Quebec stepped up its “deconfinement plan” this week and began lifting coronavirus restrictions, while Premier Francois Legault rejected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s effort to crush the Freedom Convoy protest movement by invoking emergency powers.
“I think that I was very clear with the prime minister that the federal Emergencies Act should not, must not apply in Quebec,” Legault said on Monday. “We don’t have any problems in Quebec so far. The Sureté du Québec has everything under control.”
There were Freedom Convoy demonstrations in Montreal and Quebec City over the past two weeks, but they were relatively restrained and mostly held over weekends. Legault said using the emergency powers offered by Trudeau against the protesters would be unwarranted and divisive.
“I think that at this moment, it would not help the social climate. There’s a lot of pressure right now, and I think we have to be careful. We really don’t need to throw oil on the fire,” he said.
Quebec lifted more of the restrictions opposed by the protesters on Monday. On Tuesday, plans were announced to begin removing vaccine passport requirements in stages, with the process completed by March 14.
CTV News reported that size restrictions on private gatherings have been lifted in Quebec, restaurants can seat more customers, four visitors a day are now permitted at old age homes if they have vaccine passports, and seniors are permitted limited outings.
Gyms and spas are now allowed to operate at half capacity, while outdoor events will be allowed with up to five thousand attendees.

That’s province number 6.
It’s a done deal basically.
C’est Bon!
Even Quebecers???!!!!
If they do not replace the PM, it is meaningless.
They must have decided that he was not french after all.
I am so proud of those danged Canadian truckers.
Wow. Good on them.
Troo dough
Future 51st State, along with several others. We may get to 57 after all...
So now four people can visit their elderly relative if they have vaccination passports. That’s mighty damn generous of the government.

Some have discarded restrictions, and some have told Tur-d’eau off; some have done both.
At any rate, these are all the provinces:
Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan.
All the border provinces except British Columbia.

Yes this is disgusting.
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are also border provinces.
In fact, there are only two provinces that do not border the USA: Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Additionally, the North West Territory does not border anything but Canada, Yukon borders Alaska of course, and Nunavut borders Greenland (Denmark).
Good for them too.
Many thanks, I was thinking of the ones that had border crossings shut down by the truckers.
Dang, he’s losing the Frogs, that’s rough!
The Tyrant Trudeau should rescind his Emergencies Act invocation, but he’s more likely to double down. He might even go so far as to have the Governor General (the official representative of Queen Elizabeth II) prorogue Canada’s Parliament to prevent from holding a no-confidence vote. That would allow him to rule by fiat without having a Parliament able to stop him.
