The Canadian province of Quebec will charge a health tax to residents who are not vaccinated against Covid-19.

Quebec, which has seen the highest number of Covid-related deaths in Canada, is currently struggling with a surge in cases.

On Tuesday, the premier announced that it would be the first in the nation to financially penalise the unvaccinated.

Only about 12.8% of Quebec residents are not vaccinated, but they make up nearly half of all hospital cases.

According to federal data, just over 85% of Quebec residents had received at least one vaccine dose by 1 January.

Premier Francois Legault said during a news conference that people who have not received their first dose of vaccine will have to pay a "contribution".

Which would be worse:

I speak French, but I am unvaccinated.

I'm vaccinated, but I only speak English.

“Only about 12.8% of Quebec residents are not vaccinated, but they make up nearly half of all hospital cases.”

Correlation is not causation...

In the US, the CDC finally admitted that hospitalizations ‘with COVID’ do not equate, in any way, to hospitalizations ‘for COVID’...

I watched the original Pink Panther movie last night with Peter Sellers as inspector Clouseau. Classic light hearted humor. Your story about the crazy frogs is right in line.

Anyone doubt for a moment that Biden and co haven’t been sewing how to do this here in the US? I mean - since our illustrious turncoat Chief Justice claims that Obamacare is a tax, but not a tax, so perfectly legal, despite being unconstitutional....

Now you can understand why every Canadian outside of Quebec basically says of the Province -

“it’s a fun place to party, but when it comes to politics, they’re insane”

NB doesn’t like the tax, but is apparently considering other options.
