Zeitgeist Posted February 5, 2022 Report Posted February 5, 2022 There’s a major qualitative difference between forcing people to get vaccinated and show the proof to enjoy basic freedoms and requiring people to wear a seatbelt on penalty of a fine or loss of points. First off, vaccines don’t prevent you from getting Covid. They mitigate and people have differences of informed opinion on their value based on a year of their existence. Seatbelts existed a long time before they were made mandatory. C’mon. No sophistication in these arguments. The situation today with what we know about Omicron and vaccines makes vaccine passports and our mandates and restrictions ridiculous. Trudeau is simplistic. Our government is weak. Bunch of bandwagoners who can’t wait to mandate treatments and remove freedoms. It’s so lame. Canada sucks right now.

I'm under the mandate my daughter gives me to force me to make her kids wear seatbelts in the pickup or a life-jacket when we go out in the boat. Their mom is like the voter, I'm the government under her mandate and the children are like...stubborn little conservatives who protest against it all most of the time. Quote if that is how you view government it's no wonder you support tyranny Only in my role as Master when I have a crew I'm allowed to torment. I can certainly see how there'd be no end of opportunities for a real psychopath in a real dictatorship. Full disclosure; we only follow mom's orders on the highway but when we go rippin up and down a logging road I let the kids jump in the back of the pickup and howl FREEDOM!!!!

Do you think its not force if government says the unvaccinated truckers or vaccinated travellers are forced to quarantine when coming back into the country? "Force" is ANY time you can't do whatever you want in society by law. Any time the government forces you to do something or not do something, it's force. Every single law in our society is "force", and they use fines or the threat of violence (arrest and jail) to ensure compliance. That's how the law works.
