A major convoy protest planned for Victoria failed to materialize on Monday, but not without NDP Premier John Horgan letting British Columbians know what he thought of people protesting his government’s ongoing COVID restrictions.
“If people want to drive around and honk their horns, then fill your boots,” said Horgan on Friday. “And at $2.00 a litre (for gas) that’s not only bad judgment, that’s stupidity.”
Last week, B.C. became the last province to announce it would relax pandemic restrictions, including dropping masks on Friday and vaccine passports by April 8, the latter going ahead “assuming conditions continue to improve.” Before this, the provisional deadline for the passports had been June 30.
Even so, Dr. Bonnie Henry hinted restrictions were likely to return in the fall.
B.C. also continues to terminate government workers who were forced onto unpaid leave last fall after refusing to comply with vaccine mandates, even as other provinces including Alberta and Nova Scotia are welcoming unvaccinated workers back.
