Toronto Star – The Saturday Debate: Is there a role for vaccine passports in Canada?
March 31, 2021 —
Law professor Colleen M.

Law professor Brandon Trask says such passports have no place in Canada. “One of the costs of living in a democracy is that our fellow citizens may do things other than we wish they would. In the end, this is a small price to pay for all the benefits that flow from having meaningful rights,” Trask writes.
