Ontario inexplicably continues to enforce COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers

Many are beginning to question if the mandate is part of a bigger agenda or even a cover-up for the mishandling of the COVID ‘pandemic.’

British Columbia finally lifted its vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, leaving only Ontario still enforcing the experimental shot for healthcare workers.

Unvaccinated healthcare workers have been forced out of hospitals in Ontario since 2021, when Premier Doug Ford imposed a COVID-19 vaccine passport system across the public and private sectors.

Now, while the provincial mandates have been officially dropped, power given to bureaucrats during the height of the COVID ā€œpandemicā€ has allowed vaccine mandates to be enforced in hospitals across the province.

While some hospitals offer religious or medical exemptions, healthcare workers have told LifeSiteNews that these are rarely granted, meaning finding work as a healthcare worker is nearly impossible in Ontario.

Perhaps even more surprising is that Ford has not stepped in to prevent hospitals from banning unvaccinated staff from work, especially after NDP-run British ColumbiaĀ droppedĀ its mandate late last month.

Indeed, a recentĀ appealĀ from Ontario physicians revealed that 2.5 million residents of the province are currently without a family doctor.

According to new data, the number of Ontarians without a family doctor has risen from 1.8 million in 2020 to 2.5 million as of September 2023. The data further revealed that more than 160,000 people were added to the list in a six-month period alone.

Why won’t Ontario let the unvaccinated return to work?

But the question remains: Why won’t Ontario let go of their outdated and unreasonable mandate, especially when it is leaving residents without necessary medical care?

However, it cannot be the first reason since recently released figuresĀ have revealed that not only is Ford aware of the shortage but is actively trying to hide it from Canadians.

The data showed that Ontario will need 33,200 more nurses and 50,853 more personal support workers by 2032 to fill the healthcare workers shortage, figures that Ford had asked the Information and Privacy Commissioner to keep secret.

Additionally, Ford can hardly believe that allowing the unvaccinated to return would not help the shortage as Raphael Gomez, director of the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Relations at the University of Toronto, toldĀ CTV NewsĀ that as many asĀ 10 percent of nursesĀ in the province either quit or retired early as a result of the mandates.

Additionally, the number is not counting the number of unvaccinated young Ontario residents who have decided not to go into the medical field since they will not be able to work in their province.

Finally, the argument that allowing unvaccinated health care staff to return would pose a risk to patients is unfounded to say the least. In addition to evidence of deaths and serious injuries due to the COVID jabs, it has furthermore been shown that the injectionsĀ do not prevent the transmissionĀ of the virus.

Since none of the previously stated reasons could be reasonably held by the Ford government, many are beginning to question if the mandate is part of a bigger agenda or even a cover-up of the mishandling of the COVID ā€œpandemic.ā€

Ontario pro-freedom Dr. Mark Trozzi, who has beenĀ persecutedĀ for resisting the COVID agenda, previously told LifeSiteNews that the ongoing vaccine mandates are an attempt to cover up the fact that the shots were a failure and dangerous.

ā€œI believe that anyone continuing to administrate these mandates rather than halting these injections entirely, because of their extreme danger signals, is negligent if not intentionally criminal,ā€ he declared.

ā€œThey are pretending that they did not just severely screw up thus killing and injuring many innocent people,ā€ Trozzi explained. ā€œIn continuing the mandates and not halting the injections, they persist in placing their own interests to cover their guilt and maintain their profits rather than even remotely serve their duty to protect human life. It is my opinion that they should be removed from office in handcuffs and prosecuted.ā€

Trozzi further pointed out that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is bothĀ creating and ā€œsolvingā€Ā the doctor shortage.

ā€œThe leadership of Canada’s colleges of physicians and surgeons along with guilty persons in provincial and federal governments, stripped the licenses of our most trustworthy physicians and nurses,ā€ he explained.

ā€œThey also forced an exodus of quieter but intelligent doctors who quietly refused to be injected with the C-19 genetic ā€˜vaccines,ā€™ā€ Trozzi continued. ā€œWhat makes this worse is the current precedent being set, which is to inject and muzzle all our still licensed doctors and nurses and eliminate any doctor or nurse who warns the public with true science.ā€

The Trials of Liberty: What the Truckers Taught Canada About Power and Protest

Published on

Half the country still believes the convoy was a menace; the other half thinks it was a mirror that showed how fragile our freedoms had become.

This Thanksgiving I am grateful for many things. The truckers who stood up to injustice are among them.

When the first rigs rolled toward Ottawa in January 2022, the air was sharp, but not as sharp as the mood of the men and women behind the wheels. They were not radicals. Seeing a CBC a campaign of disinformation about them begin as soon as their trek started, even when Ottawa political operatives hadn’t yet heard, I started following several of them on their social media.

