Ford says his government isn’t planning to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for workers in any industry, nor is it going to develop a provincial ‘vaccine passport’ similar to one announced in Quebec

Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press

Restrictions are being rolled back ahead of schedule thanks to positive pandemic trends and climbing vaccination rates – as of Thursday, 79 per cent of adult Ontarians had received one COVID-19 vaccine dose and 59 per cent had two shots.Ford said his government isn’t planning to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for workers in any industry, nor is it going to develop a provincial “vaccine passport” similar to one announced in Quebec to determine access to certain activities.

Restaurants Canada said vaccine passports showing proof of immunization wouldn’t be a “silver bullet” guaranteeing safety, citing concerns about the pressure that would place on workers. One of the businesses involved noted in a later statement that enforcing the policy will be tricky. Filmores Hotel said balancing privacy and safety concerns is a “fine line” and called verification a “dynamic process” given the various ways to access the vaccine and different shots offered around the world.

 

Merci pour votre commentaire. Votre commentaire sera publié après examen.

Idiots. Even “mild” case can be crap and leave you with lasting symptoms. Plus every. single. New. Case. Gives virus a chance to mutate. Every single new case. Worldwide. Wake up.

Time to vote them out.

Trying to be like a red state?

Yes this isn't Nazi Germany. No papers required.

It’s like being back in high school and doing a group project but being the only one who actually cares about doing the project and the rest still get the marks. Go team!😑

Thank God 🙄

Good. NoVaccineCoercion NoVaccinePassports let people travel and move about freely

So there'll be a fourth wave and people will continue to be selfish idiots while the rest of us keep using Amazon. Who wins?

Canada is just being Canada

ohthatstevenguy well that's an smart move,its not an VAXINE yet, its an clinical experimental on real time!

Great decision Doug. If you disagree your wrong.

Boycott the companies who refuse to make it safer for the public. Easy!

Good.

He's just punting it to JustinTrudeau methinks

Including health care workers? Give your head a shake.

Horrible leadership

The insurance companies will decide this. Ford is irrelevant.

Business owners will have to lead where faux leaders fail cdnpoli FordfailedOntario

When did everyone become fascist nut jobs? The Germans forced various medical procedures on the Jews 80yrs ago and I’m sure those suggesting forced flu shots now would have supported subjugating Jews back then.

He’s playing to his voters

Good stuff

Premier Ford: without vaccine passports the immunocompromised and oldest citizens will not be able to risk unmasked indoor settings with unvaccinated while Delta variant is circulating and will continue to be limited in their activities by the choices of the unvaccinated..

Thanks as always to our “leaders”. They can make lockdown mandatory for the entire population to protect the healthcare system but can’t mandate a vaccine? Looking forward to another wave - at least it might wipe out the anti-vaccine crowd.

He is is too weak to make that call. He does not have the stones to lead through adversity

it would be far more admirable and responsible if kenney and ford would pipe up about vaccs for all (the world) which is far more pertinent to human dignity to equality and freedom than no vaccs for some (albertans, stores)

I see the Ontario govt is going with the 'right to infect'

Big mistake. If all the other vaxes are mandatory, like small pox and polio, this should be too.

Quebec is at least going to safeguard the health industry. We just had an outbreak in our largest hospital in Kingston. People not getting vaccinated will keep Covid around forever.

Of course not. Cuz fordnation is doing exactly what he's done from the start. Make another mistake. The 'right' side of politics is really screwing over the world in as many ways possible. And people still vote for them. Mindless dregs! Ontario DougFord dougfordhasgottogo

It all comes down to the $$$$ feds will do the same

His anti-vax daughter must be thrilled.
