Trudeau wants 80-90% booster uptake.

“If we are able to hit that 80%, 85%, 90% of Canadians up-to-date in their vaccinations, we’ll have a much better winter with much less need for the kind of restrictions and rules that were so problematic for everyone over the past years,” said Trudeau.

If that level is reached expect renewed restrictions on people who choose to rely on natural immunity, or who decline to disclose their private medical information. The only reason the restrictions are still suspended its because he can't ban ~50% of Canadians from rail and air travel without severe political consequences.

The truckers may have suffered a tactical defeat but they achieved strategic victory. The let millions of Canadians know that they aren't alone in their opinion. They demonstrated for the real problem is government over reach and impunity to violate people's privacy, bodily autonomy, freedom of movement and seize their assets.

The factory in Montreal was supposed to make Novavax - which is a protein subunit, not an MRNA vaccine.

Can you confirm whether that actually changed?

"those who are unvaccinated are 0.7 times more likely to test positive for the novel coronavirus."

Weird way of saying the the vaccinated are 30% more likely to test positive.

Got contact info for a class action suit? I'd be interested in joining, got a "sorry no plane ride for you" email from Air Canada when I inquired about their policy

Approved =/= available

The vaccinated are getting omnicron just as are the unvaccinated. The problem causing hospital capacity issues isn't the unvaccinated. It's the lack of provincial investment in health care beyond the bare minimum, meeting variants that just might be caused by leaky vaccines, a phenomenon with precedent

But that's not Legault's argument. His point is that those who haven't taken a pfizer or moderna shot are clogging up the health care system and causing additional costs. The contagious aspect isn't the basis of his policy.

Too bad it's anonymous, eh?

They're working to take away online anonymity. Be VERY careful what you wish for

The war on COVID will probably last as least as long as the War on Drugs or the War on Terror.

Only 10 people will be allowed to gather outdoors on private property if someone is attending who's eligible for vaccination but hasn't gotten their shots. In indoor public spaces, only 25 people or 25 per cent capacity, whichever is lower, will be allowed in such a situation.

So a great way to turn families and friends against each other. Put limitations on the entire gathering for only one person.

They didn't. They just ignore the 0.2% death rate and carry on with making counterfeit junk, and oppressing people in Tibet and Hong Kong.

We can notch about Canadian politicians but the real problem is the Canadian citizenry. We've been taught to hate ourselves and our history. We take the "peace order and good governance" completely for granted, ignorant of how rare and fragile such a society is in all of human history
