Quebec to Heavily Tax the Unvaxxed
The Canadian province of Quebec will heavily tax the unvaccinated.
Premier Francois Legault on Tuesday said the unvaccinated will be taxed, however the fee has not been decided.
The tax will be “significant” the premier said.
“I think right now it’s a question of fairness for the 90% of the population who made some sacrifices,” Mr Legault said. “I think we owe them this kind of measure.”

The Canadian province of Quebec, struggling to control the Omicron variant, will impose a new health tax in the coming weeks on those who are not vaccinated against Covid-19.
“We are working on a health contribution for all the adults who are refusing to get vaccinated” because they represent a “financial burden for all Quebecois,” said Quebec Premier Francois Legault.
