It is absolutely clear that this is because a tangential cultural battle was being played out through pandemic policy. Compliance with even the most absurd and esoteric restrictions was a way to signal "fuck antivaxxers, fuck Trump, respect science #believeallwomen #BLM", that whole post-2015
thing.
Here, the most anti-vaccine people were old lefties. Right-wingers wanted vaccine passports. That hit the Anglo-world messaging obliquely and kind of fizzled, so things could be more dispassionate.
You guys got too into it because of US politics and it still follows those lines, as will any ensuing discussion here. Canada was a silly place during those years.
