A Conservative MP is speaking up for Canadians across the country who have lost their jobs as a result of the vaccine mandates.
“These are our neighbours, our colleagues, our fellow citizens—many have sacrificed and given so much to build up our country, and many who have served us throughout the worst of this pandemic,” Patzer said.
“Yet now in the blink of an eye, these same individuals that we once praised as heroes are being treated as second-class citizens for a decision that every Canadian should have the freedom to make for themselves.”
Patzer also criticized the federal government for denying these front line workers employment insurance (EI)—which they have long contributed to—if they refuse to comply with the vaccination mandates.
“It’s a disgrace to see how this Liberal government is intent on stripping Canadians of their dignity and sending a rift of division from coast to coast,” he said.
‘Fully Vaccinated’ to Be Redefined?
Patzer’s comments come amid suggestions that authorities may redefine “fully vaccinated” to include a third booster shot in the face of the rapidly spreading Omicron variant.Some indications of this were evident in the comments and publications from federal health agencies in early December, such as the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI).
