First post so forgive me if I screw it up. I'm a Canadian living in Ontario. Our provincial government just laid out the guidelines for re-opening. Three stages, that are all dependent on how many people are vaccinated. It's pretty obvious to me what's going to happen next. Either not enough people get vaccinated to meet the criteria or there's a manufactured 4th/5th/6th wave of the virus. Either way, the government has set it up so that whatever happens, the un-vaccinated will take the blame. I'm sure vaccine passports and severe restrictions on un-vaccinated people will follow. I'm mentally and physically preparing for a time when I may not be able to legally leave my house or get access to services. I live in a VERY liberal area. Other than my partner and I, I only know of one other person that hasn't been vaccinated (due to cancer treatment). Does anyone have any advice (from a legal or support perspective) on how to get through this? Canadians are generally a very compliant people and are unaware of the fascist techniques being used on them. Not only do they support the government, they thank them for keeping them safe. I can envision a time where my neighbours, family and friends may become verbally and physically hostile because we're standing in the way of them getting back their freedoms. I trust the plan but it's taking a lot longer than I thought. Sorry for the long post but it feels good to actually type it out. I appreciate any advice you can give.

Canadian as well, though further east than you. Really being crushed by the extra lockdowns as well. They came out of nowhere, with virtually no cases, and still- they keep getting extended and adding on extra rules.
It really makes me scared because it does seem like the vax will be forced. They're not trying to hide it anymore, just like how they're becoming shameless with these lockdowns even in rural places with 0 population density. Just scared where this will end up- especially if they force the vax.
I'm not sure if they will force us to take the vaccine (by law) but they will blackmail and coerce us to take it. To me, it's obvious that they're going to use our friends, families and neighbours to shame us into taking the vaccine. Instead of blaming the government, we will be blamed for withholding everyone's freedoms because of our "selfish actions". I also think they'll make it very difficult for the un-vaccinated to live their lives without major restrictions. I'm trying to work out alternatives based on different scenarios while we have a little time. Hope for the best and plan for the worst. Good luck.
My only hope is that because our government is so incompetent I can’t see them being able to compete my roll out the vaccine passports. That may save us in the end because they will likely screw that up like they did with everything else.
Who would have thought that we'd be thankful for the government being so incompetent!
