Most are on board with sharing vaccination data with Ottawa for creation of the travel pass, but only Manitoba, Quebec and PEI have created a domestic version

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Most provinces have committed to co-operating on Canada’s creation of a vaccine passport for international travellers, but health officials currently have no plans to utilize the document domestically.

Alberta press secretary Jerrica Goodwin said the province is open to collaborating with Canada to create a travel pass and sharing vaccination data for residents who apply. However, Ms. Goodwin said Alberta won’t support the use of the international travel credential for uses within provincial borders. Premier Jason Kenney has repeatedly rejected the idea of reserving some activities to immunized residents.

“If the federal government decides to do this, we’re all for it,” he said. “It just makes things easier for our staff. We can bring people inside again and not have to worry about whether or not they are vaccinated if they just show proof with a card, that solves a lot.”Alex Hilkene, a spokesperson for Ontario Minister of Health Christine Elliott, said the province has been collaborating with the federal government on the travel pass.

B.C. reported 513 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday. Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry said the passports are important to help slow the spread. “Anything that encourages people to be immunized,” she said.

They can stick their passport up their ass ....

Why are they calling them “passports “instead of records of immunization why are we in this hell timeline

We dont need passports. The govt will abuse these by adding things to them every year. 2x boosters, oral pills, other meds etc for what? In order to 'be free and live in society' ? Is that really free? Im double jabbed but say NO TO PASSPORTS

All my inlaws in not-a-hotbed-of-wokeness northwestern Ontario said on our recent visit they were 100 per cent for vaccine passports. They are pissed at the slackers.
