Ontario inexplicably continues to enforce COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers
From LifeSiteNews
Many are beginning to question if the mandate is part of a bigger agenda or even a cover-up for the mishandling of the COVID ‘pandemic.’
British Columbia finally lifted its vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, leaving only Ontario still enforcing the experimental shot for healthcare workers.
Unvaccinated healthcare workers have been forced out of hospitals in Ontario since 2021, when Premier Doug Ford imposed a COVID-19 vaccine passport system across the public and private sectors.
Now, while the provincial mandates have been officially dropped, power given to bureaucrats during the height of the COVID “pandemic” has allowed vaccine mandates to be enforced in hospitals across the province.
While some hospitals offer religious or medical exemptions, healthcare workers have told LifeSiteNews that these are rarely granted, meaning finding work as a healthcare worker is nearly impossible in Ontario.
Perhaps even more surprising is that Ford has not stepped in to prevent hospitals from banning unvaccinated staff from work, especially after NDP-run British Columbia dropped its mandate late last month.
Indeed, a recent appeal from Ontario physicians revealed that 2.5 million residents of the province are currently without a family doctor.
According to new data, the number of Ontarians without a family doctor has risen from 1.8 million in 2020 to 2.5 million as of September 2023. The data further revealed that more than 160,000 people were added to the list in a six-month period alone.
Why won’t Ontario let the unvaccinated return to work?
But the question remains: Why won’t Ontario let go of their outdated and unreasonable mandate, especially when it is leaving residents without necessary medical care?
Assuming Ford has the best of intentions, there are three obvious reasons for not lifting the mandate: Ford is unaware of the severity of the shortage, he believes allowing unvaccinated workers will not solve the problem, or he believes that allowing the unvaccinated to return would be a greater risk than leaving Ontarians without medical care.
However, it cannot be the first reason since recently released figures have revealed that not only is Ford aware of the shortage but is actively trying to hide it from Canadians.
The data showed that Ontario will need 33,200 more nurses and 50,853 more personal support workers by 2032 to fill the healthcare workers shortage, figures that Ford had asked the Information and Privacy Commissioner to keep secret.
Additionally, Ford can hardly believe that allowing the unvaccinated to return would not help the shortage as Raphael Gomez, director of the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Relations at the University of Toronto, told CTV News that as many as 10 percent of nurses in the province either quit or retired early as a result of the mandates.
Additionally, the number is not counting the number of unvaccinated young Ontario residents who have decided not to go into the medical field since they will not be able to work in their province.
Finally, the argument that allowing unvaccinated health care staff to return would pose a risk to patients is unfounded to say the least. In addition to evidence of deaths and serious injuries due to the COVID jabs, it has furthermore been shown that the injections do not prevent the transmission of the virus.
Since none of the previously stated reasons could be reasonably held by the Ford government, many are beginning to question if the mandate is part of a bigger agenda or even a cover-up of the mishandling of the COVID “pandemic.”
Ontario pro-freedom Dr. Mark Trozzi, who has been persecuted for resisting the COVID agenda, previously told LifeSiteNews that the ongoing vaccine mandates are an attempt to cover up the fact that the shots were a failure and dangerous.
“I believe that anyone continuing to administrate these mandates rather than halting these injections entirely, because of their extreme danger signals, is negligent if not intentionally criminal,” he declared.
“They are pretending that they did not just severely screw up thus killing and injuring many innocent people,” Trozzi explained. “In continuing the mandates and not halting the injections, they persist in placing their own interests to cover their guilt and maintain their profits rather than even remotely serve their duty to protect human life. It is my opinion that they should be removed from office in handcuffs and prosecuted.”
Trozzi further pointed out that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is both creating and “solving” the doctor shortage.
“The leadership of Canada’s colleges of physicians and surgeons along with guilty persons in provincial and federal governments, stripped the licenses of our most trustworthy physicians and nurses,” he explained.
“They also forced an exodus of quieter but intelligent doctors who quietly refused to be injected with the C-19 genetic ‘vaccines,’” Trozzi continued. “What makes this worse is the current precedent being set, which is to inject and muzzle all our still licensed doctors and nurses and eliminate any doctor or nurse who warns the public with true science.”

