Retail liquor and cannabis shops in Canada's Quebec province will require shoppers to show proof of vaccination amid a rising surge of new Covid cases.
The new measure goes into effect on Tuesday, 18 January. Health officials say they hope the order will encourage more people to get vaccinated.
New cases are spiking in Quebec despite the region having one of the highest vaccination rates in the world.
On Thursday, health officials warned of a "tsunami" of new hospital admissions.
Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé told reporters that customers will have to display proof of vaccination to enter the government-run Société des alcools du Québec and Société québécoise du cannabis stores.
"I'm just saying that if you don't want to get vaccinated, stay home," he said, adding that more restrictions are coming soon.
"If unvaccinated people are unhappy about it,"Mr Dubé added, "there's a very simple solution: getting vaccinated."
Proof of vaccine is already required in health facilities, theatres, bars and indoor sport and performance venues.
A curfew is also in place, running from 22:00 to 05:00 each day.

Black Markets coming soon.
Uh oh! … NOW, there’s gonna be an uprising!
Take away our freedoms, meh..
Restrict us from getting high, HELL NO!!!!
I guess Canada wants to create a black market so they can experience the same lawlessness we have in California.
If I could show that I arrived in Canada illegally would I need to show proof of vax to get medical care?
Imagine three red bearded loggers , 6 ft 7 and in a bad mood, being refused their booze or their marijuana.
Will make airline brawls look like Mister Rogers Neighborhood.

LOL

Bingo. Canada has just created a whole new industry.
Governments are lying about the number of unvaccinated out there ,LOL

If the ‘rona is only active at night why can’t one just go out during the day to buy weed and booze?
Now they’ve gone and done it. They’ve pissed off the stoners, eh?
2 words: Bathtub gin.
Quebec , they probably make their own home brew anyway
They were forced to declare liquor stores “essential businesses” during lockdown in GA back in 2020. At that point I knew it was a joke.
Population of Quebec: 8.6 mil, 2021 figure.
Looks like the Quebecois are made of sterner stuff.
Why don’t the fascists just set up roving bands of armed thugs, with needle bearing corps in tow, stop people on the streets, demand their papers and forcibly jab them. How about door to door raids, room to room searches for the unjabbed and hold them down to be stuck.
straw purchases???
RE: I once saw a documentary about Canadian lumberjacks. Some of them are, shall we say, a bit odd.

Can you distinguish them from ordinary Canadians?
Sorry for the cheap shot, low blow. A lot of Canadians are fine people. Just a segment would be called “odd.” Like some on our forum. Let me get my mirror.
How come there’s no requirement to sanitize the joint before passing it to the next pothead? Since we’ve been warned over and over about how easily the WuFlu spreads, and how onerous requirements are justified, why no attention to this?
Bogarting is not the only infection vector. Can’t use hand sanitizer (self immolation risk) or anything else alcohol-based, so researchers have their work cut out for themselves.
