I am Canadian too. I am lucky to know a few unvaccinated people but most seemed to have gotten it, I can’t say if the 90% number is accurate or not, but I know the media here was really controlling the message. I think when Trudeau et al made it so that you couldn’t get on a plane without it, he really cornered a lot of people into it. I think it was also needed for local buses, definitely was required to get on buses for sports teams, to go into hockey arenas, restaurants etc, if you were a nurse, a teacher, almost all government jobs, to visit someone in the hospital they were checking. And our media here was giving reports of people dying (from (or with...)) covid daily and constantly blaming the unvaccinated (and they had that if you are vaccinated u still r considering unvaxxed for 2 weeks thing -which I m suspect was skewing the actual numbers). So although I m sad more Canadians didn’t resist, the messaging was online, tv, radio, billboards, newspapers even just stuff posted on businesses doors all warning people... I mean this was shockingly similar to psychological warfare👀( multiple times a day, everyday constantly pushing fear), and most Canadians have been socialized to think our government is for the most part decent or reasonably good and not expected to give too much bad advice and that vaccines were probably safe (for most people- or not able to cause too much harm to healthy people) and that doctors would always sort of know the best health options and give fair and balanced information. They trusted the media to provide them with the important information they would need to know. And Trudeau is still saying his smarmy crap about how conservatives are “going down rabbit holes”, (trying to paint a picture of all people who have questioned anything as crazy conspiracy theorists).

I think most Canadians were just not prepared that their own government and media could (allegedly) just lie to them everyday about such a serious thing.Even now it’s so hard to know who (of the vaccinated) is psychologically prepared to even hear the truth, even tiny parts of it slowly coming out are probably causing some cognitive dissonance. Like they are only now maybe starting to hear it was a lab made virus... how many years before they get to the next question and can connect some dots?

And we can’t even share articles on Facebook anymore...

Anyway be relieved that some of us have survived this onslaught.

I wonder if you are back east from all you say. We could still ride busses here on the Wet Coast, and I rode without a mask almost all the time after the beginning bs. Have not watched msm for years, so only had glimpses of that part of the total psy-op. We so have to resist if they try to come down hard again.

I am in BC but have family in all across Canada so I know that not every place was affected in the same way at the same time. (So my comments were not reflective strictly of this province) For a while BC seemed better then most (I recall in Manitoba they had sections of Walmart closed off (before Christmas the one year) and you could only buy essential items like food, I had a friend who couldn’t get a new mattress as they forced those businesses to close and police were harassing people who were having church services outside in the parking lot, in Ontario one of my friends was kept from her dad for two weeks while he was near death because she was unvaxxed and the hospital was giving her a hard time. And I remember in Alberta when the police physically captured ( kinda assaulted🤷‍♀️)a teenager trying to skate on an outdoor rink. But here in BC it wasn’t as extreme for a while we seemed a bit better, although Bonnie Henry has held onto not allowing unvaxxed nurses back to work. So it’s still not right here, sort of normal but not completely, like an unvaxxed person can’t seem to be a care aid for a disabled person here.
