Trucker Protest on U.S. Border Cleared After Ontario Drops Mandates

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on Friday that plans are underway to remove “almost all restrictions for businesses,” including the controversial “vaccine passport system” that inspired the Freedom Convoy protests.

On Sunday, the vital Ambassador Bridge linking Ontario with Michigan was reopened after police cleared the protesters who had blocked it for six days.

“Today we are on track to very soon remove almost all restrictions for businesses as part of our reopening plan. And we heard from Dr. Moore last week, and again yesterday, that he is now working on a plan that will allow us to remove the vaccine passport system. My friends, this is great news and a sign of just how far we have come together in this fight,” Ford said at a press conference on Friday.

Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s chief medical officer, asserted on Thursday that “evidence is showing we’re making remarkable improvement in all of the key metrics” related to Chinese coronavirus in the province, making it possible to “review all public health measures that are in place.”

Ford insisted this sudden announcement of a timetable for lifting coronavirus restrictions had nothing to do with the massive Freedom Convoy protests in major cities across Canada. He said his decisions were based purely on “science” and he would “never ever negotiate” with demonstrators who “break the law.”

CTV News noted that Ontario residents are presently “required to show proof of vaccination at indoor dining facilities such as restaurants and bars, as well as meeting and event spaces, gyms, concert venues and other settings.”

Contrary to Ford and Moore’s talk of improving conditions and evolving science, CTV pointed out that the omicron variant of Chinese coronavirus remains highly contagious, claiming that vaccine booster shots would help stop the spread — a claim that is under debate. Instead of modifying the vaccine passport systems to require boosters, Ontario officials are abruptly talking about dropping it entirely at this point after the Freedom Convoy protests.

On Monday, Ford announced the vaccine passport system will shut down on March 1. Furthermore, capacity limits on restaurants, bars, theaters, and gyms will be lifted this Thursday, almost a week ahead of schedule.

What law did the truckers break?

Almost all? What restrictions are they keeping?

What restrictions have proven to be the least bit helpful?

Plans?

We don’t need no stinkin’ plans.....

[ifinnegan]

They want to do what the truckers said to do because the Freedon Convoy made it crystal clear that’s what Canada wants, while destroying the lives of same truckers.

[DesertRhino]

They haven’t stopped any of the mandates. They said that there are plans to. It’s a lie, nothing has changed. And they reserve the right to crack down again if they do.
All empty promises. As empty as two weeks to flatten the curve.

[DesertRhino]

They promise they will remove them in 2 weeks? lol, that’s how government gives you the finger. Two weeks indeed.

[DesertRhino]

“Ontario officials are abruptly talking about dropping it entirely at this point after the Freedom Convoy protests.“

Talking

[MayflowerMadam]

“Two weeks indeed.”

I’m sure others have compared this to “Fifteen days to flatten the curve”.

[whershey]

I think they’re still trying to force the jab.

[pas]

Which were backed by actual science?

[School of Rational Thought]

There are only “plans”, not any lifting of mandates.

All that is required to lift the mandates is an announcement. No “time table” is necessary other than to distance the government from protests.

“Working on a plan to end the vaccine passports”??

"Soon" isn't NOW

"Soon" is just more fascist bullshit.
