The McGill Association of University Teachers wrote a letter this week to McGill University administration in favour of a vaccine mandate.A growing number of faculty groups at McGill University are calling for the school to implement a vaccine mandate because they are worried about COVID-19 transmission when classes resume in the fall.
Universities and colleges in Saskatchewan, Ontario and Manitoba have said they will implement vaccine mandates on campus, but no higher-education establishments in Quebec have announced similar plans. “At this point in time, in the absence of specific legal authorization, mandatory vaccination can be justified legally only if other reasonable means are insufficiently effective to ensure the health and safety of the community,” university spokeswoman Katherine Gombay wrote in an e-mail.The Quebec government has said it will require proof of vaccination from university students who want to participate in certain extracurricular activities, like sports.
Ian Rakita, president of the faculty union at Concordia University, Quebec’s largest English-language university, said he thinks a vaccine passport system “would be a plus.” Professors are approaching the return to school with mixed feelings, he said in a recent interview, and while many are looking forward to teaching in person, others have safety concerns.
The COVID aftermath: more & more rich immigrants will pour their money into this damaged economy, so the average house price will reach $1.5 millions in major expensive cities in North America! POOR NEW GENERATIONS!
The spirit of misery has prevailed around the world! It seems as if a chemical weapon was exploited outside, or a nuclear plant was exploited outside! Poor new generations! What happened to the WMDs?!
Meanwhile all universities from Alberta through Ontario have vaccine mandates (or frequent testing).
Meanwhile Back at the Cottage ❄️🎈🤡🧦😜🇨🇦
