    1. Right now they are playing the game, whether coerced or incentivized. BUT their day will come and I sure hope VERY soon.

    1. They are corrupt and have ruined people’s lives with unnecessary lockdowns and measures. Hoping they get violently assaulted in public. That’s what they are worried about. They should never be able to feel safe again

  1. These health officials should be investigated and if there is any corruption they should be given mandatory life sentences.

    1. The person we should be investigating is not Arruda but our prime minister François Legault. His mandates are far too severe and nothing is actually science based and the PM makes these decisions and has the last word. He probably quit because he knew how corrupt the government is or he got fired because he was opposing them.

    1. You are so right……….let’s replace them all with Canadian slackers……opps, sorry that should be stackers. They have all the answers.

    1. @Micah Bell Online Right, read the Bible! The only book on viruses that you ever need. The only book on any subject really. Every things in the bible!🙄

    2. @Doo Dad Why do you think they chose the bronze serpent as their symbol..? Of course it’s in the Bible, want to know what’s next…? War.

    3. @Doo Dad The Bible also warns about pharmakea, greek word for sorcery, making of potions, drugs, etc.

  2. This should be a huge sign that even health officials aren’t agreeing with the measures…. so who’s really making the call? It’s all smoke and mirrors.

    1. The premier is the one responsible. He is responsible for his cabinet in which he delegates responsibilities.

    2. He’s a rat like the rest of them hes had his position for 12 years. Our healthcare has been a joke for the last 20.

  3. That’s because he knows that his knee caps will be adjusted in the next several months as the evidence comes out

  4. Not enough quebecers will take the third dose and this guy is aware of it. The vaccin passeport will be a huge problem then

  5. if he thinks resigning is gonna save him from scrutiny down the road about how he handled this whole thing, he’s got another thing coming

    1. VERY far from over for those who have gone along for any reason. All this is based on WHAT PROOF? Don’t know of him and think I’m glad.

  6. It comes to a point where saying, ‘rules are rules ‘ and just taking orders’, doesn’t make you unaccountable anymore.

    1. that is exactly what I wrote to my Provincial Deputy Christine Labrie , if my Province decides to forcibly Inject those who are unwilling.
      No way this will pass.

  7. These health officials should be investigated and if there is any corruption they should be given mandatory life sentences.

  8. These health officials should be investigated and if there is any corruption they should be given mandatory life sentences.