A judge ruled that the Ontario Court of Justice is already ‘satisfied’ with Chris Barber’s sentence and taking away his very livelihood would be ‘disproportionate.’
A Canadian judge has dismissed a demand from Canadian government lawyers to seize Freedom Convoy leader Chris Barber’s “Big Red” semi-truck.
On Friday, Ontario Court of Justice Judge Heather Perkins-McVey denied the Crown’s application seeking to forfeit Barber’s truck.
She ruled that the court is already “satisfied” with Barber’s sentence and taking away his very livelihood would be “disproportionate.”
“This truck is my livelihood,” said Barber in a press release sent to LifeSiteNews.
“Trying to permanently seize it for peacefully protesting was wrong, and I’m relieved the court refused to allow that to happen,” he added.
Criminal defense lawyer Marwa Racha Younes was welcoming of the ruling as well, stating, “We find it was the right decision in the circumstances and are happy with the outcome.”
John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), said the decision is “good news for all Canadians who cherish their Charter freedom to assemble peacefully.”

“Asset forfeiture is an extraordinary power, and it must not be used to punish Canadians for participating in peaceful protest,” he added in the press release.
As reported recently by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian government claimed that Barber’s truck is an “offence-related property” relating to his involvement in the 2022 protests against Canada’s COVID mandates.
At this time, the court ruling ends any forfeiture proceedings for the time being, however Barber will continue to try and appeal his criminal conviction and house arrest sentence.
Barber’s truck, a 2004 Kenworth long-haul he uses for business, was a focal point in the 2022 protests. He drove it to Ottawa, where it was parked for an extended period of time, but he complied when officials asked him to move it.
On October 7, 2025, after a long trial, Ontario Court Justice Perkins-McVey sentenced Barber and Tamara Lich, the other Freedom Convoy leader, to 18 months’ house arrest. They had been declared guilty of mischief for their roles as leaders of the 2022 protest against COVID mandates, and as social media influencers.
Lich and Barber have filed appeals of their own against their house arrest sentences, arguing that the trial judge did not correctly apply the law on their mischief charges.
Government lawyers for the Crown have filed an appeal of the acquittals of Lich and Barber on intimidation charges.
The pair’s convictions came after a nearly two-year trial despite the nonviolent nature of the popular movement.

Protestor Evan Blackman’s legal team argues Trudeau’s Emergencies Act-based bank account freezes were punitive state action tied directly to protest participation.
A Freedom Convoy protester whose bank accounts were frozen by the Canadian government says a judge erred after his ruling did not consider the fact that the funds were frozen under the Emergencies Act, as grounds for a stay of proceedings.
In a press release sent out earlier this week, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said that Freedom Convoy protestor Evan Blackman will challenge a court ruling in his criminal case via an appeal with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
“This case raises serious questions about how peaceful protest is treated in Canada and about the lasting consequences of the federal government’s unlawful use of the Emergencies Act,” noted constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury. “The freezing of protestors’ bank accounts was part of a coordinated effort to suppress dissent, and courts ought to be willing to scrutinize that conduct.”
Blackman was arrested on February 18, 2022, during the police crackdown on Freedom Convoy protests against COVID restrictions, which was authorized by the Emergencies Act (EA). The EA was put in place by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, which claimed the protests were violent, despite no evidence that this was the case.
Blackman’s three bank accounts with TD Bank were frozen due to his participation in the Freedom Convoy, following a directive ordered by Trudeau.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, in November of this year, Blackman was convicted at his retrial even though he had been acquitted at his original trial. In 2023, Blackman’s “mischief” and “obstructing police” charges were dismissed by a judge due to lack of evidence and the “poor memory of a cop regarding key details of the alleged criminal offences.”
His retrial resulted in Blackman getting a conditional discharge along with 12 months’ probation and 122 hours of community service, along with a $200 victim fine surcharge.
After this, Blackman’s application for a stay of proceedings was dismissed by the court. He had hoped to have his stay of proceedings, under section 24(1) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, allowed. However, the judge ruled that the freezing of his bank accounts was legally not related to his arrest, and because of this, the stay of proceedings lacked standing.
The JCCF disagreed with this ruling, noting, it “stands in contrast to a Federal Court decision finding that the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and violated Canadians’ Charter rights, including those targeted by the financial measures used against Freedom Convoy protestors.”
As of press time, a hearing date has not been scheduled.
In 2024, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that Trudeau was “not justified” in invoking the Emergencies Act.
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, Trudeau’s federal government enacted the EA in mid-February.
After the protesters were cleared out, which was achieved through the freezing of bank accounts of those involved without a court order as well as the physical removal and arrest of demonstrators, Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23, 2022.
