    1. If we dont stand up our kids will pay the price. Let it happen now so i can fight now and not burden my children.

  1. They just won’t let this die. My odds of dieing from COVID are so small. But as a young male my odds of heart inflammation are much much larger. I’m sick of being told heart inflammation is minor my buddies eyes swelled shut.

    1. @Jason Owlbright Sorry I thought you were. It is a very dangerous side effect from the vaccines and likely very under reported in adults as it takes time before we recognize if the vaccines have caused an increase.

  2. We must all stick together and stop this right away. we must all start before it starts. We can not allow this to happen!!!. I refuse to take endless shots. This is not right at all.

    1. @Novel Solutions lol the irony. You didn’t come up with that on your own did you? Lol, pathetic.

    2. @Novel Solutions Unlike me, I take Jogan Rogan supplements so that I can some day grow to be 5’7 like him

  3. No one has the right to pass laws or mandate what goes into someone’s body it violates medical law that is in place. I have the right to refuse a medical treatment. This is against the law.

    1. I had a very realistic dream months and months ago- it was the canadian army coming to my door and knocking loudly…for the forced vax

    2. @curmac29 Although I do not advocate violence, it is pretty clear that the bad guy in this situation is our government

  4. We must all stick together and stop this right away. we must all start before it starts. We can not allow this to happen!!!. I refuse to take endless shots. This is not right at all.

  5. There are no mandatory vaccines for any children in Canadian schools. There are and have always been exemptions.

    1. Those are for diseases that we have under control. We don’t currently have COVID under control, so we need to vaccinate any and all.

  6. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” – Albert Einstein

    1. @AtR I don’t think so, when I persevere to do something, I have set expectations… I’m not expecting a different result … you’re a little off on your definitions bud

    2. @Noots To Roots A set of expectations differentiates repetition towards a different result? Ever heard of training? Ever heard of failing till you succeed? This is why that quote is ridiculous.

      persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success, which is the same thing. Do you understand? hit 1 for yes hit 2 for no.. ill wait for your 2.

  7. I pay taxes to receive medical care that I ask for. Not so I can be demanded what is put into my body. Sad to see this happening in Canada…

    1. Yes they can. We already have laws that provide the health officials the right to medicate and give individuals needles in situations. If you are ever sent to a psychoatric they can and will hold you down and give you injections if needed.

    2. @Jeffrey Sweet Those are for the mentally ill who pose a risk to themselves or others. They have durations as well and need constant reviewal. There are also least restraint policies.
      What you seen to suggest is illegal.

    3. Sure take my healthcare away … then I want to be exempt from paying all taxes associated to healthcare

    4. @juliette Irene what’s to stop this criminal government from saying you’re “mentally ill” or that you’re a public health risk?

  8. If someone talks like this… they need to resign.
    Doesn’t matter they haven’t done anything yet.
    Words become actions.

  9. There are no mandatory vaccines for any children in Canadian schools. There are and have always been exemptions.

  10. Here it is, I called this last year, if this is allowed to happen, life as we know it will never be the same.

    1. Brad Zimmer it will never be over. Haven’t you read the plans for the future. 1. You will own nothing and you will be happy. Georgia Guidestones. #1 Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.. Everything you have will be rented. Food etc will be delivered by drones. The Diet will include very little meat. Everyone should do research into it because it will stun you. The Covid is being used to push this.

  11. How about this?The Human Rights Court has confirmed that Article 8 protects our physical, moral and psychological integrity, as well as our right to choose. Failing to respect someone’s competent refusal of medical treatment, and providing treatment against their will, is therefore protected against by Article 8.Sep. 19, 20Every competent adult has the right to refuse unwanted medical treatment. This is part of the right of every individual to choose what will be done to their own body, and it applies even when refusing treatment means that the person may die. Can you be refused medical treatment in Canada?

    You have the right to refuse any treatment, even if refusal might hasten your death. You also have the right to discontinue any treatment, test or procedure that has already started. The right to refuse food and drink. In Canada, nutrition and hydration by tube is considered medical treatment.What are the patient’s rights to refuse treatment?

    Every competent adult has the right to refuse unwanted medical treatment. This is part of the right of every individual to choose what will be done to their own body, and it applies even when refusing treatment means that the person may die. It seems that our government has forgotten about the constitution, laws, human rights and freedoms.

  12. I wouldn’t want to be the poltician that tries to make this mandatory. I dont think politicians know how unvaccinated folk will react

  13. Just shows how bad out heath care system is. The most expensive system in the world and also the worst with massive wait times . Needs a complete overhaul.
