Retards

State compelled expression certainly would breach the speaker’s charter rights.

I suppose it’s the same principle that Quebec uses for its vaccine passport system that requires restaurant patrons to be vaccinated but exempts staff.

We are supposed to believe we are more likely to get a virus from other customers sitting at their tables than the people actually making and serving our food.

Very little makes sense.

Close the schools because one child dies? An examination of the facts is in order and in this case it looks like severe obesity may have been a contributing factor.

So why not fire staff for being unvaxxed? Dumb asses.

Significantly compromise health and safety? Well, people that get the virus have an over 99% survival rate. I won’t call being unvaxxed something that significantly compromises health and safety especially since the vaxxed can also get infected and sick and transmit the virus.

I and two of my kids had covid in July. Symptoms for me were mainly stuffiness and a slight headache for about 4 days. I was also tired and lacked motivation to do much beyond watching tv and light reading, although I did go out each day not knowing I had more than a cold. It was like the worst cold I ever had, but nowhere nearly as bad as having the flu.

My 18 year old had a stuffed nose for two days.

My 19 year old had the same symptoms as me but for one or two days longer. She also lost her sense of taste and smell for about two weeks.

Treatment was limited to sleep, Tylenol and decongestant.

Some get it worse. Others not as bad.

Draw your own conclusions.

it never really existed. John A MacDonald built the railroad thinking it would help. But country has no glue to keep it together ("We are not the USA" doesn't count.)

Swatiskas can be seen in many temples across Asia. There is nothing inherently evil or bad about them. The Nazi’s use of the symbol tainted it. But it is still common in many places.

It is a real pain entering Canada. I entered Aug 14 from Brazil. Had to jump thru all the hoops (I am Canadian.). I was selected for a random test on arrival. It is all theater. The tester barely touched my nose with the swab. The real problem is the PCR test. They cost at least US$100 in most places.

I entered Canada from the US again Sept 4. This time the app didn't record my details properly and I have been hounded by Arrive Can and staff to fill out the daily symptom checklist. The US PCR test btw was US$150.

To enter the US all that is needed is an antigen test. In many places those can be had for $40. But in Montreal the cheapest I have found is $150. All this covid nonsense sucks.

But it doesn't surprise me Americans aren't coming. I spent a week in Chicago last week - great fun. Ball games, concerts, restaurants, etc. Why come to Canada?

Is this supposed to attract voters?

Until it’s 4 or 5 or 6

It’s as much the youth today who are afraid. I can’t believe the stuff coming from university students afraid to go to class etc. I talk to many twenty-somethings and gen x people and they are so scared. They don’t seem to be able to understand numbers and risk.

Sounds like a typical canadian.

Read up about it. There is lots written. It really helps me with joint pain, inflammation, digestion etc. I have the drink 5-6 times a week. And I sprinkle turmeric on food such as fish before cooking.

Make a drink by mixing turmeric powder with hot water, add some black pepper and stir. Then top up with a little milk and sweetener (honey?). It's an acquired taste but the benefits are immediate.

You are not the only one.

You can't fault Quebec for asking for things. Why not? It's the weak federal politicians who can never say no.

Thanks. It will be an evidentiary issue. Bottom line is I think judges will hear evidence from doctors that the vaccine is fine and tested and approved and will thus say there is no basis to claim consent is not adequate. Any doctor that challenges the prevailing official view will be deemed not credible. It all goes back to how the judges will rule.

Too much to deal with here. A couple of points: If governments make vaccines legally mandatory that type of provision can be imposed regardless of the terms of the employment contract. Additionally, it would not be illegal for an employer to add new employment conditions. It may be a breach of contract but it isn’t illegal. Plus, there is no issue of informed consent. There is an issue of consenting to or not consenting to the vaccine. The information regarding the vaccine is available. Where does uninformed consent come from? I wouldn’t engage Rocco to represent me on these matters.

It’s a bald face lie. They direct the police, explicitly or implicitly, when it suits their agenda. They didn’t direct the police to enforce laws against FN backed blockades in early 2020. They do direct the police to act against freedom supporting protesters. There are many examples.

I just read the title.

Intellectual idleness or emptiness?

Consent goes to the formation of a contract. Lack of consent means no contract - so it would be void. But that isn't the issue. In this case I am referring to a governmental authority imposing on the private sector vaccine mandates. I don't see this type of mandate, if imposed by valid regulation or statute, making an otherwise existing and valid contract unenforceable as a result.

Apart from that, I don't see the majority of Canadian judges finding against vaccine mandates. It's simply not in their nature.

I don't understand the part about a lack of informed consent making a law unconstitutional. Can you explain please?

You’ve posted this dozens of times. It’s a very basic summary and misses many key points, one of which is the intersection of public snd private law. Many public laws regulate private law - for example labor codes regulate relationships between employer and employee. There is no longer complete freedom of contract in employment or most other areas. Other public laws also regulate private laws - rental codes, consumer protection, anti-trust and minimum wage laws are common areas where governments use public law to regulate private matters. The government can by regulation or statute require vaccines in private employment. We see that now as the federal government floats vaccine mandates for all workers in federally regulated sectors. In areas subject to provincial jurisdiction provinces may have the power to mandate vaccines, regardless of the terms of employment contracts. In summary it’s a complex area and unsettled as a matter of law.

Very unlikely any court would rule against vaccine mandates.
