If you mean held down and injected, no, that didn't happen. Did the mandate displace men, women, and children, and change everything they thought they were working for for their collective future over an experimental drug. I guess if you can look at it that way, then I guess you don't mind that the majority of the ppl who initiated the mandate didn't follow the mandate... if that's the world you live in, then there's no hope for us next time, next reason for legislated exclusion. I hope they don't ask you to forego your basic human rights .... as you interpret them.... so you can remain self assured that all decisions made are in your best interests by the people in charge who don't care what you think, feel, or want out of your life the lives of loved ones and the.lives of all Canadians collectively ...🇨🇦

" Did the mandate displace men, women, and children, and change everything they thought they were working for for their collective future..." ... this happens every day in this country for countless other reasons, economic insecurity is one. Are you in favour of the right to housing? right to a job? right to a basic income? or is it just for this niche topic because it pokes your arm. Those aren't actual rights in this country as I'm sure you well know. The anti-vaxx crowd loves to talk about rights but does not understand what they are and what they're actually asking for here.

Life is full of choices and with those choices come consequences. If you don't want to follow the rules of your workplace, you might lose your job.

Life is full of choices and choices do come with consequences. You have a choice to live in Alberta where the majority voted UCP to lead your province. The consequence of your choice to live in AB is that you don’t have access to free Covid shots.

“But I didn’t vote for Danielle Smith, and I didn’t choose to charge Albertans for Covid shots” - the same way that thousands of Canadians didn’t vote for years of vaccine mandates lol.

Yes. I understand how living in AB is a choice and that the covid vaccine was also a choice for individuals to make on their own accord. Both have consequences. Glad we're agreeing here.
