The province’s new measure may still draw challenges from groups opposed to vaccine mandates

COVID-19 hospitalizations look different in the Omicron wave, and vaccination status is playing a part

“It’s untested at this point, but so far the courts, when looking at vaccine mandates or restrictions on liberty rights such as travel, have mostly sided with the provinces, who are trying to ensure vaccine compliance or public health measures to stop the spread of the virus.” On Friday, Quebec’s College of Physicians said in a statement that the government should use the vaccine passport system to further limit access to a large number of shops and public places.

“The strategy is to get people to get vaccinated, but you’re asking the private sector to do the job without giving them the tools,” he said. Amir Attaran, a professor with both the faculty of law and the school of epidemiology at the University of Ottawa, said there is no legal barrier to federal and provincial governments making vaccines fully mandatory for most members of the general public.

'Experts' have been overwhelmingly wrong about most things since start of pandemic, let's ask someone else

So what happens when someone dies of alcohol withdrawal because they cannot access liquor and don't make it to a hospital and are not vaccinated

obvious! why does any one doubt?

You can buy alcohol in every corner store.

Meaningless optics and all about seeing how far control can go. Omicron will ebb pretty quickly, so what is happening in the UK. Quebec has the worst record in Canada, already bad, for killing the old in the care homes and they deflect onto liquor store passports.

Where have OUR HUMAN RIGHTS GONE ? BE HUMANE NOT INSANE ! ALL LIVES MATTER & HAVE HUMAN RIGHTS !

Quebec is always a little out there. Maybe why so many leave Quebec🤷🏼‍♂️

Simple solution. Grow your own pot and make your own alcohol. The only loser will be the govt not getting your tax dollars

Likely

They'll buy illegally like in not so long oast

Please just stop with this tyrannical overreach. We get it you want to force vaccinate people lets stop pretending.

Ontario should do the same.

again Legault proves he has no interest in the welfare of people who live at the margins of society… in this case, alcoholics.. and more acutely, those who are both alcoholics and homeless. can't get hard liquor at the dep, and no service will deliver to No Fixed Address.

Hahaha….it’s just like high school. The unvaccinated will be standing outside the liquor store looking for someone with vax ID to pull for them.😂

Truly the corona virus pandemic have really affected me financially, but with of the help Anthony_Claw through her Forex investment, I’m gradually getting back on my feet financially

They dont even keep liquor from alcoholics admitted to hospital.... what a province..
