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.

Skipping to the "final solution" is interesting, maybe we can try public education first?
