Because minimizing the risk of importing new infections is a crucial part of controlling the spread moving forward. We can't control other countries' case rates, but we can control who can bring cases back into Canada from those countries. Those at higher risk (the unvaccinated) must take additional precautions (testing/isolation) to offset that risk. Until recently, the economic disruption of requiring unvaccinated truckers to isolate was considered more damaging than the infection risk they posed, so they were granted a specific exemption from the rules that everyone else had to follow, but they've reached a high enough vaccination rate that having this fringe minority isolate upon returning (not that they can leave in the first place, given that the US won't let them in, so it's really a moot point) is no longer a major problem.

It only takes one inadequately-contained case to trigger an outbreak, especially as other precautions are lifted. If you want to avoid that, you need to keep on top of every possible new case.

You do realize vaccination does nothing to prevent the spread of infection, right? It just reduces the severity of the illness in the vaccinated person. It has no significant impact on the general public. It does however affect the pharmaceutical companies pocketbook. Hence the billions they're pumping into media to make sure the hapless idiots follow orders, like the good little peasants they are.