They were truckers, small business owners, independent contractors, and working Canadians who had spent two years hauling the essentials that kept a paralyzed nation alive. They were the same people politicians, including Prime Minister Trudeau, had called ā€œheroesā€ in 2020. By 2022, they had become ā€œthreats.ā€

The Freedom Convoy was born from exhaustion with naked hypocrisy. The federal government that praised them for risking exposure on the road now barred the unvaccinated from crossing borders or even earning a living. Many in provincial governments cheered Ottawa on. The same officials who flew to foreign conferences maskless or sat in private terraces to dine, let’s recall, still forced toddlers to wear masks in daycare. Public servants worked from home while police fined citizens for walking in parks.

These contradictions were not trivial; they were models of tyrannical rule. They told ordinary people that rules were for the ruled, not for rulers.

By late 2021, Canada’s pandemic response had hardened into a hysterical moral regime. Compliance became a measure of virtue, not prudence. Citizens who questioned the mandates were mocked as conspiracy theorists. Those who questioned vaccine efficacy were treated as fools; those who refused vaccination were treated as contagious heretics. Even science was no longer scientific. When data showed that vaccines did not prevent transmission, officials changed definitions instead of policies. The regime confused authority with truth. One former provincial premier just this week was still hailing the miracle of ā€œlife-savingā€ COVID vaccines.

For truckers, the breaking point came with the federal vaccine mandate for cross-border transport. Many had already complied with provincial rules and workplace testing. Others had recovered from COVID and had natural immunity that the government refused to recognize. To them, the new rule was not about safety; it was about humiliation. It said, ā€œObey, or you are unfit to work.ā€

So they drove.

Donna Laframboise, one of the rare journalists who works for citizens instead of sponsors, described the convoy in her bookĀ Thank You, Truckers!Ā with gratitude and awe. She saw not a mob but a moral statement. She showcased for us Canadians who refused to live by lies. Their horns announced what polite society whispered: the emergency had become a creepy habit, and the habit had become a tool of control.

When the convoy reached Ottawa, it was messy, loud, and human. There was singing, prayer, laughter, dancing and some foolishness, but also remarkable discipline. For three weeks, amid frigid temperatures and rising tension, there were no riots, no arsons, no looting. In a country that once prized civility, that should have earned respect.

Instead, it attracted the media’s and government’s contempt.

The Trudeau government, rattled by its own public failures, sprung to portray the protest as a national security threat. Ministers invoked language fit for wartime. The Prime Minister, who had initially fled the city claiming to have tested positive, returned to declare that Canadians were under siege by ā€œracistsā€ and ā€œmisogynists.ā€ The accusations were as reckless as they were false. The government’s real grievance was not chaos but defiance.

Then came theĀ Emergencies Act. Designed for war, invasion, or insurrection, it was now deployed against citizens with flags and thermoses. Bank accounts were frozen without charge or trial. Insurance policies were suspended. Police weilding clubs were unleashed against unarmed citizens. The federal government did not enforce the law; it improvised it.

A faltering government declared itself the victim of its citizens. The Emergency declaration was not a reaction to danger; it was a confession of political insecurity. It exposed a leadership that could not tolerate dissent and recast obedience for peace.

The convoy’s organizers, who kept the protest largely peaceful, were arrested and prosecuted as though they had plotted sedition. They were charged for holding the line, not for breaking it. The state’s behaviour was vindictive, not judicial. Prosecutors went along with it, and so did courts.

In a healthy democracy, such political trials would have shaken Parliament to its core. Legislators would have demanded justification for the use of emergency powers. The press would have asked precisely which law had been broken. Citizens would have debated the limits of government in times of fear, times which seem to continue just under the radar.

Not much of that happened.

Canada’s institutions have grown timid. The press is subsidized and more subservient. The courts happily defer to the administrative state. Law enforcement has learned to follow politics before principle. Academics have been lost for about generation. Under such conditions, how can citizens object to unscientific and coercive policies? What options remain when every channel of dissent—media, science, judiciary, and law enforcement—is captured or cowed?

The convoy’s protest, let’s remember, was not the first major disruption in the Trudeau years. A year earlier, Indigenous activists blocked rail lines and highways in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs opposed to a pipeline. The blockades cost the economy millions. They were called ā€œa national conversation.ā€ Few arrests, no frozen accounts, no moral panic.

In 2020, Black Lives Matter marches were cheered by politicians and news anchors. Some protests were peaceful, others destructive. Yet they were treated as expressions of justice, not extremism.

Even today, pro-Hamas Palestinian demonstrations that include violence and intimidation of Jewish citizens are tolerated with a shrug. The police stand back, bring them coffee, citing ā€œthe right to protest.ā€

Why, then, was the Freedom Convoy treated as a crisis of state?

