them the wiggle room to not implement the Covid concentration camp requirement for non infected travellers.
I would think that 10's of thousands Spring break travellers was the major concern with associated covid spread.
The $2000 hotel threat was ludicrous.
At least Canadian citizens/ residents should have the option to be tested on arrival and continue travel to their home to quarantine.
Even after arrival at home, testing could continue to avoid a 14 day quarantine.
Many available tools are not being used by airlines and governments.
Surely many people are willing to pay for their own testing, in order to facilitate necessary travel.
Of course spread of mutants by international travel will continue to be of serious concern for years to come.
Yet we have to adapt and lean to live with the condition, commerce and the world can't be locked down for years.
Governments, economies and individuals are struggling with the "right" solutions and answers.
On Monday, the federal government outlined some of the application requirements for privately owned hotels looking to be part of the three-night stay program.
The hotels must be within 10 kilometres of one of the four international airports currently accepting flights from abroad in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

Viruses mutate via natural selection. Mutations can make the virus more or less deadly, more or less infectious, and change other characteristics.
Travel is what spreads the mutations ( so "importation" of the South African mutation can indeed be a factor).
Sound familiar ?
UK and Irish residents -- who've been in one of the government’s 33 "red list" countries in the last 10 days -- will need to quarantine in a designated hotel.
They will only be able to arrive into a small number of ports and will have to book a quarantine package -- at a cost of £1,750 (approximately US $2,411) for the hotel, transport and testing – before departing for the UK.

Not sure Windy,
Mutations have been found in remote areas, in people who have not traveled or been exposed to travelers
Yes, travel can spread it but travel is not necessary
Ithat is why they are going strict..won’t be enough IMHO...They are saying here in Canada third wave by end of March with variant leading way..
It looks like full steam ahead, despite some delusional wishful thinking.New rules outlined..it’s happening no matter what people say..

And once a precedent is created you can expect other countries to follow suit.
And rest assured that even after the pandemic is over, some of these travel restrictions will stay in place permanently.
Your days of good old normal traveling are over.
