Canada has taken yet another step toward authoritarianism by banning unvaccinated citizens from entering stores and other establishments without first showing proof of vaccination and a government-issued ID card.
Canadians have been informed that only fully vaccinated individuals may enter stores such as IKEA, Walmart, Costco or any other large retailer, according to CBC News.
The ministerial decree covers stores which are 16,146 square feet or larger, and excludes grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations. The government also insisted that this rule is only aimed at encouraging more people to get vaccinated.
Authorities in Quebec instituted further rules for the unvaccinated, ruling that they cannot enter any store unless they are chaperoned by a "health warden" who will follow them around and make sure they only purchase items such as food, medicine and other government-approved products.
Conservative philosopher Dr. Jordan B. Peterson was shocked by the totalitarian nature of this "health warden" rule.
Not everyone in Canada is meekly accepting this new autocratic COVID policy.
According to CBC News, some store owners are frustrated by these new rules and they are not happy to be the ones to enforce the new rules.
Patrick Delisle, the head of marketing for the Quebec hardware chain Canac said that he is not inclined to enforce these rules on his customers.
"We're not going to ask someone who's dealing with water damage [in their home] if they're vaccinated or not," he told the CBC. "It's really frustrating to have to manage clients living situations like that ... it's not our job."
Some store owners are also afraid that they will lose customers to establishments that aren't covered by the new rules.

Even longer: They would not only have to admit that they were wrong, they would also have to admit that they killed people. A lot of them, Mr. "This gain of function research isn't gain of function research, but, in any case, the risks of a global pandemic are worth conducting it anyway, and concealing this fact from the general public".
Sorry, but not feeling any sympathy for Canada. Nobody put a gun to their heads and forced them to elect these tyrants. They did this to themselves.
Isn’t Canada’s liberal party liberal… /s
Hey, why should the US be the only one enjoying tyranny of government.
[[The ministerial decree covers stores which are 16,146 square feet or larger]]
Because covid isn’t an issue in stores that are 16,145 feet or larger
Oh Canada you are ruled by power drunk tyrants (but so are we)
Woops, “or smaller” I meant
The square foot requirement was determined after consultation with a peer reviewed study of Native Witch Doctors.
Science, yo!
Are they trying to boost small businesses? They really don’t know what they’re doing at all, do they?
Couldn’t care less. They elected these people and I hope they get it good and hard.
Them ‘rona balls is smart li’l critters.
They can count AND measure...
I don’t think it’s the elected officials. It’s the vastly increasing army of petty local bureaucrats (hired, appointed) who suddenly find themselves with the power of God to destroy peoples lives and harass them and deny them food, medical care and to interfere at every level of their lives.
I really think that’s what the Great Truck Protest in Canada is about.
The Petty Bureaucrat Class has been increasing for years. And in that time they have developed a culture of contempt for ‘ordinary people’, I’ve overheard them talking and sneering at ‘the general population’, and unfortunately have seen some of my friends succumb to it. It’s a way of pretending you’re ‘upper class’ or ‘more informed’, more intelligent, more sophisticated if you’ve got a job as a petty bureaucrat.
Their power has really been increasing, alarmingly so. Everything from the TSA to the DMV to the BLM, and I don’t have to even name all the county, municipal and state petty-bureaucrat creeps.
They’ve really gone power-mad and they have the snotty media and the education system to bolster their deluded self-esteem.
So that’s what the great Truck Revolution is all about, is what I think. How to get rid of these corrupt, weaponized and contemptuous creeps? I dunno.
Some 40% did not. Do they deserve to be treated like trash?
And they can infect based on race too according to the left who claim that blacks are “disproportionately affected” by the virus
Well said!
Good post.
There is a worldwide war of the self-appointed “experts” against average folks just trying to live their lives in peace.
One side is fighting.
The other side is not.
This must change.
Walmart is a big store. How are they checking each person’s vaccine card? Or is it a spot check?
Like we elected Brandon? Honestly, I think even California would go conservative if there were no democrat cheating.
If I'm reading this sentence correctly, in Canada unvaccinated citizens are required to show a fake vaccine card, in addition to a government-issued ID card?
