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.

There were minor mandates for a brief period of time, some places had more, some had less. It's over now, move on. If you have no issue with a Premier saying that people who couldn't go to chili's for a beer for a couple months because of a choice they made are more discriminated against than any other group you're telling on yourself. Stop with the mental gymnastics to justify an absolutely ridiculous ignorant comment that can't be defended. Sometimes your favourite politician is just wrong, be an adult and accept it.
"I think if we can all be respectful and understanding of both sides it can go a long ways." - Do you think you're being respectful and understanding? Your revisionist history and little passive aggressive comments aren't respectful or understanding.
It was common knowledge to stay home when showing any symptoms regardless. - Except many on the unvaxxed side didn't believe in this at all, because it's all a hoax and we were being lied to.. Remember? My 70 year old father literally had to quit his job because people kept showing up to work sick. He had no choice, both he and my mother have heart conditions. But yes, tell me how oppressed the unvaxxed were.
"Unfortunately that proved not to be true" - I don't believe this is correct. We were all told from the start that you would still be able to get covid, but that it would very likely reduce transmission, and it did, and STILL does. It wanes faster now so it's not particularly useful for preventing transmission at this point. It did work well during the first few waves. Stop revising history if you want to have an honest discussion.
"most are accepting of everyone now that politicians and media aren’t telling you to be intolerant of others." - Obviously this isn't true since I'm still hearing non stop whining about freedom and oppression.
"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." - They put enormous pressure on our healthcare system, to near collapse. They weren't the only part of that, but they were proportionally the largest covid group. Now we have more mild strains, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE TOLD WOULD HAPPEN. Now all I hear is how it's always been mild, and we were lied to. We weren't. Stop revising history.
