Quebec Premier François Legault said Tuesday the province would be demanding a significant "health contribution" from Quebecers who refuse to get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in the coming weeks.
Unvaccinated Quebecers without medical exemptions will have to pay if they don't get 1st dose soonQuebec Premier François Legault said it's time for unvaccinated Quebecers to pay, as hospitals become overwhelmed.
Does nobody realize that 50% of the people in ICU are vaxed and 50% of them are unvaxed... so the 50% that got the jab somehow arent still burdening the health system just because they jabbed? Last time I checked, they still went to the hospital so the tax makes no sense.
What would actually be more useful than this nonsense? All government bureaucrats taking a *30% pay cut*, then using this money saved to shore up our crumbling health system and health workers, instead of mindlessly blaming 'the unvaccinated'. Legault gets a 50% paycut!
Block them from entering a hospital too!
Tyranta
I hope everyone refuses to pay. This should end up in the Supreme Court; it's blatant discrimination.
Honestly they should bump this up to the national level and legislate it for the entire country
Quebec in France, fascist
It makes sense. A small percentage, they are holding the majority of Canadians hostage. They don’t hesitate to take up the biggest majority of hospital beds when they get Covid! Suddenly they believe in medicine. Destroying our hospital system with their foolishness!
You better be in support of taxing the obese, smokers and drinkers when they come down with organ failures due to their poor health choices. 🤡
In 1940 there were 2 Fascist world leaders. In 2021 there are many and even more at the Provincial or state level. Whats the difference between Hitler persecuting the German Minority and Legault persecuting the Canadian minority? Legault doesnt speak German.
People drinking, smoking, and eating crap has never forced the closures of business as contracting COVID has… taxtheunvaxxed isupportaxtheunvaxxed finetheunvaxxed openontario fordnation
For all of you who think this is a good idea wake the blank up!
Do like in China. Impose.

Great idea of imposing a 'Non User fee' for those who refuse to be fully vaccinated but expect the Health Care system to treat them when they come down with the same virus that they thumb their nose at!
Any what about the vaccinated that are in hospitals taking up space do they pay to the only ones that should not pay ate the ones that don't get sick
Flat out coercion.
Health contribution payments? Well…do we get a refund from the last 2 years for enforcing a mediocre, dollar store product that’s been sold by that trusted Amazon seller, only to realize that batteries are not included and all accessories sold separately. Which don’t fit 😐
This is one more step to where we don't want to be. It's time to protest
Good idea!!! Money makes the monkey dance :-)
Irony of ironies. They can cross reference tax returns with ramq but have yet to use ramq data to help predict which patients should be prioritized for early community treatment.
What about addicts? They knowingly ingest dangerous substances and cost tax payers lots.
Especially with all the con crap in especially Alberta Saskatchewan and Ontario amongst others, it’s always good to see that at least some provinces are at least doing the most bare minimum of things to at least try to combat the pandemic.
Et pourquois pas? If smokers were filling up hospital beds the way unvaccinated covid patients are... Right now, I personally know 3 people who've had their cancer surgeries postponed because there might not be an ICU bed for them if they need one. CANCER.
So the vaccine passport system is a tracking system for other nefarious acts the government may want to impose. So an extension would be ‘ if pepile don’t don’t use the health care system we should reimburse their taxes on a grading system percentage of use annually’ ludicrous
No wonder everyone hates the French
What a fucking joke.
COVID1984 USRC
A tax on Poutines and Joe Louis’s is also in the works
Tax me harder daddy.
There is no chance that this will stand up to a court challenge.
OH YA BABY!!! Born leader this guy is. Way to go Quebec 🎵🎉 💃 🎈
This makes sense. Force people to internalize their negative externality on the economy. Shitty choices bear shitty consequences.
Wait so is he for or against a public healthcare system?
I believe, The UnVaxed Should Have Some Sort of Indebtedness, in lieu of the Burden They have Created in Hospitals, Across the Country! It has gotten SO DIRE, Cancellations Have Occurred 4 Ppl who R seeking Surgeries, that R Non COVID related?! How IS THAT RIGHT?
Good for him! A politician with guts. Its like a fine for driving a car without a license. Same principle…endangering others..
Good news.
Satan’s modus operandi is based on deception with misrepresentations. The biggest strategy with which he enforces this agenda is misinformation through the news media. As a Christian, you shouldn’t be ignorant of this. Ephesians 5:6 says, “Let no man deceive you with vain
🇨🇦 s getting autocratic. Have my all 3 shots but this sounds not ok to me. Sorry!
Is this tax applied also to smokers and obese individuals? How about those who are D3 deficient? If this is truly about preventing hospitalization surely this would be included. Not to mention, these are the people most at risk for adverse outcome from SARS-CoV-2.
