(CNN)Quebec's premier said Tuesday his province would scrap any attempt to tax people who haven't gotten their Covid-19 vaccinations, as his government proposed just weeks ago, citing concerns about dividing people and straining their mental health.

Legault acknowledged that it seemed his government's proposal to charge the unvaccinated a yearly "health contribution" for refusing the get the shots had already increased the number of people booking first-time vaccinations, but he said it was time to abandon the idea.

Power is a zero sum game.

Once conservatives figure that out then we can start winning.

Half the people on this site wont know what you mean by the term “Frog”.

Here is a fact. We had to deal with them where I grew up and lived. They often passed through the U P when they traveled. Even the Parisian French couldnt stand them. Matter of fact, many hated them.

In other words , he saw scythes and pitchforks in his crystal ball.

He’ll do it again when the truck convoy “problem” goes away. Leftards can never be trusted.

As a (former) canadian who has a relatives in a certain English-speaking conservative enclave in MOntreal, there is overwhelming support for the truckers.
