So, you agree then that
1)People should be at liberty to make their own medical choices?
2) People should be able to live their lives without unnecessary government rules and regulations?
3) Citizens should not be demonized, singled out, or provoked for just living their lives, and being themselves? Citizens should also be treated equally under the law, and be given the same benefit of the doubt when standing against the government machine?
Seems like it's not too far a leap of logic (or consistency) to suggest that mandates might just violate a couple of the above.
1) 100%. If the Gov’t ever forced anyone to be sterilized, (and oh, I will throw you the bone) vaccinated, I would be against it.
There are exceptions. Sometimes people get crazy, and competent medical professionals need to administer sedatives. Or, sometimes someone is a danger to themselves or others, and needs to be restrained.
2) 100%. People should be allowed to live there lives without “unnecessary” government t rules. I will say, Liberals are guilty of this one from time to time.
Since we are talking about Pandemic restrictions… I would argue measures taken last year were spot on, and necessary. I think of both the Federal and Provincial governments had spent more money on facilities and bed to treat the sick, many of todays mandates could have been avoided.
Public safety does trumps individual rights. If I came back from Africa having contracted Ebola, it would not be reasonable for me to say “the gov’t don’t have the right to make me quarantine”, and show up at your office to say hi to you. Since we have City, Provincial, Federal, and Global medical professionals all agreeing we are in a Global Pandemic… Certain restrictions were justified. I do not believe it to be a global cabal of elitists taking control.
3.). You are being vague. I work in transport. If you get in one of my vehicles and assert your right to not be vaccinated or wear a mask, I will politely ask you to exit. I have to follow both Provincial regulations, and keep my drivers safe. Even if this variant is not deadly, my guys can’t miss 14 days of work for quarantine. They have families, and bills to pay.
Many of the things you talking about are not really rights though.
You should aim your anger in the right direction. The government did not want a pandemic any more than you or I did. I am trying to survive financially too. It sucks. Not JT’s or DF’s fault.