WeAreChangeNYC This is madness
Plz just lift your g-dam stupid, ineffective and controlling curfew. Need to learn to live with covid. Invest in health system and l-t care facilities. Show us some strategy and take your fkn finger off the on/off button of our everyday lives
this is absurd
Poor excuse for a leader , we outta know , karma will find you
francoislegault When will you introduce the dumbass influencer tax? That or the Dumbass party organizer tax also known as the 'Awad tax'? That's what Quebec really needs
francoislegault So is this a tax on people who use the system, or everyone who is unvaccinated? I don't see why people who don't go to hospital for covid symptoms would have to pay a tax on something they didn't use.
This isn’t going to be popular and isn’t fair to those who don’t get sick. Isn’t a better strategy to charge a bed fee if an unvaccinated person occupies one? Unvaccinated ppl already assume there’s no risk so I’m sure will be more on board with assuming said risk
All this fuckery from Stephen. Harper, who controls Quebec a sub-nation in Canada. The Quebec election was rigged by Stephen Harper and it will be rigged again in the upcoming Quebec Provincial election. Harper & Associates running all operations in Canada
Clown Prince of quebec Tru-dope fully agrees the liberal party cbc media mouthpieces agree Covids all about politics ... no fabricated crisis wasted omg ... please just seperate quebec
Yikes! I support vaccines but this goes a little far. Once you set this precident, at what point does it end? GetVaccinated
Good. They're imposing a higher stress on our healthcare system by being a higher rate of % of ICU cases. Let em pay for it.
It’s so said people are calling people names like fat slobs, alcoholic, lazy etc, sounds so harsh, no ones perfect, we are so devided now, so much hate in the world. It’s like a pandemic of hate.
We already do “contribute”. It’s called taxes.
Now that’s leadership, that’s how one ends pandemic! FYI: jkenney erinotoole fordnation PremierScottMoe ….
It's time for 'canadians' learn that they aren't free and are property of the state. freeman
What’s that “health contribution” Are then gonna take our organs?
This is a violation of the Charter of Rights—penalizing people for a medical decision. Medical coercion is incompatible with life in a free and democratic society. We cannot t allow any government to create a two-tier system of citizenship! BoycottQuebec
BTW some travel insurance providers will NOT COVER YOU FOR COVID CARE outside of Canada! Precedent.
Can the rest of Canada have a referendum on Quebec to vote them out?
Let’s Go Quebec! These unhinged lunatics will take up all the healthcare capacity but wont take a darn needle. Wait till you or a loved one cannot get an ambulance or have lufe saving surgery or treatment. It will happen soon.
Making sense, yes if you have your right not to get vaccinated you should pay to get treated if you find yourself in the hospital.
If someone in Quebec agrees to get fully vaccinated in avoidance of fines and contracts Covid-19 like many do; Should they then be permitted to seek compensation from the Quebec government? cdnpoli cdnpol
Can we fire Quebec? Maybe disown them & pull out all of our funding and resources? Maybe sell them to the highest bidder?
Quebec turning into a Dystopian Nightmare in real time. Arruda resigned, as should any other Minister with a modicum of Decency including LegaultMustGo
Slippery slope. I don't support this at all and I'm pro vaccination.
It's sad to see the number of people on here who support this fascism.
Why not bill Pfizer for hospital treatment of all the vaxxed in hospitals. 2 teir health care. Lets blame the patient.
Legault trumps his vacillating incompetence with more legally questionable authoritarianism. Look, I want everybody to get vaccinated, and be safe, but I'd also like to see the QC government take more intelligent decisions instead of imposing reactionary measures.
Don’t be mistaken: we are about 4-6 months from mandatory vaccination. You know, the kind where they actually call it “mandatory”
Every unvaccinated person is a reflection of the failure of public health to build trust and understanding in the community. Coercion, mockery or bureaucratic tricks will never cover this fact up. nationalpost guardian
Love it
Cost recovery. Nothing personal.
The people with money will say no problem. The poor well sorry about your luck 🥵
Most of the Government Officials with authority don't care about others truthfully. They only use stupidity taught from this world & they don't want anything to do with God for they kicked Jesus/God out of all Schools, Colleges, & Universities. But if dying like this, no heaven.
The healthcare system has been neglected for DECADES because gov't refuses to clamp down on tax evasion by the wealthy, and resufing to make the super rich & corporations PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. ...and now ordinary people are punished for that? Disgusting.
