Right, requiring vaccination is much less restrictive than closing the border. It would be insane if provinces could close the border but couldn’t require vaccination. Mobility rights don’t (or at least shouldn’t) mean we can go wherever we want whenever we want without having to follow any rules at all.
At this point it’s not even really a restriction at all — it’s just something you have to do. Nobody (well, almost nobody, and we wouldn’t listen) would complain about having to have a driver’s license to drive across a provincial border.
To be fair, I do not need a drivers license to cross a provincial border. I only need it to DRIVE across. Plenty of folks walk or bike across the border, I've done so, and of course, thousands more transit across the border....I've done that many times.
I don't think that crossing provincial borders is a more fundamental right than any others, I'd like to see us require vaccines for more than just border crossings.
