From the CBC article: > The government may reinstate the vaccine requirement if there's a new variant of the virus, according to sources with direct knowledge of the decision who spoke with CBC News on condition they not be named. By that they mean “If we manage to drive everyone’s level of panic back up high enough all our draconian measures will start coming back.” This was only because of growing complaints from vaccinated travellers and the airline industry. We’re lucky all the extra documentation and airport delays were required to catch us vaccine free people or they would have only dropped the testing mandate. Remember, this violation of our charter rights was not dropped because anyone realized it was a violation, pointless, or morally wrong. It was dropped because it was no longer popular and it may have threatened Trudeau’s political power.
