Facebook isn't stupid. If they're censoring PPC it means they see more negative than positive in allowing them to stay on the platform. The benefit of splitting the vote is less then the consequences of the PPC platform gaining more traction with the average person.

Is this supposed to entice people to get the vaccine? At least it's officially acknowledged that death or serious injury can occur as a result. $75 million seems like a large amount too?

That's a good point about Ontario. Ford has said we're not going to have a split society. Let's pray he has the wisdom and courage to stick to that.

That seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of what happens with covid. Let's hope enough people hold off from getting injected anyways. It's a race against time to get passports implemented before enough people realize what's going on. I'm keeping some hope alive for Alberta.

Request denied, don't even have to tell them. None of anyone's business.

Agreed. Plenty of worse security scandals under other politicians (Winnipeg lab?). At least Max's policies serve Canadians and he's willing to stand up for what he believes in, to the point of getting arrested for it. Respect.

I have a difficult time seeing this work in practice. With 1 percent unvaxxed, sure, but with 20 percent plus? What stops the unvaxxed from making their own market? And companies will want the unvaxxed' money. Hopefully enough smaller businesses survive the lockdowns as well. Maybe this is just a message to pressure or entice more vaccinations.

I believe this is Dr. Charles Hoffe's town, he has some interesting interviews. Hope he's alright.

Don't know about vaccines. I think social distancing, mask wearing, and group size limits contribute to lower social skills. Also more drug and alcohol use, worse diets, probably lower sleep quality over several months, in addition to increased stress, fear, etc. People on the average are more burnt out.

For the positive perspective: even if it fails then many who signed may wonder why. Also it's a good way to exercise constitutional rights. More people may look into the issue deeper etc. For the time cost of a post, someone can clearly tell their elected representatives what they want. It's an action with positive effects, even if it fails in my opinion.
