Why are some Canadian healthcare workers still forced to get the COVID shot?
From LifeSiteNews
The province of British Columbia and most hospitals in Ontario continue to require at least two doses of the experimental COVID shot for healthcare workers, despite understaffed hospitals leaving many Canadians without access to care.
After over two years, some Canadian healthcare workers are still forced to comply with COVID vaccine mandates, despite an overwhelming worker shortage and evidence that the vaccine does not prevent transmission.
While most provinces have dropped their mandates, British Columbia continues to require at least two doses of the experimental COVID vaccine for their healthcare employees. As a result, unvaccinated nurses and doctors cannot return to work while hospitals remain understaffed.
British Columbia’s vaccine mandate remains as a result of the order of provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. While the province of Ontario has officially dropped their mandate, most hospitals still independently require the vaccine.
“It’s very strange,” an Ontario nurse speaking LifeSiteNews under the condition of anonymity said of the ongoing mandates. “I thought they would have gotten rid of the mandates by now. I don’t understand the reason for keeping them, especially when we’re in a healthcare worker shortage.”
Vaccine mandates for healthcare workers began in September 2021, resulting in unvaccinated doctors and nurses losing their jobs, while many medical students were kicked out of their programs.
Officials tried to justify the mandates by claiming the unvaccinated were “unprotected” from COVID while the vaccinated were believed to have immunity from the virus. However, there is overwhelming evidence that the COVID vaccine does not prevent transmission and instead causes a plethora of negative side effects.
Indeed, the research revealing the dangers and ineffectiveness of the vaccine would seem to prove that they are hardly necessary for healthcare staff. However, some officials remain intent on enforcing the mandate.
It seems odd that hospitals would hold on to their vaccine mandate during a staffing crisis. Why have they barred unvaccinated workers from returning to work? Are they driven by an ideology? Or perhaps a desire to force everyone to comply with the mandates despite the science?
Indeed, doctors and nurses who question the COVID narrative are treated even worse than those who refused the vaccine quietly.
Ontario pro-freedom Dr. Mark Trozzi recently announced he plans to appeal the stripping of his medical license for criticizing the mainstream narrative around the COVID-19 “pandemic” and the associated vaccines.
In any case, British Columbia and Ontario’s decisions have not only kept hundreds of unvaccinated nurses and doctors from returning to work, but they have also left many Canadians without access to healthcare.
As a result of the healthcare worker shortage, wait times to receive care in Canada have increased to an average of 27.7 weeks.
Unfortunately, the increased wait times have led some Canadians to despair of receiving treatment and instead choose to end their lives through Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), the euphemistic name for Canada’s euthanasia regime.
This is the case of 52-year-old Dan Quayle, a grandfather from British Columbia. On November 24, he chose to be medically killed by a lethal injection after being unable to receive cancer treatment due to the increased wait times.
Throughout the agonizing wait, his family “prayed he would change his mind or get an 11th-hour call that chemo had been scheduled,” but were instead told consistently by the hospital that they were “backlogged.”
A recent Health Canada memo revealed that a shortage of 90,000 doctors, nurses and other frontline healthcare workers has caused a “health worker crisis” in Canada.
While healthcare officials continue to mandate the vaccine in the name of “safety,” Canadians are denied proper healthcare due to ongoing understaffing in hospitals across the country.

Freedom Convoy’s Tamara Lich shares heartfelt letter from children: ‘God will be by your side’
From LifeSiteNews
Ahead of the announcement of the verdict from her trial in Canada, the Freedom Convoy co-leader posted on X the ‘beautiful letter’ from a 4-year-old and 8-year-old.
With a few weeks until a verdict is released, Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich shared a heartwarming letter she received from a child, who told her to “keep fighting” for everyone and that “God will protect” her from the “enemy.”
Lich shared an image of the letter Thursday on X, writing, “Feels like a good day to share this beautiful letter I received from some very wise children.”
The letter, which was handwritten and sent to Lich by 4-year-old Zavier and 8-year-old Alanis, has the title “God loves You.”
“Thank you for fighting for everyones FREEDOM. God will be by your side and God will protect you from the enemy,” the letter reads.
“With God everything is possible. Stay strong we are praying for you every step of the journey.”
Lich was arrested on February 17, 2022, in Ottawa. Co-leader Chris Barber was arrested the same day.
Lich and Barber’s trial concluded in September 2024, more than a year after it began. It was originally scheduled to last 16 days.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich and Barber’s verdict will be announced on March 12.
They both face a possible 10-year prison sentence. LifeSiteNews reported extensively on their trial.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich recently spelled out how much the Canadian government has spent prosecuting her and Barber for their role in the protests. She said at least $5 million in “taxpayer dollars” has been spent thus far, with her and Barber’s legal costs being above $750,000.
In early 2022, the Freedom Convoy saw thousands of Canadians from coast to coast come to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government enacted the never-before-used Emergencies Act (EA) on February 14, 2022.
During the clear-out of protesters after the EA was put in place, one protester, an elderly lady, was trampled by a police horse and one conservative female reporter was beaten by police and shot with a tear gas canister.
Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23.
The EA controversially allowed the government to freeze the bank accounts of protesters, conscript tow truck drivers, and arrest people for participating in assemblies the government deemed illegal.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ruled that Pat King must serve three months of house arrest and dedicate 100 hours to community service for his participation in the 2022 Freedom Convoy
Freedom Convoy participant Pat King has been given a 3-month conditional sentence for his role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest against COVID mandates.
On February 19, Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ruled that King must serve three additional months of house arrest and dedicate 100 hours to community service for his role in the Freedom Convoy. King’s sentence would have been 12 months, but the court gave him credit for time served prior to his trial.
“In the court’s opinion, there is a social harm to unduly elevating the sentencing rules of denunciation and deterrence in the context of political protests to result in punitive sentences at the top of the sentencing range,” Hackland wrote, explaining why he did not opt to sentence King to a whopping 10-year prison sentence, as the Crown prosecutors had advocated for.
“The risk is that an overly severe sentence of imprisonment in the context of legitimate, constitutionally protected activity can have the effect of creating a chill or fear of participation in political expression,” he continued.
In November, King was found guilty of two counts of disobeying a court order, one count of mischief, one count of counselling others to commit mischief, as well as one count of counselling others to obstruct police.
King’s charges are in relation to his role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy which featured thousands of Canadians camping out in downtown Ottawa to call for an end to the COVID regulations and vaccine mandates in place at the time.
Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government enacted the Emergencies Act on February 14, 2022, to put an end to the popular convoy. Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23, but only after using the powers granted by the legislation to freeze the bank accounts of protesters, conscript tow truck drivers, and arrest people for participating in the assembly.
The two main Freedom Convoy leaders, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, are still awaiting their verdicts for their involvement in the 2022 protests. Like King, if convicted, they face a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
While some of the most notable people involved in the protest, like Lich and Barber, face a slew of charges that come with potentially harsh sentences, other protesters charged for participating have seen their charges dropped.
