So Ford is saying there won't be an additional healthcare tax on the unvaxxinated people (as Quebec suggests).
FWIW, As you all know, I think it's a smart policy, economic incentives are an effective way to encourage behaviour we want. We *DO* tax cigarettes and alcohol.
That being said, regardless of how one feels about this policy, it's very revealing that our Conservative government says they won't implement a policy which is inherently conservative. It's anti-socialist, it's pro-personal-responsibility, and it's an economic incentive--for every definition of conservative, this policy fits.
Our parties mean almost nothing anymore.
