00:00:00.000 what's going on with those people in canada who are saying desperately urgently we must get a
00:00:10.220 vaccine passport in place right here right now what's motivating them and what do they think
00:00:16.460 that this is going to accomplish very bizarre positions and passions that people are putting
00:00:22.820 into this issue they want a federal vaccine passport no it doesn't look like you're going
00:00:26.760 to get it they want a provincial passport they want it province-wide well you got some premieres like
00:00:31.880 Doug Ford saying uh-uh we're not doing that in Ontario okay well we want a municipal vaccine
00:00:36.740 passport unclear if you're going to get that okay well we want it at certain establishments we want
00:00:41.320 business owners to step in and say we will not serve the unvaccinated you gotta show your passport
00:00:46.880 and they got a few takers we are hearing from some places that they're planning to introduce those
00:00:52.040 rules all right those folks up there those COVID busybodies who are who are really really angling
00:00:57.420 for this passport they are applauding uh those establishments that are bringing the passport and
00:01:02.000 they're trying to name and shame and attack the places that are not like Good Life Fitness I spoke
00:01:06.920 about that in my last video by the way I actually went to a Good Life Fitness location in Toronto the
00:01:11.920 day they opened and things were fine people went there they worked out everyone seemed happy and there
00:01:17.240 you go not a big problem not a situation what's motivating those people who are so desperately
00:01:24.120 clamoring for this though right now I mean what is the urgency COVID cases crashing all across Canada
00:01:30.620 the numbers thankfully very low seems like things are going down because well it's the summer and we
00:01:35.820 anticipated they would as well and also you got a whole lot of people who have the vaccines and
00:01:40.240 well let's embrace the fact that they seem to be working pretty well Canada has a very high vaccine
00:01:45.780 uptake so it's very odd that you would say this country this country needs vaccine passports because
00:01:52.700 what I mean odds are you go to a place most of the people are going to be vaccinated because as the
00:01:58.540 numbers show most of the people are vaccinated anyway why this obsession with other people's
00:02:05.060 vaccination status or the obsession with trying to exclude them it's very odd it's very troubling I think
00:02:12.180 because one of the things that's going on and I think what is maybe motivating people here is for
00:02:16.600 the past year and a half people who who have long kind of harbored to obsess over everyone else's
00:02:23.620 comings and goings and being able to tell them how to live their lives and where you can go and what
00:02:28.100 you can and can't do and so forth I think this year and a half has actually been great for them at least
00:02:34.220 in that respect I think most people would say lockdown restrictions this past year and a half man
00:02:38.920 life has been bad it's ranged from you know inconvenient to some people to hell on earth
00:02:43.640 for others but those people who have enjoyed doing that thing where they're calling the cops
00:02:48.980 the fact their neighbors had someone over I mean good grief they've had a field day haven't they and I
00:02:54.080 think the vaccine passport is just an extension of that I think most people have been pretty reasonable
00:02:58.780 with the COVID rules the the rules that they've agreed with I mean they followed them and then if
00:03:03.480 they've seen other people not following them they're not actually calling the cops on them they're not doing
00:03:08.200 that thing where you follow them with your cell phone and you take take videos of them and yell
00:03:12.340 names at them and so forth they've just been like okay that person's not following the rules I choose
00:03:16.540 to follow the rules all right whatever and they give that person their space but there is that section of
00:03:22.200 individuals who have relished in the fact this is my opportunity to go mall cop on all my neighbors and
00:03:29.620 my community and so forth they have really enjoyed that they're looking out the windows and they're saying
00:03:33.540 there's teenagers walking around in a group outside I'm angry and I'm gonna tweet about how angry I am
00:03:40.420 for this well I think the vaccine passport it's kind of the last hurrah for that it's your last
00:03:46.100 opportunity to be able to sort of enforce certain conduct and rules on people and to decide who you
00:03:52.160 include and who you exclude and so forth even if it necessarily not necessarily is something that has
00:03:58.040 much of a benefit that there's really not much to it right now which I think when you look at the
00:04:02.600 various numbers and vaccine uptake and so forth I think that's the case in Canada right now and yet
00:04:07.240 that's not going to stop a whole lot of people from I think getting a kick out of desperately
00:04:11.840 urgently calling for these vaccine passports that well in a lot of respects it seems like
00:04:17.120 they're not going to happen they ain't going to fly sorry folks