They just have to make sure that everyone is safe to take the Vaccines too because there's definitely some people who can't take them like my niece who has lost her $ 82,000.00 job as a School Principal in Yarmouth, NS. They could've fixed her Office like the Government's have.😪
fordnation celliottability globeandmail CTVToronto Legault…The vax’d pt lying next to unvax pt. One is penalized & one not. Explain the fairness? Should we hit the lung cancer pts the same? Smokers vs no smokers? Cirrhosis pts drinkers vs no drinkersGive your head a shake.
Hmmm, what other problems should a health contribution be made for? People who smoke, drink or are addicted to drugs? Unhealthy eaters? People who don’t exercise? Come on, man, this is ludicrous. Vaccines only reduce symptoms; they do not stop transmission.
Do obese people next .cha ching .then smokers and wine aholics
Wait... aren’t we 90% vaccinated? So he wants to deny health care to 5 year olds? Weird
Conservative premier. NeverVoteConservative Quebec GetVaccinated
Don’t be surprised when people take it to the streets to protest this outrageous human rights violation. I am double vaxxed but this is just so pointless and not at all constructive.
Youre going to tax people for not taking an injection of something that doesn't work well, has low efficacy, doesn't stop transmission, and has side effects ? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 If this is about health, start taxing the morbidly obese a 'health contribution'
It is pointless to attempt to comment on this, considering the ignorance on display in the anti-vaxxer tweets. I have simply used the time to report all the misleading Covid posts in this thread which should lead to a number of people losing their accounts down the road.
You go buddy get em 💪
$$?
Then charge for the overweight people, too. Only fair,right? Looks like he'd have to pony up.
It’s about time we started holding anti-vaxxers accountable for prolonging this pandemic for everyone. They NEED to be treated like the dangerous pariahs they are. Until we can make the jab mandatory this is a good start
Too costly to implement and collect. The unvaccinated should simply be denied all public services while we proceed with forced vaccinations, rodeo style.
Haha little protection 'if any' this is genocide agenda 2030 in full swing.
There’s more vaxxed in the hospital than unvaxxed. How does this make any sense? I know I won’t be paying fuck all. Try to collect…
Someone in Quebec needs to take one for the team.
Excellent.
We should charge every obese person double of triple the fee as that is the number one factor in hospitalization... what a joke this country has become
In the past 6 months, the unvaccinated have overburdened health care in Canada to the tune of 100s of millions of $$ It's not like taxing unhealthy behaviour is new, either: cigarettes and alcohol are both taxed significantly Refundable tax credits could also be a good option
A lot of people are going to be looking for a job after the next election and I hope they do not find one. They should be put on a no job list.
Finally! Tax the MF’s.
👏👏👏
Vous avez réellement perdu la boussole. Pourquoi vous insister que tous les Quebecois doivent etres vaccinee? La taxe que vous voulez imposer n'a pas de connection avec le vaccin.
Why? Zero reason for mandating this now in light of the fact that it does nothing for transmission. And what I'd they had already had it as tons of us have at this point?!?
I live in Ontario and have two doses, but this is just unbelievable. You pick people you want to tax? What kind of precedence is this for the future, is this still a free country where you make your choice about your body? Is this even legal? I'm stunned.
An outflow of Quebecers to other parts of Canada will help those provinces. Quebec will be damaged. Trudeau will probably give them more equalization paid for by Alberta as compensation. cdnpoli
Fire him! francoislegault
Sounds good to me. Charge them $500 per month for their OHIP coverage - it's only fair that they pay more for it than vaccinated people. Just like the huge taxes on tobacco and liquor! cc. fordnation
They already pay taxes. What happened to freedom of conscience
What about obese, smokers , drug users and drinkers?..who voted for this guy?
Why? the vaccine doesn't work and they know it.
Leaving aside the lack of logic (obesity tax? smokers tax? myocarditis tax for people who *are* vaccinated?) this is why socialised healthcare is a very slippery slope.
Good luck with that, I hope you can make it stick !
This is awesome! Why should 10% of the population hold our HC systems hostage without recourse.
Covid-19 shots do not prevent infection or transmission and natural immunity is effective. Recent research from Israel where the Pfizer vaccine was exclusively used, demonstrated that natural immunity is 7 x more effective at preventing cases and infections
Will there be a health tax of obese people who eat at McDonald's and pound cans of coke ? And natural immunity? Surely that must get worked into this equation ?
COVID-19 vaccines profits in 2021 Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, AstraZeneca
very democratic and competent measures !🤣🤣🤣 quebec is a farse!
Fat people too, right?
So the governments lied this whole time about Covid in hospitals. What’s Quebec’s number.
Good luck EVER getting rid of this, Quebec. When your passport says that you need your [INSERT INDEFINITE SHIFTING GOALPOST AMOUNT] shot and you don't feel that it's necessary...too bad. You will pay extra into your healthcare system.
Make it $500
