As Quebec's 'Unvaxxed Fee' Leads To An Increase In First-Dose Appointments, Canada Claims Vaccine Requirements Are Effective

The province of Quebec's health minister said Wednesday that first-time appointments surged in the hours after the announcement, one day after the ministry declared it would financially penalize residents who remain unvaccinated.

"It's reassuring!" Christian Dube, Quebec's health minister, tweeted that Tuesday's first-dose appointments were the highest in several days.

The fee for people who have not been vaccinated would not apply to those who have a medical exemption, and no figures have been released, but officials have said the amount will be "substantial."

While nearly 90% of eligible Quebecers have gotten at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, the unvaccinated remain a burden on the province's public health system, according to the Quebec government.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a Covid-19 conference on Wednesday that he couldn't comment on whether Quebec's financial penalty for the unvaccinated was a smart policy because he needed more information.

Trudeau emphasized that Canada has strong immunization requirements in place for airline and train passengers, federal employees, and federally regulated enterprises.

"And for those who continue to delay or refuse to get vaccinated, they are losing privileges to do certain activities, such as board a train or a plane, travel internationally, or advance in a public-sector job."

 At a news conference on Wednesday, Trudeau acknowledged that the best way to incentivise the unvaccinated is still up for dispute.

Ways to keep your man from cheating

There is no foolproof way to keep a person from cheating on you, but there are ways you can try to prevent cheating. Threats don’t work and will only create a hostile relationship which makes us prone to checking out other options. Instead, remain positive and focus strictly on making your current relationship even better than it already is. Build the relationship to the point where cheating not only looks like a bad idea, but it would be the worst choice he could ever make. There are some men who are prone to cheating. They cheated on previous girlfriends and talk about it rather openly. They blame the ex-girlfriends for their own actions. There is no helping these guys and they will probably continue cheating for the rest of their lives. The average good guy, however, doesn’t go into a relationship wanting to cheat. In fact, he wants a great relationship just as much as you do. So, put away the negative head games and get the relationship moving in a great d...

  There’s a strange feeling that comes with checking your bank account a few days after payday. You were sure you’d be more careful this month. You promised yourself you wouldn’t spend on unnecessary things. Maybe you even wrote a budget somewhere in your notes app. But somehow, the money disappeared again. Not in one dramatic moment. Not because of a luxury vacation or expensive shopping spree.

And suddenly, you’re back to counting days until the next alert enters your account. For many people, saving money feels impossible.
