VICTORIA, British Columbia (LifeSiteNews) — The Canadian province of British Columbia issued an order declaring that firing public sector workers for refusing the COVID vaccine is now to be considered termination with “just cause” under the law.
British Columbia Lt. Gov. Janet Austin signed an order on November 19 stating that the government can fire public service workers with “just cause” if they refuse to receive one of the experimental COVID-19 injections. In Canada, being fired with “just cause” disqualifies someone from receiving unemployment benefits.
The order, which amended the Public Service Act of 1996, pronounced that the “COVID-19 Vaccination Policy is a term and condition of employment for employees,” and “If an employee is terminated” under the policy, “the employee is deemed to have been dismissed with just cause.”
The newly handed down order could devastate Canadians economically, as according to the Canadian government, if one is terminated from their job due to their own “misconduct,” which includes a “violation of the obligations set out in his contract of employment,” they are not to receive regular employment insurance (EI) benefits.
BC’s decision follows last month’s statements from Canada’s Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough, who indicated that to her knowledge, Canadians who are fired for refusing the jab will not qualify for EI. That means that if fired, there will be no compensation at all, either by the former employer or by the government.
This point was hotly contested by employment lawyer Paul Champ, who said that “it’s reasonable that some employers may and will terminate employees for not being vaccinated” but “it’s different to say that it’s just cause, meaning you pay them nothing.”
However, in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Champ did mention that if an amendment were made by the Cabinet to alter the law, that it could be possible to revoke someone’s EI benefits for refusing the injections.
The dangerous ideas of Critical Race Theory (CRT) are being forced on students in public schools around the country.
This is wrong and parents have had enough! It's time to join them in saying "STOP!" to this harmful and racist propaganda.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which says "No to CRT" in public schools, and "Yes to parents' right" to strongly protest CRT.
But, what is CRT anyway and why is it so dangerous?
Critical Race Theory is a hateful system of indoctrination which teaches that one race is either superior or inferior to another race, and that the United States is inherently racist.
CRT is dangerous and hateful precisely because it teaches children who are not white to despise and envy white children simply because of their skin color. And, as a result, it also teaches white children to despise themselves simply because of the color of their skin.
CRT also erroneously teaches that American society is inherently racist, and that different, detrimental policies (like reparations for slavery and race-based pay scales) should be imposed on the population to redistribute wealth from whites to non-whites.
This type of racist/marxist propaganda should have NO place in public, taxpayer-funded schools!
And, thankfully, American parents of EVERY COLOR are raising their voices and ballots against it!
Indeed, parents understand the destructive ramifications of CRT and, despite outrageous threats from Biden's Justice Department to prosecute them, they have been strongly protesting CRT at school board meetings across the country!
And now, in the first test of its kind, a candidate who was campaigning hard against CRT just won the governorship of Virginia in a huge upset victory.
That's great news, but we now need to contact every state legislature about this crucial educational issue.
And, we need to DEMAND that they BAN Critical Race Theory from every public school in their states - both primary and high schools, and colleges!
Whereas advocates of CRT seem more intent on vengence than on teaching children of every race to respect everybody, regardless of skin color, American parents of every race understand that it is not the color of one's skin that matters, but the content of one's character (to paraphrase Martin Luther King, Jr.).
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition asking all state legislatures to BAN Crititical Race Theory from public schools in their respective states.
Thank you!

“If it’s a matter of policy, if they want to strip people from EI benefits, they can do that by statute,” stated Champ.
Despite this, top constitutional rights lawyer Rocco Galati, as well as one of the co-authors of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Brian Peckford, has continuously maintained throughout the so-called pandemic that any vaccine mandate handed down by the government is a violation of each citizens’ inalienable rights, and therefore “unenforceable” under the law.
“You have a right to freedom; you have a right to your security as a person. In other words, these injections are completely beyond the scope of the Charter and are illegal or unconstitutional,” Peckford said in a seminar earlier this month, mentioning each citizen’s protected rights to life, liberty, and security of the person under Section 7 of the Charter.
“I have a constitutional right to not have a medical treatment forced on me,” stated Galati, invoking Section 7 rights, as well as the right to be protected against discrimination under Section 15, and the rights to freedom of religion and conscience under Section 2. “Who decides [what medical treatments you have to take], you or the state? It has got to be you or else we’re back to Nazi Germany.”
