Ontario Health at Home’s enforcement of COVID shot mandates for new hires prohibits unjabbed healthcare workers from employment, despite a severe staffing crisis.

Ontario Health at Home is enforcing its COVID shot mandates for new hires, despite ongoing staff crises across the country.

In a newly posted job description, Ontario Health at Home advertises for a project specialist to assist with at-home care for Ontarians, while also insisting that candidates be “fully vaccinated” against COVID.

“We have a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy,” the posting reads. “As a condition of employment, all employees are required to submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination status prior to start date.”

Ontario’s continued enforcement of COVID shot mandates comes after all other provinces have lifted the mandate. In 2022, Ontario updated its policy to remove provincial jab requirements but encourages medical agencies to enforce the mandates on their own.

Now, while the provincial mandates have been officially dropped, power given to bureaucrats during the height of the COVID “pandemic” has allowed shot 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 without COVID “vaccination.”

Furthermore, Ontario is suffering from a severe staffing crises, which is only exacerbated by preventing unjabbed health care workers from offering care.

A 2024 appeal 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

As LifeSiteNews previously reported, Ontario will need 33,200 more nurses and 50,853 more personal support workers by 2032 to fill the healthcare workers shortage – figures the Progressive Conservative government of Doug Ford had asked the Information and Privacy Commissioner to keep secret.

While the official number of nurses and other workers relieved of their duties for refusing to take the experimental injections remains uncertain, Raphael Gomez, director of the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Relations at the University of Toronto, told CTV News that as many as 10 percent of nurses in the province either quit or retired early as a result of the mandates.

Tragically, the health care workers shortage has meant that many Canadians are unable to receive care, as the average wait sits at 27.7 weeks.

Unfortunately, the increased wait times have led some Canadians to despair of receiving treatment and instead chose to end their lives through “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAID), the euphemistic name for Canada’s euthanasia regime.

This is the case of 52-year-old Dan Quayle, a grandfather from British Columba. On November 24, he chose to be medically killed by a lethal injection after being unable to receive cancer treatment due to the increased wait times.

Unfortunately, Quayle’s story is not unique, as many Canadians have chosen to end their lives with assisted suicide as they are unable to obtain necessary healthcare.

In 2022, a Winnipeg woman wrote in her posthumously published obituary that she chose to die by assisted suicide after being refused the treatments she needed: “I could have had more time if I had more help.”

The Royal Bank of Canada terminated Freedom Convoy lawyer Eva Chipiuk’s accounts, saying her activity is outside its ‘client risk appetite’ and prompting accusations of political targeting.

The Royal Bank of Canada is shutting down a Freedom Convoy lawyer’s accounts over “risk concerns.”

In a July 23 post on X, Freedom Convoy layer Eva Chipiuk revealed that the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) terminated its banking relationship with her, citing “risk-related concerns” due to “recent activity” being outside their “client risk appetite.”

“As a federally regulated financial institution, RBC is required by law to comply with applicable legislation,” the letter, posted on X, read. “These laws require that we implement certain processes and procedures which directly support the formulation of RBC’s positions with respect to risk.”

“After careful consideration, we regretfully advise you that the recent activity in your accounts is outside of RBC’s client risk appetite, and consequently we are no longer in a position to continue our banking relationship with you,” it continued.

Well, I wasn’t expecting this, @RBC.

The decision followed a flagged Bitcoin transaction, after which RBC froze her account and asked her questions about her crypto activities, which she described to the Western Standard as “strange and demeaning.”

The bank gave her until August 18, 2025, to find a new financial institution, cryptically referencing compliance with federal regulations but providing no specific law or detailed explanation.

Chipiuk, who has been vocal about her criticism of Canadian institutions, suggested the debanking might be linked to her involvement in the Freedom Convoy or her public stance.

Many Canadians responded to the news online, calling out tyrannical government behavior and advocating for Canadians to invest their money in bitcoin and crypto currency.

“This is brazen and astonishing behavior by @RBC towards @echipiuk,” Ontario member of provincial parliament (MPP) Randy Hillier wrote on X.

“Eva is a well-known lawyer in Canada and has been debanked apparently because she is a ‘risk,’” he continued. “It appears that because she uses crypto and is a well known vocal advocate for freedom, she can’t have a bank account.”

“Please note! Everyone of the 5 Canadian bank owns a major stake in each other,” he warned. “Banks are becoming unsafe for Canadians and Credit unions are a safe and better alternative.”

This is brazen and astonishing behavior by @RBC towards @echipiuk.
Eva is a well-known lawyer in Canada and has been debanked apparently because she is a "risk."

It appears that because she uses crypto and is a well known vocal advocate for freedom, she can't have a bank… https://t.co/Z5JsShDkoI

The move is reminiscent of major Canadian banks freezing funds of those who donated to the 2022 Freedom Convoy, under the direction of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Under his invocation of the Emergencies Act, which was later ruled to be unjustified, the Trudeau government took the unprecedented step of freezing the bank accounts of hundreds who donated to and sympathized with the truckers to the tune of almost $8 million.
