McDonald's and Tim Horton's will be hiring bouncers

McDonald’s and Timmies will have to hire bouncers

When it comes to vaccine passports, keep in mind is that this idea comes from the same idiots who brought you mask mandates and lockdowns.  If mask mandates worked, why did Ontario have a second and then a third wave?  If lockdowns worked, why were conditions worse after four weeks – two successive quarantine periods – than they were at the beginning of the lockdowns?

Vaccines passports serve two ends: one is to make it look like the government is doing something; two, to make some people feel better.  Passports won’t change the course of a fourth wave any more than masks and lockdowns changed the courses of waves two and three.  By now, those who don’t want the vaccine aren’t going to be persuaded by the coercion of a passport, so passports be around for a long time.

McDonald’s and Tim Horton’s are two of the largest restaurant chains with indoor dining.  McDonald’s is using automation to reduce labour costs.  Is every McDonald’s and Timmies franchise going to have to hire bouncers to check ID and passports?  Seems so.  Who is going to pay for this extra expense?

By-law enforcers are supposed to hand out fines to customers and establishments for being caught passport-less.  Ordinarily, it requires probable cause for police to demand someone who is quietly minding his own business to produce ID and passport.  People have a right against self-incrimination, and so may lawfully refuse to hand over their cell phones for inspection to someone who isn’t even a sworn peace officer.  And, with fewer than 6.000 active cases, 99 + percent of the unvaccinated are not infected.  There is no probable cause anyhow.

Civil rights aren’t dead.
