Vaccine mandates: ‘I lost my job for being unvaccinated’

Danielle Thornton was in the school pick-up line waiting for her children when she learned she would face a life-changing choice: get the Covid-19 vaccine or lose her job of almost nine years at the bank Citigroup.

She and her husband had watched for months as bosses across the US introduced vaccine mandates, knowing the family might face this moment. Then, in the form of an email on her phone, it arrived.

“We had many, many conversations about it,” she says. “But ultimately we decided that our freedom was more important than a pay cheque.”

Ontario’s COVID-19 death toll surpasses 11,000 today

Ontario’s COVID-19 death toll has now surpassed 11,000 with 36 net new fatalities confirmed on Monday.

Provincial health officials say there are now 3,861 patients in hospital with COVID-19, including 615 in intensive care, up from 578 one week ago. Last Monday, the province said there were 3,887 patients with COVID-19 receiving treatment in hospital.

Majority of Canadians support more COVID-19 restrictions for unvaccinated: poll

With less than 20 per cent of the eligible population still unvaccinated against COVID-19 and concerns around the Omicron variant wave rising in the country, a majority of Canadians are in favour of imposing more restrictions on those who have not gotten the shots yet, according to new polling.

An Ipsos poll published Monday and conducted exclusively for Global News showed that 67 per cent want the government to impose further measures on the unvaccinated population, with nearly half (49 per cent) of the respondents blaming the unvaccinated for prolonging the pandemic – now entering its third year.

Where’s the pandemic exit strategy?

Ontario’s new reopening roadmap has no projected end for mask mandates or vaccine passports. In Alberta, Premier Jason Kenney has not said anything more specific than “soon” when asked how long he plans to keep vaccine passports and mask mandates in place. True North’s Andrew Lawton says it’s clear there’s no exit strategy for pandemic restrictions in most of Canada, which is bad news for those of us unwilling to adopt the new normal.

Lockdowns, Masks, and Vaccines Have All Been Complete Failures, But That’s Not the Real Problem

There’s never been any convincing evidence that wearing a loose-fitting rag over your face stops viral spread, but if that doesn’t give one pause to question the efficacy of the practice, then there’s always the incontrovertible fact that there isn’t a single place on the planet which can be pointed toward as the beacon of evidence for the efficacy of mask mandates.

If You Thought the Supply Chain Crisis Was Bad Enough, DHS Could Make It Worse

The regulations state that anyone who enters a port or ferry terminal who is not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident must attest to his or her vaccination status, provide proof of vaccination, and provide “a valid Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI)-compliant document, such as a valid passport, Trusted Traveler Program card, or Enhanced Tribal Card,” along with any other documents that U.S. Customs and Border Protection requests.

This may sound reasonable and fair, but the new regulations will exacerbate the supply chain crisis that has already made American life more difficult and contributed to inflation.

‘Freedom convoy’ of truckers opposing vaccine mandate leaves Metro Vancouver for Ottawa

Hundreds of B.C. truckers took to the road Sunday kicking off what they called a “freedom convoy” to Ottawa in protest of the federal government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers.

Scores of big rigs gathered in pre-dawn fog in Delta before rolling out, and will be joined by groups from Vancouver Island and communities in the B.C. Interior as they make their way east.

GOLDSTEIN: Why Ontario was a sitting duck for COVID-19

People in Ontario haven’t repeatedly endured some of the world’s most severe and longest pandemic lockdowns because of the unvaccinated.

As of Saturday, 82.16% of the eligible population in Ontario had been fully vaccinated, slightly higher than the national average of 81.86%, and Canadians are among the most vaccinated people in the world.

The lockdowns keep happening because of the almost non-existent surge capacity of Ontario hospitals, a problem that has been known about for decades and which governments of all political stripes ignored.

‘You are alone’: The increasingly lonely road of the unvaccinated

‘You are alone’: The increasingly lonely road of the unvaccinated

Greg Bates was driving between Calgary and Hamilton, a long-haul domestic route that would soon be the only kind of trucking he’s allowed to do.

The man from Olds, Alta., has been driving trucks for 15 years, most recently splitting his time between domestic trips and runs down to U.S. destinations. The U.S. trips can be more lucrative (and American highways often have better bathrooms and restaurants en route, in Bates’ opinion) but they’re now off-limits.

Bates is one of thousands of truckers who haven’t gotten the COVID-19 vaccine, and so won’t be eligible to drive into Canada from the U.S., without going into quarantine.

US Vaccine Mandate on Freight Drivers Coming From Canada May Worsen Auto Supply Chain Shortage

The U.S. mandate, announced in October, requires all essential foreign travelers, including truck drivers, who cross U.S. land borders to be fully vaccinated. Essential nonresident travelers had been able to enter the U.S. during the pandemic regardless of their vaccination status, in part so as not to disrupt trade and to give them more time to get vaccinated.
