The best way I can describe it based on what my father in law says is that it's completely relaxed. The majority don't have any issues with the passports, masks are still in place and the government is not really facing any criticism that opposes their tyranny. Most of them are supportive and demand more "action".
He is from a rural area outside of the capital of the country, Ottawa.
They had a protest a week ago at the capital but nothing since. No major or frankly minor push back.
This is exactly what I expected and posted about during their election night.
I feel bad for Canadian patriots. I don't think there is any hope for them.
I'm from Ontario. On the surface, your FIL is correct. But as Stray502 stated, there is still a lot of resistance. Most people know I'm not vaxxed but I don't hear much about it anymore. I've lost a number of friends over this but it's a 'culling of the herd' as far as I'm concerned. The MSM is SLOWLY providing some news about the resistance although much of it is still negative. I've convinced my sister not to take any boosters so that's a start. Like the rest of the world, we're preparing for some tough times before the plan is enacted.
I'm fascinated as to why Canada and Australia are so supportive of the tyranny and if not supportive, quiet about it.
I correlated it with the fact that you are part of the Commonwealth but the English have put up massive resistance and are now scrapping covidpass.
India is Commonwealth as well but they are going ivermectin and for the most part, ran off UN nonsense.
Canada especially is showing incredible docility.
Regarding Canada and being passive - we are very tolerant and polite - we do not want to offend. Majority of people are either frightened to death of Covid or if not, going along out of respect for those that are frightened. Who wants to be labelled a covo idiot or a gramma killer. Everyone (almost) I know truly believes that taking the vaccine is “doing the right thing for the community” and vaccine passports will prevent spread and another lockdown. There is zero discussion regarding the matter - atleast that is what I find. It does vary by age group, but many liberal parents influence their kids. The only way this ends Is if there is “proof” that the vaccine has an alternative agenda and is not safe IMO.
It also seems that way to me regarding your situation. There are places in the US which are very similar in thinking. Oregen, NY City (not to the Canadian extent), Vermont etc. The only difference is that I find even "conservatives" in Canada, are generally liberal in their thought process. I think it's just a cultural thing.
The danger with being too polite or scared of the sheep getting offended is exactly this situation. No one speaks out cause the hive mind will stare at you lol
