Have you looked into instant tests and the probability of a false positive? That's your concern right?
And it is a voluntary trip right to separate country with different rules I think...He can always choose not to roll the dice.
As for the comment about defacto social distancing, I can only assume your think that's funny.
Travel itineraries were used initially when people claimed they were driving 'straight to Alaska'. A large number lied. They ruined it for your brother.

Here's pretty much what I remember about rapid tests
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting clinical laboratory staff and health care providers that false positive results can occur with antigen tests, including when users do not follow the instructions for use of antigen tests for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2."
I didn't find it funny, I found it true. The majority of your population live within a very small radius of your largest cities in each province IIRC. So he'll be social distancing simply by entering Canada. It's a HUGE country with a lot of wide open space. Your population density is something like 12 people per square mile. Where we live, and it's a small town, it's 2000 per square mile. He's social distancing just by entering Canada.
