For those that actually read the articles (so no one here):
The Canadian government has begun to distribute a version of an antigen test to to provinces and territories, but it still needs to be administered by a qualified healthcare practitioner.
Concerns around the accuracy of rapid antigen tests, compared to standard PCR tests, have meant that provinces and territories are either still assessing them or are only just beginning to roll them out in a limited way.
These tests (only available for a couple of months now) are still under accuracy evaluation.
The worst possible scenario is wide scale highly inaccurate at home testing.
The inability for some on this board to comprehend the various issues in play is absolutely amazing.
