We have reports coming in from all over the socialist nation of Canada that their governments are really tightening the screws against the unvaccinated, now from Quebec comes a report that they will impose a ‘significant tax burden’ on people who have chosen not to take the vaccine. How do you know something is a scam? When they attach a tax to it.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
Funny thing, all this rage is directed at less than 10% of the population of Quebec that they accuse of “clogging the hospitals” because they’re unvaccinated, with about 50% of those hospitalized being unvaccinated. But that also means that the other 50%, the vaccinated, are “clogging the hospitals” at the same rate. Hmm, then why should anyone take a vaccine? Ahh, logic and reason, you have no place in this discussion of “science and medicine”.
Quebec plans to hit unvaccinated with a ‘significant’ tax FROM THE NATIONAL POST: Premier François Legault made the announcement — which would be a first in Canada — during a press conference on Tuesday. He said he was working on the tax with Finance Minister Eric Girard while also reviewing the measure’s legality.
“UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS STILL A SMALL MINORITY, ABOUT 10 PER CENT OF THE POPULATION, THAT REFUSES TO GET VACCINATED,” LEGAULT SAID. “I SENSE THE FRUSTRATION FROM QUEBECERS TOWARDS THAT MINORITY THAT … IS CLOGGING OUR HOSPITALS. THAT IS WHY I AM ANNOUNCING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A HEALTH CONTRIBUTION THAT WILL BE CHARGED TO ALL QUEBEC ADULTS WHO REFUSE TO GET VACCINATED,” HE CONTINUED, ADDING THAT PEOPLE WITH MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS WOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THE NEW TAX.
Legault did not announce any details nor a date for the new tax, nor did he specify the amount except to say that it would be “significant.” The premier said that unvaccinated Quebecers currently occupy 50 per cent of intensive care unit beds in the province, despite being one tenth of the population.
“It is shocking,” he said. “People who refuse to get vaccinated impose a burden on health care personnel and an important financial burden on the majority of Quebecers. All adults in Quebec who don’t accept to go get at least a first dose in the next few weeks will have a bill to pay because there are consequences on our health system and its not up to all Quebecers to pay for that,” he added.
The measure, which is sure to be controversial both in the province and in Canada, was immediately criticized by opposition party Québec Solidaire as “radical” for “completely” forgetting vulnerable people such as the homeless or those suffering from severe mental health issues.
“I THINK IT’S FAIR TO CALL THIS A PROVINCE-WIDE VACCINE MANDATE… THIS IS A PRETTY AGGRESSIVE NUDGE,” SAYS TIM CAULFIELD, A CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR IN HEALTH LAW AND POLICY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA.
Caulfield says the measure is likely to work “a bit,” but the devil is in the details, which are still lacking. He also thinks the social acceptability of the measure will also depend on the evolution of the pandemic over the next few weeks. Recent polls have shown the majority of vaccinated Canadians are increasingly frustrated by the unvaccinated few.
“Legault may feel this is a politically palatable move, despite how extreme it may seem,” he said. “If this continues to get worse, if the health-care system continues to be overburdened particularly by unvaccinated people, then this may not seem like such an extreme measure,” Caulfield says.
“If Omicron goes the other direction, if COVID goes the other direction, then I think that the perception of this might shift.”
The premier estimates that 1,000 more hospital employees and 1,500 long-term-care workers are needed to get through the fifth wave fueled by the extremely transmissible Omicron variant. Legault made the announcement at the same time as he announced a new head of the province’s public health agency. Dr. Luc Boileau is replacing Dr. Horatio Arruda, who announced his resignation Monday evening, mainly because he feared he had lost the confidence of the public. READ MORE
Quebec is looking at taxing residents who don’t get vaccinated Premier François Legault dropped that bombshell Tuesday during a news conference ostensibly arranged to address the resignation a day earlier of his top public health official, Dr. Horacio Arruda. But after briefly thanking Arruda and naming his replacement, Dr. Luc Boileau, the premier turned his thoughts to the surge in COVID-19 hospitalizations in his province and the number of Quebecers who remain unvaccinated.
and when they change who’s vaccinated again ,LOL
Politicians used to be hanged for less than this
Canada is long overdue for a bloody revolution. They took their liberties for granted and their government took their liberties away. The only way to get them back is going to be force.
Have fun, Canada. Either fight for your freedom or live in chains.
It’s all about poisoning Everyone with no prisoners
Oh that John Roberts really gets around, eh? This time a tax for something you don’t want or get. Sound familiar?
Medico o plomo
It must be a lot more than 10% that are unvaccinated
Well, yeah. If 90% of the people are vaccinated, then herd immunity has been established with a comfortable margin. /s
SMH...
The “science” just ain’t working apparently.
President Retard wants an extra tax for libtard refusers 🤪
The SCOTUS decision to not enforce vaccination mandates is a decision to support freedom. It’s ramifications should be felt throughout the world, even in Canada. Can you imagine how stupid the Canadian Supreme Court will look if they accept vaccine mandates? The only other truly free countries of England and the United States will never accept mandates... And neither will Canadians.
Even socialist loving Just not Ready Trudeau backed away from the idea of taxing non-vaccinated people... It is stupidity... Pure and simple.
But...but it’s science!
Well, I guess I would get an Ontario private mailbox for my legal address then.
Quebec speaks an unintelligible dialect of an unintelligible dead language
Tabarnak!
Another tyrant, who when this is all over, needs to be stripped naked, have his head shaved, and forced marched thru the streets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s always good to do a bit of math with unnecessary generalizations and right off the bat, it was noticed that it’s not 50% of those hospitalized being unvaccinated.
Quebec doesn’t make it easy to crunch numbers but here goes… Here is their dashboard (French only) https://cdn-contenu.quebec.ca/cdn-contenu/sante/documents/Problemes_de_sante/covid-19/20-210-382W_infographie_sommaire-executif.jpg?1642089719 Yesterday supposedly they had 8,793 new cases for which the breakdown was 1,453 unvaxxed, 319 partially vaxxed, 6,840 fully vaxxed……in other words, the unvaxxed cases were 20% of the new cases. A total of 12.7% of the population is not vaxxed (for 5+ years) so it would appear that the unvaxxed are 1.57 x as likely to be a case as those with at least one shot.
About hospitalizations, of the 436 new hospitalizations, 143 or 33% were the unvaxxed.
So what’s all the fuss about? This was worth turning la belle province into a police state? They all looked down to Australia and said “yeah, I’d like some of that here...”
All the folks who fled to Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft (and their descendants) can try to come back here again.
Any tax on the unvaxxed is deeply immoral, but out of curiosity, how much is this tax going to be?
