Antigen tests are somewhat easier to obtain and somewhat cheaper, so it is a bit of an improvement.

Not as good as news as you think. We have to do a rapid antigen test instead of a PCR to return to Canada. This isn’t really isn’t much of an improvement. Agreed, apart from the lower cost for the traveller it is no improvement. It also puts marginally less load on the medical lab facilities in the country you are flying out of which may be stretched. Still a waste of resources though and it's arguably immoral and unethical to knowingly waste healthcare resources. Booking a trip right now for November - by when we hope common sense will have prevailed (although that commodity is in short supply here in the nation's capital right now...). Dave

Waste of money, time, resources, increased aggravation and complications for travellers with absolutely ZERO benefits for anyone EXEPT those who are getting paid for testing and test makers…. It’s all about MONEY now….
