S02E22 Manitoba's 'Immunization Cards' from 'God'

The focus is on Manitoba, supposedly the North American 'hotspot' for Covid cases, after Alberta was the hotspot, and before that BC. Now the Premier, Brian Pallister (who equated himself with God on May 25 when he proclaimed an 11th Commandment "Obey the health orders!") is gearing up to introduce vaccine passports, which they are calling "immunization cards." Regardless of what focus groups say is a better name to sell the idea to the public, they still violate the Canadian Charter.
