British Columbia is going to let the Health Authorities to make the call. Both my sons say the restrictions don't affect them too much. They both use the gym, both are working, both are fully vaccinated, both travel when they want to locally, and their only complaint is the high price of everything. Here is interesting news. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-parks-canada-prescription-1.6344141
I believe the DR government will go with the general consensus of what's happening in the USA. They usually do.

Chico.

The trucker blockades have galvanized a segment of the Canadian population to rally against the mandates but the real reason the mandates are dropping is, certain premiers were against them when they were implemented. The premiers of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, are conservative populist premiers who are the first to bail on the requirements. Quebec is not far behind and it has one of the largest Liberal voting populations in Canada, voters Trudeau needs to survive. Trudeau has a minority that could fall anytime.

Quebec will be the straw that breaks the federal governments back. Quebec citizens make up a large portion of Canada’s DR and Mexico tourists and expats. They will be extremely happy when the international travel restrictions are eliminated. Trudeau would have to be politically stupid to not see the handwriting on the wall.

The Windsor Detroit Ambassador bridge isn‘t blocked. It’s one lane only due to the trucker protest. Up to seven hour delays to get across. Truckers need to get though to US and Canadian automobile production plants for just in time parts delivery. If they blocked the bridge, the trucker protest would lose credibility fast.
Praise to the Freedom Loving Canadian truckers for leading the world by fighting their oppressive government.
Who would have thought those "nice" Canadians finally showed their backbone.
Cheers to them and Fudge all oppressive governments - Civil Disobedience works.

Miracle of all miracle Covid cases down 17% in one week. Is this the political cover being provided for liberals to reverse their oppression?
Are we finally getting real Covid numbers and not ones being cooked to show higher infections in order to impose the government line?

Same in my province Bob. Not much change in our lifestyles since Covid. Our vax rates are among the highest in Canada and we have the highest number of children vaccinated in Canada.

Saw three RCMP cruisers at my grocery store yesterday. The price of meat is so high, I thought someone tried to steal a prime rib roast.

Two young men entered the store and refused to wear masks. They were arrested and carted away in the police cruisers.

I really appreciate having a COLA benefit in my main federal pension and my OAP and CPP. Main pension went up 2.5% January 1st. Doesn’t put me ahead of price increases but I’m keeping pace with them.

It wasn’t that long ago Pierre Trudeau declared martial law and brought the military into Montreal during the October crisis. I doubt if his son Justin would go this far. People wanted military intervention against the trucker protests in Ottawa.

Hated the media. Was asked if he read the news. He replied no. I make the news. An arrogant and brilliant man who brought us our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and independence from Britain. He did a pirouette behind the Queen during the signing ceremony. Heady days Bill. So vibrant compared to our politics these days.

Like the previous DR administration, he was too long in power and corruption became commonplace in his government.

His Soy Boy pussy of a son doesn't have that much spine or clout in Canada.
I still can't believe the Canadians didn't vote to oust this douche bag when they had the recall election.
I bet things would be different if it were held again.

Mandates are a waste, but vaccines are not. If you don't want to take it you should not be punished. However your punishment may well come later.........................

Of course all the vaxx-crazed have to believe that the non vaxxed will perish. Otherwise, they would suffer horrific embarrassment/defeat that they jabbed themselves full of an experimental, poorly tested genetic vaccine that turned out to rip through the human cardio-vascular system, like Sherman's march to the sea.

How many more people do you think will be fully vaccinated in the DR which is at 53.2% The US which is at 63.9% ? Even Canada which is at 80%?
I doubt many more people will be taking action in the DR as the mandates start to disappear. Remember that fully vaccinated goal of 70% in the DR?
Where is that now? Gone forever, that is where it is...

Fully vaxed, as we now understand, no longer works with even those numbers because of the rapid drop in efficacy of all vaccines.
If you were "fully vaxed" 6 months ago, you probably have little resistance left to infection.

Note: All the bad mouthing of my birth country by the do gooders and more are a fully vaccinated than in the DR.

Personally it makes NO difference to me how many people are vaccinated. I go by math that comes from hospitals around the World. It tells me that unvaccinated are somewhere dying at about 15 TIMES the Vaxed. That is good enough reason for me to take the vaccine. PERIOD...............I could care less who takes it or not takes it.....................

Lol 53%. I guess that's why everyone has a fake vaxx card
By the way where does this 53% come from anyway. I would like to see a link on that one please...............Is it 2 shots or 3 shots. It gets thrown out there with no basis. I am from Missouri................

IMO, 25% would be a miracle. And that's true jab, x2, x3...? Let's also remember we have a bunch of Dominicans reading these cards, recording a number in a book. How many manual transcriptions must be made, then some genius has to digitize that to get to somewhere the number is published for public consumption. What are the odds
