The federal government is allowing people to enter the country with a negative test 72 hours before arriving.
Canada is a place of freedom. If someone is proven to test negative for Covid, they are technically not a health risk and should not be discriminated against for attending an event.

You'd have to test negative on site. Even with rapid testing, that's going to add up to an undoable wait period for unvaccinated people. Who bares the cost of all the testing? And what happens if one slips through (the tests aren't 100% accurate, and often are less accurate during the early stages of infection)?
From an operational perspective, simply requiring proof of vaccination is much easier than allowing some sort of arcane testing regiment. Offsite testing is out of the question.
