CBC: Unvaccinated Quebecers will have to pay a health tax, Legault says
Unvaccinated Quebecers without medical exemptions will have to pay if they don't get 1st dose soon
Quebec Premier François Legault said Tuesday the province would be imposing a health tax on Quebecers who refuse to get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in the coming weeks.
"We're looking for a health contribution for adults who refuse to be vaccinated for non-medical reasons," Legault said at a news conference, in which he also announced an interim public health director to replace Dr. Horacio Arruda.
Arruda handed in his resignation letter Monday evening, pointing to public criticism of recent health measures. Quebec imposed an overnight curfew before New Year's Eve, the second time it has done so over the course of the pandemic.
Legault did not say when the payment would take effect or how much it would cost, but he did say he wanted it to be significant enough to act as an incentive to get vaccinated — more than $50 or $100, he added. Legault said details would be revealed "in the coming weeks."

WNU Editor: I live in this province. Needless to say that there are a lot of people who are not happy with this draconian proposal.

Good.
The CHUDS must be re-educated, failing that, liquidated.
It's harsh but fair.
Are there impositions for a host of other medical/social conditions? Are there similar requirements for the annual flu vaccine, colonoscopies, or other presumably medically important preventive measures? I am unfamiliar with Canadian policies because for many of us medical insurance, like life insurance, often takes into account various matters which increase the risks of illness or hospitalization. In the US, with the drive to eliminate pre-existing conditions from how insurances can adjust or deny policies, there has been a general escalation in premiums. What has happened to the medical budgets in the provinces in Canada?
Can't pay? Have your property confiscated & off to the concentration camps. The unvacinated can be of more use by giving up their gold fillings & having their skin made into lamp shades. How long are the Canadian people going to put up with this? Pay your politicians a visit & give them your point of view. Keep ducking 🙉
@ 5:11 liquidated? You're sick
only pay for what you choose
Fortunately we still have "red state" governors in the US who are resisting such nonsense right now.
