However I didn’t once hear of anyone being kicked out of a restaurant or sporting event for sneezing, coughing, or blowing their nose inside. This may have made sense if that card proved that you couldn’t get, or pass the virus. Unfortunately that proved not to be true. I get that everyone feels they made the correct choice. I’m very glad that for the most part things are back to normal and most are accepting of everyone now that politicians and media aren’t telling you to be intolerant of others. So far I haven’t heard the premier say that she wants to take anybody’s rights, she wants to make sure everyone always has equal rights as they should. Agree or disagree, but people should not be discriminated against for any reason. As another poster said earlier, most are over it, and once this initial shock wears off, I hope it continues to just be normal, which it will if folks stop fighting for their “right” to discriminate. The vax didn’t stop COVID in its tracks, the non vax didn’t all drop dead or cause everyone around them to drop dead. Both sides are still in society and it would be great if there is never such a divide in our world again where some members of society were put on a pedestal and others were stomped on like sewer rats. I think if we can all be respectful and understanding of both sides it can go a long ways. I personally think that is what the premier is asking for, and if you are too intolerant to do that, then maybe it’s mirror time.

you may think that's what she's asking for, but you're likely thinking wrong.
She's pandering to the anti-science base that's she's a part of, and nothing else.
If her intent was to be respectful and understanding she'd never have said the unvaxxed were the most discriminated people she's seen in her life.
And yes to your comment., I am too intolerant to be respectful and understanding of the freedom convoy, anti vax, ###### trudeau demographic. It wasn't the vaxed that was spewing hateful rhetoric at our healthcare workers and blocking access to hospitals. It wasn't "left wing loonies" causing all the trouble with the convoy situation, amongst the many examples.
Since you brought up rats, I agree that those people are as Freddy Mercury sang about in Death on Two Legs-
"Insane, should be put inside,
you're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride"
Remember the old saying about the right to swing your arm ends where my nose begins? To steal a response from the Dallas Morning News, your side now believes it's your right to swing your arms and do anything else you want, regardless of anyone else.
Sorry dude, liberty has it's responsibilities.
in my shallowly educated way, I'll give the last word to John Stuart Mill.
"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others."
