The prime minister isn\u0027t breaking the law, however, as his train wasn\u0027t federally regulated
, passengers can be ejected from a train and even get hit with a $5,000 fine if they’re caught maskless during the journey — or even within a station during a stop.
The scientific rationale for all this is increasingly questionable. While masking is generally a good way to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses within enclosed spaces, the federal government remains agnostic on what kinds of masks actually get worn. The wearing of masks on federally regulated trains is even anomalous within the Canadian context. As the maskless Kettle Valley Steam Railway shows; provinces have long ago abandoned mandates on indoor masking. The Kettle Valley railway hasn’t been subject to mandatory face coveringsThe situation is much the same at all the other Canadian railroads which operate outside federal jurisdiction.
But it wouldn’t be the first time that Trudeau’s seemingly arbitrary adherence to COVID masking has drawn notice.
