Canada – U.S. Division Emerging Over Vaccine Passports? Could Be a Tricky Issue

CTVNEWS – As if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t produced enough ways to complicate life at the border between Canada and the United States, here comes another: whether or not to require proof of vaccination.

Debate is heating up in the freedom-focused U.S. about whether retailers, businesses and employers can and should require customers, workers and visitors to prove they’ve had a vaccine.

The discussion is also happening in Canada, a country some observers say is more attuned to the collective good than many of those in the land of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

(Editor’s note: President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appear to get along, but that doesn’t mean this issue will be any easier to solve than free trade or oil pipelines.)
