One day after the Canadian province of Quebec announced it would financially penalize residents who are unvaccinated, the province's health minister said Wednesday first-time appointments spiked in the hours following the announcement.
"It's encouraging!" Quebec's health minister, Christian Dube, tweeted, indicating that Tuesday's first-dose appointments were the highest in several days.
The fine for the unvaccinated would not apply to those with a medical exemption, and no details have been announced, although officials said the amount to be levied would be "significant."
The Quebec government says that while nearly 90% of eligible Quebecers have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, the unvaccinated remain a burden on the province's public health system.
On one hand, it works. On the other hand:
ReplyDelete1) It violates multiple parts of Canada's constitution. Now, the constitution of Canada is a worthless rag because it has a clause in it that says "If a government feels that it needs to do something against the constitution, it can in times of pressing need." It's called the Notwithstanding Clause. Who decides if it's a pressing need? Oh, the government. Hmmm. So pushing this through is another major undermining of the democratic system.
2) It's another step in the Woke's "If you disagree with me you're evil" catering to the mob.
