    1. @Yggdrassil You’re comparing apples to oranges buddy. Applying a retroactive financial tax is VERY different than a tax you are paying upfront.

    1. @Jason Let’s call this for what it really is , a fine.
      Taxes are for consumption.
      Fines are for transgressions.

    1. See “insert province or country here” did something, we should do the same.

      Kind of like all the arbitrary rules that followed zero science.
      Cloth masks, six feet rule, 10/14 day isolation, etc.

    2. @Ska Sc We should start calling them Naucis! Since they were brainwashed and indoctrinated by the great minister!

    3. @skate metal It creates a horrible precident. Don’t be surprised if it leads to a whole slew of such health care fee penalties based on individual lifestyle choices.

  1. “It’s not that difficult”. Once I decide to let you make decisions for me you are right. And I give you the responsibility for my health too. While we are at it why don’t you name my kids at birth too, or better yet, have the government get my wife pregnant as well. Give me a break.

    1. @Chuck Arrand If you’re vaxxed then what are you freaking out about? We have actual crazies that we need to convince to get vaxxed here. You’re not helping.

    2. @Yggdrassil informed consent without coercion!
      International and Canadian law.
      Nuremberg, look it up shill.

    3. ” Once I decide to let you make decisions for me you are right. ” he was voted in for his province so they did give him the right to make decision for them ….so what’s your point ?

  2. Not mandatory just taking away everything until you comply.

  3. When you take the money from someone by coerce , you call that “tax” ?

  4. Miss a booster? Pay the government. Had enough boosters? Pay the government. You do not own your body. The government does now.

    1. this failed goverment need an excape goat….. they need to put blame for everything on the unvax…this vile corrupt racist governmental system is souless and if you support this….they you too are souless

  5. In 2014 they sent me home from the hospital because I could walk and taught my spouse to do my dressing changes because they didn’t have enough beds or staff then to manage every one

  6. We are vaxed and boostered, and still getting sick. In Ontario you can return to work in 5 days if YOU say, your ok. Getting tested is almost impossible now, at home rapid test almost don’t exist. Charging non vaxed isn’t going to solve the problem.

  7. When you take the money from someone by coerce , you call that “tax” ?

  8. Quebec has some of the worst health care in the country. I saw someone with a broken collar bone sitting 12 hours in the ER seating area. Others there for 18 hours and this was 7 years ago. I’m not surprised they are looking to tax those that are least likely to use their services. Quebec does already have some of the highest property tax rates in the country so why not raise them even higher I suppose.

    1. I lived there 20 years ago. Also out of touch then. My nurse wife worked there at that time and considered their health care system management out of touch with the rest of the world.

    2. The Whole country heath care is failing and they have been for like 25 years
      I live in Burnaby Bc and it’s a 3 hour wait for a Ambulance or Fire truck to show up
      We live 5 minutes from the fire station
