Look beyond just "them" to who they will impact if not "contained". It certainly isn't "fair" but it's understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally just put an extra "0" on to the fine amounts and I think you'd see a big adjustment in behaviour. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is because some people are stupid, and there isn't much that can be done about that, at least on a short term basis. Probably find a whole pile of anti vaccers are on social assistance, thus unable to pay any fines anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guarantee it will have an impact if someone making 40k per year gets a $10,000 fine, a lot of people think with their wallets more than their heads or hearts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKNuck96 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 There will always be differing views on who get what and when. I don’t agree with all off the UK set up but they nipped this argument in the bud early doors. They published their list of the groups and the priorities back in October/November I think I think it was a good idea as we have debated and now accepted and roll out is happening. Leaving it to statements and updating during roll out is just asking for criticism and poor planning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. But what's the point in people getting medically exempt cards from their physicians if they can't be used? I gather from the officer's remarks that such cards are not valid on transit. And, yes, the officer behaved very well when placed in a difficult situation - between a person who believes her medical exemption excuses her from wearing a mask and BC laws that apparently require masks on transit despite such medical exemptions.

I think it's BS. Many people make one up at home too. If you are legitimately exempt then you probably have conditions that require you to stay home or avoid crowded indoor places during a pandemic. They should not be in places where they can either spread or catch the virus. It is a not a pass to pee on everyone else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was so important for her to see her kid, she could have put the mask on to ensure she was able to see her. If she’s so medically vulnerable then why park her car in Richmond? Take the car to wherever it was that she was going and then she wouldn’t have to wear the mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obviously a BS excuse and for some stupid reason, she decided to go full Karen. I'm sure she expected all her yelling and screaming to garner her sympathy, but I'd be willing to bet that anyone within earshot was thinking "what an idiot"..... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
