You do know that the vast majority of jobs in Canada do not require being vaccinated, right?
Did you know that vaccine requirements for certain jobs have existed for decades, and no one has lost their minds like this?
Do you think it’s possible that right wing politicians are purposely trying to cause outrage over something that has been a normal and accepted practise in order to further their political goals?
It's called a career because you do it your whole life and you keep getting paid more money to do it. What are other job options for truckers? Fast food? Warehouse? It's not like you can just go get a SWE job.
Yes, but you agree to that mandate before getting the job. When you join the Army you know you're selling your body to the state.
Of course politicians are politicizing. But they're just riding the wave of something that people are already mad about--like higher taxes and abortion. Your comment makes it sound like people are mindless automatons whose opinions have no substance. They are opinions that differ from your own but that's OK. We need both sides of the discussion for a healthy democracy.
> It's called a career because you do it your whole life and you keep getting paid more money to do it.
People get fired all the time for a multitude of reasons. In fact, thanks to at will employment in the US, people get fired for no reason at all. I haven't seen mass protests about at will employment.
> What are other job options for truckers?
I would assume the same jobs available to anyone when they get fired.
> We need both sides of the discussion for a healthy democracy.
Agreed, but there is a problem when one side is not arguing in good faith. I would call occupying the nation's capital and assaulting people wearing masks not arguing in good faith.
We started with almost no jobs needing proof of vaccination to a lot needing it.
Each week more and more require it, you talk like this is a minor thing that will not escalate, when it clearly has been.
The options you seem to think unvaccinated Canadians have are slim and moving towards non, That is why people are protesting.
>"You do know that the vast majority of jobs in Canada do not require being vaccinated, right?"
Well suddenly vast majority now does require COVID vaccination. It is forced even on people that never show up in the office. So if I were you I'd come up with some better arguments to advance the agenda.
I'd call that "force" even if it's 2 degrees removed.
