I was going to ask where you saw this but I have since been bombarded with news links. I checked the hotels in the Calgary area and 2 people can do the 3 days for around a $1000 total. Still a ripoff but not much you can do.Canada just pushed the hotel quarantine thingy to May 21st.
I also checked flying to Great Falls MT and walking across but the only cab service wants $425 for the drive to the boarder. Every one is capitalizing on this.
