‘What does Canada have to do with horrid Germany? Honestly we can’t use yellow because some dumb country used it 60 years ago?’
So if I paint my lily white face black and sing “Mammy” everybody’s cool - since it’s been 160 years ago and I live in a northern state?

Agreed, intentional or otherwise.
I must point out, however, that the color of the sticker is the same as the logo color for VIA Rail Canada.
"Ignorant idiot" is fitting...and probable.

Perhaps it was simply ignorance. It is troubling, just the same. Ignorance can be dangerous. Unlike stupidity, ignorance can be fixed. Sadly, so many seem content to remain in it so as not to be forced to examine their strongly held beliefs.
Agreed. But to be clear, in the era of the ‘stupid virus’ (the true pandemic, coupled with affronts by government), I don’t give VIA Rail a pass on this one.
Per the office Canadian Govt website,
Effective October 30, air passengers departing from Canadian airports, travellers on VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains, and travellers on non-essential passenger vessels on voyages of 24 hours or more, such as cruise ships, will need to be vaccinated.
Now, MAYBE there is some legitimacy to the story. Maybe they ARE letting the unvaxxed ride the range rails like it's 1940s Germany...if so, let us get corroboration from more unvaxxed and labeled passengers...let them come forward.
Until then, this is a sensational and sloppy bit of reporting.
I’d suggest laying off the spiked egg nog when posting...
Several others have covered this well, I see no need to add on, other than to say I agree with them.
I wasn’t able to confirm this sticker story, but you have to show proof of being vaccinated to board planes and trains, so I don’t see the point of the sticker
I have occasionally commented Impfung Macht Frei!, but you have to have someone with a good knowledge of German or the willingness to translate.
But we’re clearly on the same page.
Vaccine-free or pureblood both work.
....I’m calling BS on this story....

Me too... it’s not been possible to get on to trains and planes in Canada since the end of October... https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/domestic-travel
If our fearless Twit poster Dustin really was slapped with such a sticker (and, again, I don't doubt that the Canadian govt is stoopid enough to go full Yellow Sticker on the unvaxxed peasants), I suspect there'd be a series of Tweets in his history highlighting the outrageousness of that escapade. Alas, I didn't find any such posting history. In fact, there is a Dec 6 Tweet from Dustin saying "Drinking a beer at 6am and being gouged by the airport bar. It’s nice to be travelling again! "So.....he's flying unvaxxed but no complaints there?
Again, it's entirely possible that the authorities are so clueless as to issue yellow unvaxxed stickers. But I like my reporting the same way I like my legal advice - competent, with supporting documentation. I certainly prefer new media to the networks' monopoly but that doesn't mean I have to blindly accept as Gospel Truth any Tweet or "conservative" website's headline. This affinity bias makes people look dumb, and to blindly go along with the herd is a leftist MSNBC etc trait I'd like to avoid.
I'll break out the booze later.
Headline: “Canadian Vaccine Authorities Put Yellow Patches on Your Jacket as You Load into Trains”
Key passages from CT and the Twit:
“Canadian railway officials have a rather familiar method to segregate passengers and identify authorized vaccinated citizens who are traveling in railroad cars”
“I’m on the train to Montreal and they make you wear a yellow sticker to show you’re vaccinated.”
Unless I missed something, no one ever suggested they were labeling the UN-’vaxxed’ and unless I mistyped, I certainly never stated that.
If my graphic confused you, well...not my mea culpa.
smh
re: “I have occasionally commented Impfung Macht Frei!”
The ‘Vax’ part I used is to ‘kick-start’ the more dull-witted in the US population (libs, Karens, etc.) ...
Use the bathroom mirror--Oh wait. I forgot about Mike Lindell.
Check mark for vaxxed NPC.
Nonetheless...
Rando on Twitter posts a picture of sticker, and says that it's a "I've been vaxxed" sticker.
CT reposts tweet.
Internet assumes Germany all over again.
Nobody fact checks.
I doubt it. I do some bare-bones research,and pretty much everyone has to be vaxxed to ride the rails in Canada. I ask, why would the railroad issue such stickers - it's like issuing a sticker that you're breathing?
Maybe they're simply stickers indicating that you're cleared for takeoff, and amongst the docs they check are the vaxx docs.
Nobody (except you, who is amongst the smartest here) cares.
I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, Merry Christmas.
So let me get this straight - you think the biomedical security state acceptable?
Wow!!....See no evil??