In a liberal democracy, protest is not rebellion. It is a civic instrument, a reminder that authority is contingent. When a government punishes peaceful protest because it disapproves of the message, it turns democracy into dƩcor.

The trials of the convoy organizers are therefore not about law but about legitimacy. Each conviction signals that protest is permitted only when it pleases the powerful. This is the logic of every soft tyranny: it criminalizes opposition while decorating itself with the vocabulary of rights. I see this daily in Nicaragua, my native land.

The truckers’ protest revealed what the pandemic concealed. The COVID regime was unscientific and incoherent. It punished truckers who worked alone in their cabs while allowing politicians to mingle maskless at conferences. It barred unvaccinated Canadians from air travel but allowed infected citizens to cross borders with the proper paperwork. It closed playgrounds and churches while keeping liquor stores open.

These contradictions were not mistakes; they were instruments of obedience. Each absurd rule tested how much submission people would endure.

The truckers said, ā€œEnough.ā€ I am grateful that they did.

For that,Ā Chris Barber (Big Red)Ā andĀ Tamara LichĀ šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦Ā are still being punished. Their trials have now concluded, save for possible appeals, yet their quiet defiance remains one of the few honest moments in recent Canadian history. It showed that courage is still possible, even the state seems to forbid reason.

The government’s response revealed the opposite: that fear, once politicized, is never surrendered willingly. The state that learned to rule through emergency will not soon unlearn it. They cling to its uses still.

Canada lives with the legacy of that winter today. The trials are finished, but the divisions persist. Half the country still believes the convoy was a menace; the other half thinks it was a mirror that showed how fragile our freedoms had become.

Trudeau’s government is no more, yet the spirit of his politics lingers. He did not create the divisions by accident. He cultivated them as a strategy of control. The country that left him behind is also less free, less trusting, and less united than it was before the horns sounded in Ottawa. Carney’s government is Trudeau’s heir.

The trials and sentencing measure the distance between the Canada we imagined and the one we inhabit.

The truckers’ convoy was imperfect, yet profoundly democratic. It stood for the right of citizens to say no to a government that had forgotten how to hear them. The echo of that refusal still moves down the Trans-Canada Highway. It is the sound of liberty idling in the cold, waiting for a green light that will not soon come.

This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the abounding love and understanding in my life. I am grateful for my spirited children and their children. I am grateful for my nonagenarian father and for my siblings. I’m grateful for the legion of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews on all sides of the family. I am grateful for loyal friendships and for my colleagues and coworkers who share the quest for a freer country. I’m grateful to my adoptive Alberta, and Albertans, also struggling to be strong and free.

I am grateful for the Truckers, wherever they came from, for their courage.

Devastating COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effect Confirmed by New Data: Study

Published on

The Vigilant Fox

In one of the greatest violations of medical ethics in modern history,Ā a new studyĀ from South Korea has uncovered devastating consequences from promoting and mandating the COVID-19 injections on the population.

These shots were pushed on babies and pregnant women, directly contradicting the ethical rule against introducing new medical interventions to such vulnerable groups before long-term effects are fully understood.

But they weren’t just aggressively promoted; they were enforced. Refusing the COVID-19 injection could cost you your job, bar you from concerts, businesses, and museums, and, in some cases, even deny you a life-saving surgery unless you complied with the mandate.

Now, as many doctors long warned, the consequences of such reckless health policy are surfacing, and one of the most alarming outcomes is a dramatic rise in cancer risk.

A large-scale population study out of South Korea has now found aĀ 27% overall increase in cancerĀ linked to the COVID-19 injections that were marketed as ā€œsafe and effective.ā€

Dr. John Campbell noted:Ā ā€œThere’s a one in a thousand chance that this result arose by chance.ā€ He illustrated the overall cancer rise with a stark graph, as seen in the short video below:

With regard to the details of the study,Ā Children’s Health Defense reports:

The study used data from 2021–2023 for over 8.4 million people in South Korea’s National Health Insurance Service database. The sample was split into two groups based on vaccination status. The vaccinated sample was further split into booster and non-booster groups.

Researchers tracked the patients for one year. The vaccinated group was tracked following vaccination. The results showed a statistically significant higher risk of cancer in the vaccinated group, including:

• Overall cancer: 27% higher risk

• Breast cancer: 20% higher risk

• Colorectal cancer: 28% higher risk

• Gastric cancer: 34% higher risk

• Lung cancer: 53% higher risk

• Prostate cancer: 69% higher risk

• Thyroid cancer: 35% higher risk

These results are nothing short of devastating. Our worst fears have become reality.

And the worst part is that it didn’t have to be this way. Health officials ignored caution, silenced dissent, and turned public health into a reckless experiment.

Now the consequences of such reckless policies have turned the COVID wave into a health tsunami. The longer this issue is ignored, the greater the damage will become. It’s time for health officials to take responsibility for what they’ve done.
