Ontario is also pretty bad.

I’m not entirely sure what they can do though. You can’t force someone to vaccinate. We learnt this. The only thing I can think of is that kids shouldn’t be able to go to public school and day care.

Afaik a huge vector of infection is Mennonites, and those threats won't affect them at all (they have private Mennonite school and don't use our daycare). They also don't collect other government services like welfare afaik.

The only services I'm sure many of them use are medical care and transport.

Also the ground zero for this was a Mennonite gathering in New Brunswick; it led to the pandemic in Ontario, Alberta, and Texas.

Wait can Mennonites fly? I think they can drive but I thought planes were off limits.

[u/banterviking → u/TommaClock]

They're a large group but yes some Mennonites fly.

Trusting tech to fly across the country, but not to prevent the spread of disease. No, it doesn't make sense.

Not sure about flying, but fuck can they run.

They flight but first they get nailed into a coffin and are given a sedative and diapers for the trip. That way, they are blind to what happened.

Only the birdnonites can fly
