Civil disobedience incoming in Québec?

[QuebecOverCanada]

PM François Legault decided to call for another curfew in Québec starting tomorrow. He says it will be only 2 weeks, just like last year he lied to our faces and claimed it was only for 4 weeks, lasting in reality 5 months, resulting in a memorable riot in Montréal.

Rebel News was there during the riot in case you missed it. 

These riots led to the withdrawal of many measures, including the curfew.

The population, especially the younger ones, will probably not agree with his demands a second time. The virus is mild, people are already vaccinated.

Worse.

They closed down restaurants, gyms and other non essential businesses every Sunday.

This means people will have time on their Saturdays. Lots of time. I wonder where it will go.

The curfew imposed was at 8PM.

Yes, there is going to be protesting, civil disobedience, etc.

Leaving everything open will led to a Brazil situation with Covid out of control and health care system ruined.

However, restrictions as Legault has implemented them are detrimental to Covid-savvy citizens (can't work out in gym or jog at night, evening shift workers' lives turned up-side-down, service industry small business bankruptcies to soar again).

Force-slow restrictions might be more effective, as people are going to party during the day in private and spread Covid anyway as they did last year.

Force-slow = keep all businesses open longer so that capacities can be reduced much more, hire more employees to disinfect surfaces, etc., instead of curfew simply shut down gas stations and public transit during those hours to prevent activity during those times and allow night shift workers and healthy joggers to continue uninterrupted, reduce all factory and construction projects and jobs to reduce workplace contacts.

I wouldn't comment on protests but a worse and much farther-reaching effect could be disillusionment and loss of trust in public authority. Possible consequences, even in the medium term could hardly be predicted as the past shows very clearly. Trust is built on matching promises to results. After even a short time in the office it's quite easy to forget.

OK first of all...the hospitals are not in any danger...other than self-inflicted wounds by the imposition of these silly vax mandates. Stupid them.

Second..."Covid-savvy citizens"??? What a strange yet oddly illuminating statement. Both seriously misguided and condescending at the same time.

Well done lad.

Hospitals are increasing in their patient loads due to Covid. Visit any hospital, and people begin flooding in at first cough or sign of fever. There are people who are obsessed with getting tested and/or seeing a doctor at first sign of illness, people who do not have family doctors and who go to hospital instead, and it is not appropriate to turn them away.

Some people are more Covid-savvy than others. There are folks everywhere who do not even wear a mask properly and wear it only over mouth and not nose. Yet they still put masks on even though this wearing practice defeats the point entirely. This is just one example and this is 20 months into this.
