Canada maintains vaccine requirement for NBA players in 2022-23 season

So that what?

Aug 09, 2022

News of the hour: “Unvaccinated NBA players will remain ineligible to play in Toronto for 2022-23 season, per report” (MSN, 2022.08.08):

But for the vast majority of the league this won't be an issue as 97 percent of the players have received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Not a biggie! Just 3% of anti-vaxxers are affected.

My question - what is the justification for this “policy”? My qualified guess is, it’s to keep Canadians under control first and foremost, not to set “dangerous” precedents they might affect their willingness to continue to submit to the Covid “policies”.

Buffalo immigration lawyer Matthew Kolken has filed asylum applications for at least half a dozen Canadians who hope to flee the country permanently due to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pandemic policies. In an exclusive interview with True North, Kolken, who is a former director of the Board of Governors of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, explained that his clients fear being persecuted for being unvaccinated should they return to Canada.
