ICYMI: Ford says end of Ontario vaccine certificates on March 1 comes ‘despite’ trucker protests
Premier Doug Ford insisted the steps are not a result of pressure from anti-vaccine mandate protesters.
Due to those metrics, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore presented a plan to lift the COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine certificates, Ford said, noting that the plan had been in the works since before protesters began occupying downtown Ottawa more than two weeks ago. “But for all of this, I can still take comfort in knowing that there remains so much that unites us.”
Less than two weeks later, on March 1, capacity limits will be lifted in all remaining indoor public settings and proof-of-vaccination requirements will end for all settings. “Just telling them that they’re free to keep it – does that mean that they’re free to keep it without risks of a human rights case or lawsuit?” said CFIB president Dan Kelly.
“We’ve told Canadians for two straight years that it’s dangerous to leave your home, stay home as much as possible or or leave only with really, really heavy restrictions around it,” he said.
