This is the result of the 'Vaccine Passport' system.

It's very different if you or I express an opinion versus a statement made by a registered political candidate.

ahh okay, so the cpc and libs are allowed to call my house my cellphone and post ads on tv but this man isnt allowed to post on a outdoors forum about the very issue you guys are arguing about?

say no more


When June 2022 comes around and the Ontario Election - There will one party for sure that will REMOVE all restrictions, passport and illegal restrictions.
- The Ontario Libertarian Party

Very different rules apply to a statement made by an anonymous private citizen and the same statement made by an official candidate of a registered political party. Because it provides the platform for the candidate OOD may be held to account should a complaint be lodged with Elections Ontario.

Wait, are you saying that someone cannot voice their opinion on who they want to see or think will win an election? So are you saying if I were to have a Turdeau Sucks sign on my front yard, I should probably burn it too?

You aren't an official candidate for a registered party using someone else's media platform for political advertising so you should be good to go.

Organic content on social media platforms—content that the poster (i.e. an individual or organization) does not pay the platform to publish or distribute—is subject to relatively few regulations in Canada.

The Elections Modernization Act (Bill C-76) received royal assent in December, bringing into law new spending limits and rules for transparency. But it doesn’t go far enough to control election advertising in the age of the Internet and social media.

Gaps remain, allowing political entities to share and/or pay to promote content in ways that can circumvent the legal definition of election advertising in problematic ways. Our new so-called modern elections laws likely won’t be able to keep up.
During elections, candidates – like all Canadians – can use personal social media profiles to present personal opinions. But for a candidate, these profiles also become vehicles for self-promotion. And in other circumstances, promotion outside of formal paid advertising is not allowed. For example, under the CRTC rules, which are geared to broadcasters, on-air personalities who become candidates must go off the air for the duration of their election campaign. With increased social media use during campaigns, there has been a blurring of the boundary between what is considered sharing an opinion within your own network and what is considered broadcasting to the public.

Recent events show an unclear distinction between personal and political social media accounts for politicians. Take the example of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who was challenged last year for blocking some members of the public on his personal Twitter account. These citizens argued that his action violated their Charter rights. Watson eventually concluded that his account is public, and he unblocked the people in question. The conflict demonstrates the increasing role that candidates’ social media profiles play as both personal and political platforms.

It is problematic, then, that the new act doesn’t clarify whether self-promotion via social media is still considered simple personal opinion during campaigns and blackout periods.

And just like that they all woke up with covid the next morning passports in hand.

Federal vs. provincial. The candidate in question is running provincially.

Can you provide a link to the article please.

It was interesting I was reading about what someone was saying about the Manitoba Vaccination Passport which they said require quite a few steps to bring up on their electronic device, and then they mention it took a number of weeks to get the hard copy mailed to them.
At that point I made a reply to the comment asking whether the card had their photo on it, or if it could be pass on to anyone who might want to borrow it. When I hit the send, my question evaporated, in it's place the censor's comment it was under review. What is the point of a COVID vaccination card, if it doesn't have your photo?

I saw in passing you needed to carry a photo ID card, as well and the vaccine passport, as well as your smart phone for the QR code, the negative Covid test AND the original paperwork for back up.

I understand the plan will be easier when they implant a 'chip' in your forearm and then just scan your forearm for all the pertinent info so you can go in and watch the movie before the Comming Attractions have finished running, HaHa.
