Canada is putting people into covid hotels for quarantine, guarded by private security (minimum wage,) guards. The good news is, because it is winter, those guards just sit in their cars all day and night with the heat turned on, playing with their cellphones, bored out of their minds, doing anything other than actually guarding. To save money, probably they have only the one guard per 12 hour shift. Maybe two on the day shift. Sometimes a supervisor may drop in for a fifteen minute site check. It's super easy to escape. Most guards won't do a patrol at all before dawn. Half of them will sleep through the night. If you play your cards right, you can come and go as you please if you convince the guard you are one of the hotel employees. Just nod and wave like any other Canadian. In the case of a covid escape, the guards are probably under instructions to only call the police. They are probably specifically ordered not to interfere with or apprehend anybody, lest they catch the covid themselves. The wonderful world of Canadian security guards:)
