Ontario, Canada, Further Expands Their Vaccine Passports

Today Premier Doug Ford of Ontario, Canada, announced the launch of new vaccine passport restrictions for the province, saying they are essential to prevent another lockdown.

Ford, however, said they are to be temporary, according to CTV News.

These certificates, they’re the best chance we have to get through these coming months without having to move backwards.

But, let me be very clear, this is a temporary and exceptional measure. We will only use these certificates for as long as they are needed and not one day longer.

It’s no secret that I was reluctant to use this tool, but our highest concern, what keeps me up at night, is ensuring we never lose our hard fought progress.

We can’t afford to shut down again, or experience a sudden surge in cases like we’re seeing in other provinces across the country.

It’s important that each of us remain patient, especially with business owners and frontline workers who are implementing the vaccine certificate.

As we begin this vaccine certificate, there’ll be a period of learning. I want to be clear, enforcement will lead with education and will be reasonable to business owners.

Doug Ford told the press

He also tweeted today stating,

Good morning, Ontario.

Starting today, proof of vaccination is required for select settings. I know this may be tough for some, but we owe it to our businesses to do everything we can to avoid lockdowns.

Please be patient. Let’s all continue to support our amazing businesses.

This newly implemented expansion of the vaccine passport system mandates that residents must show proof of vaccination and government ID, before entering gyms and sports facilities, dine-in eateries, nightclubs, movie theaters, and other venues.

Province officials explained that people with medical exemptions can use a doctor’s note to bypass the new rules.

Businesses who do not comply face fines, along with patrons who provide falsified information.

The WinePress reported in early September that Ontario instigated vaccine passports for funerals and marriages.

CTV News says that over 85% of those aged 12+ have had at least one dose of a Covid vaccine, with 79% of the eligible population having both.

These moves by Ford are at a time when Justin Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister, won his snap election along with his Liberal party, though it was not the majority they were hoping for.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

Ecclesiastes 5:8

Allow me to translate Fat Ford’s words: “But, let me be very clear, this is a temporary and exceptional measure … for the next several years at least until I kill over from being a beached whale.

And by the way, I do not hate you if you are overweight and are not in the greatest condition: I was once extremely unhealthy. Nevertheless, even though Canada is not my country, I take serious offence when the clearly unhealthy people of society want to dictate for others and myself what to do with our health.

But seeing as most of Ontarians marched off to the slaughter, I can’t defend that province all too much. But so much for the 70% “herd immunity:” throw that out the window.
