Canadians not yet injected with the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine now need to be accompanied by staff members when shopping at pharmacies for essential goods in the province of Quebec.
The new rule formed part of a decree issued by Quebec’s Health Minister Christian Dube on Sunday, Jan. 23. According to the decree, which took effect on Monday, Jan. 24, unvaccinated patrons who enter pharmacies with “a sales area of 1,500 square meters or more” located in giant retail centers like Costco and Walmart must “be accompanied at all times” by pharmacy employees or any other staff member mandated for this purpose.
Unvaccinated customers would be chaperoned by staff members while receiving a “pharmaceutical service” and are prohibited from buying products unrelated to the service they are set to receive. Dube’s measure effectively limited unvaccinated Canadians to purchasing only essential goods, such as food and medicine.
Meanwhile, Quebec’s vaccinated population is now required to show proof of vaccination alongside government-issued identification in order to enter large retailers.
According to the Daily Hive, Quebec Premier Francois Legault first announced the new measures during a Jan. 13 press conference. He mentioned that any store occupying more than 1,500 square meters of retail space would have to require vaccine passports as a condition for entry.

Dube, who was also present during the press briefing, said stores inside malls that fall under the space requirement are also included and must implement the vaccine passport requirement. “It’s simple: If it’s bigger than 1,500 square meters, they have to enforce it.”
Quebecois businesses react to the new measure
Businesses in the French-speaking Canadian province expressed frustration over the new measure. According to Quebec Retail Council, its member businesses had to scramble to move around schedules and put staff on their front doors to comply with the mandate.
Some Quebec companies claim the new mandate poses financial and customer service challenges. Quebecois hardware chain Canac says it will cost around CA$100,000 ($79,240) weekly to enforce the mandate in its 31 stores across the province.

Canac Marketing Director Patrick Delisle added that the hardware chain has dealt with more angry clients in the weeks nearing the vaccine mandate. “We’re just the messenger; it’s not us who decided to do it. We’re getting a lot of messages from people on social media pouring their hearts out – to put it politely,” he said.
Businessman Simon Gagnon, who owns a Sports Expert franchise in the southern Quebecois city of Sherbrooke, also expressed his frustration. The province’s labor shortage made hiring staff members a challenge, but the need to hire security guards and additional staff members poses a “colossal” hurdle for him.
Gagnon fears losing some of his customers. “What scares us is that instead of lining up, people will go shop somewhere else,” he said. The businessman added that he feels Quebec is “creating unfair competition” between larger retailers and smaller stores exempted from the rules.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
