Doug Ford, the embattled Ontario premier, telephoned supporters on Thursday letting them know that on Friday he will announce that he is abandoning the province’s vaccine passport scheme, and that he will provide more details on Monday.
Premier Ford is obviously no friend of the Freedom Convoy, but perhaps he's seen the handwriting on the wall? Perhaps he doesn't want to be on the wrong side of the Canadian Color Revolution?

This "both sides" deal is akin to the "anti-mandate" vs. "anti-vax" forced choice distinction that I'm trying to explore a bit currently.
In this case, it is inverted into "anti-passport", but still "anti-protest", (i.e. "pro-authoritarian")
The leaders are revealing a lack of coherent principle, and don't even know how to verbalize what they believe, what they are doing. And per usual, the science and data of the disease and the jabs is a million miles away. Irrelevant.
Critical. But irrelevant (edit:irrelevant to the policy makers and bureaucrats)
