Provinces are likely to introduce mandatory vaccination policies in the coming months to deal with the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said today.
"What we see now is that our health care system in Canada is fragile, our people are tired, and the only way that we know to get through COVID-19, this variant and any future variant, is through vaccination," Duclos said.
Alberta’s Legislature removed the power of mandatory vaccination from the Public Health Act last year and will not revisit that decision, period. While we strongly encourage those who are eligible to get vaccinated, it is ultimately a personal choice that individuals must make.

I gave Ford the benefit of the doubt near the beginning on how all this was handled. Then the bold statements of not implementing passports, future dates for reopening, percentage goals for vaccines, etc, etc all started to just be outright lies.
I don't trust anything Ford says anymore.
Dubé added since there is no way to predict if other variants will arise in the coming months, the province is prepared to have the vaccine passport requirements “adjusted” accordingly.
“We’re going to be ready to use this passport over the next year or so,” he said.
The Quebec government also announced on Jan. 6 that Quebecers have to show their proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in order to enter liquor and cannabis stores starting Jan. 18.
Quebec’s vaccine passport is required to access businesses such as bars and restaurants, which have been closed to reduce COVID-19 transmission. Liquor and cannabis stores, however, are still open during the lockdown.

Dubé said he hopes the new rules will push unvaccinated individuals to get the shot and said he only introduced new rules for liquor and pot stores because they are owned and operated by the provincial government. He hinted that the government will also extend the vaccine passport mandate to shopping malls and other “non-essential services.”
“I’m going to be very clear, it’s only a start,” he said.
“This will not be the last two [sectors]. We are in communication in the coming days with all non-essential services, shopping malls, you name it, and we’ll make sure that when they are announced, they have the proper time to put in place the measures,” he added.

As he said, it's up to the provinces. No way Dougie or Kenny will make it mandatory for everyone.
