Integrity Commissioner Tony Fleming found Coun. Cynthia Guerard breached the corporate policy and the municipal code of conduct by attending two in-person council meetings in May without providing proof of vaccination. The municipality’s policy requires staff to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19.
"The Complaint alleges that the Member did not provide proof of vaccination and was therefore presumed unvaccinated. Nevertheless, she attended the May 3 and 17 Council meetings in person and, when asked to leave chambers on the 17th because she was unvaccinated, simply sat outside of the chambers and joined in remotely."
The Integrity Commissioner says Guerard, through her counsel, raised a number of "procedural objections" to the investigation, including that the municipality had no authority to maintain vaccination requirements, particularly after the Ontario government lifted its requirements, and that Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects personal privacy.
The Integrity Commissioner ruled Guerard breached section 11 of the Code of Conduct by failing to comply with a Council policy that requires all members to be vaccinated, and section 30 by attempting to circumvent established policies.
A vac that you can still get china viris and give the china viris
Awesome - refusing to disclose EEERRRRRR that means you are not vaccinated. Rules are rules - you are not special.
Damn were still doing this kind of stuff
Germany 1933-1938 batshittery comes to mind.
But there's no coercion? Right? They can't take your right to medica privacy away but they can try hard to 'convince' you to give it away. Good on her!
Good for her! Respect
Good for her! We need strong leadership!
Seriously this has to stop!
Hope she sues. Why is everybody so stupid? What difference does it make to anyone if someone risks a shot that doesn't even immunize? It could be life altering for the recipient, and for nothing.
Refusing the vaccine that doesn't work 🤔at least she went to work she should get a raise.
Now just waiting for the 'accountability' and 'consequences' RW types to chime in about how she shouldn't have to deal with the consequences of her actions and how rules only apply when they personally agree with them.
Good!
She should be fired
At least she showed up to work. Unlike those 3-4 times jabbed federal employees refusing to go back to the office. I bet very few accomplish the same task load without having a supervisor around
Should be canned.
This discrimination needs to stop.
Meanwhile... new CDC policy...
This is so sad to witness a duly elected councilor so completely and utterly disrespectful for the municipal policy and more so disrespect Public Health for her community. Shameful, resign.
Good!
The policy itself is the problem. Making new policies without actually proving they will help increase health and safety,or that they will not discriminate based on medical choices is the issue. What happened to medical privacy? Happy she stood for what is right.
Ridiculous
