Re: Federal Vaccine Mandate
I thank our colleague Merlyn for his contribution to the discussion. But why should Marine Engineers be restricted to discussing only machinery and keep their head buried in the sand over the most urgent matter of the day affecting their health, safety, & career ? To question how this matter rel...

Re: Federal Vaccine Mandate
There is a longer video (about 45 minutes) of the Oct. 22 rally at the Vancouver TC Office. The speakers raised some very good points. The video is prime material for beginning to understand the issues and the magnitude of the problem. https://www.librti.com/page/view-video?id=1029 Sorry about the d...

Re: Federal Vaccine Mandate
The protest of Oct. 22 at the Vancouver TC office indicates trouble ahead in the shipping industry. The rally was organized by members of The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and supported by Action4Canada, a grass roots movement which is standing up for the lawful rights of Canadi...

Re: Your Rights & Federal Vax Mandate
I would like to clarify the posting dated Oct. 16, "Your Rights & Federal VAX Mandate". Since this, the moderator has unlocked it. So I would like to acknowledge this and say thanks to JK. The federal vax mandate is of course of great concern to all in the marine industry. Even for tho...

Your Rights & Federal Vax Mandate
It seems that our moderator has taken offense to forum content. Has the discussion struck a nerve ? Have I anything to apologize for ? He has offered nothing of substance to back his reason: "it’s going down the rabbit hole. You want to expand on epidemiology then there are places for that whic...

Re: Federal Vaccine Mandate
Chummyjigger is certainly within his rights to refrain from the anti COVID injection. I wish him well with his rightful pursuit of his livelihood. This posting refers to the anti COVID injections as "injections"; as they are do not meet the definition of "vaccine". Vaccine: "...

Federal Vaccine Mandate
Have any forum members read the TC bulletin that was released Oct. 6 ? "Mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirements for federally regulated transportation employees and travellers" https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2021/10/mandatory-covid-19-vaccination-requirements-for-federa...

Re: Mobility of asymptomatic, presumed non-covid-19-carrying* seafarers in the marine sector during the covid-19 pandemi
Thanks Martin for your account of the Deck Hand's experience. On March 24 I received a reply to my question to TC about the mariners' exemption. It seems that TC is not following their own directive. The TC gentleman claimed that the link to the bulletin that I had referred to did not work. It worke...

Re: COVID Vaccines
According to a recent article in marinelog.com, it is looking grim for international shipping. Port states and shipping companies are beginning to demand that crew be "vaccinated". This will trample crew rights. The result could be death and disability of crew, as side effects to the gene ...

Re: CCGS Edward Cornwallis to be renamed
Cornwallis: Another famous leader sanitized from the pages of history by equally ruthless counter culture proponents. Such acts change not the past which we should not forget. The man was given a job by the ruling monarch of the day to keep his charges secure. But this does not release him from blam...

Re: Mobility of asymptomatic, presumed non-covid-19-carrying* seafarers in the marine sector during the covid-19 pandemi
Not sure where "cry me a river"fits into the discussion. My points were not a lament, but a discussion of facts and figures. Personal sarcastic comments only discredit the speaker or author of such. Please kindly concentrate on merit and facts. I would like to see logical comments, whether...

Re: COVID Vaccines
Sorry, but it is difficult to avoid certain terminologies in a discussion that involves one's lawful rights and freedoms and one's health. I may have avoided the word "me" to some extent by such euphemistic constructs as "this author", "one's self", etc. But that seems ...

Re: COVID Vaccines
Sorry, but this is not Russian conspiracy. Russia has rolled out its own variety of a COVID vaccine, so what quarrel have they against other countries that offer the jab ? Personal attack on an opposing view is only indication of one's own weak position in a discussion. Please concentrate on the mer...

Re: Mobility of asymptomatic, presumed non-covid-19-carrying* seafarers in the marine sector during the covid-19 pandemi
I have been in Russia, which largely remains a police state. But I have been in the police state of Canada over the past year. My rights have been infringed. My rights of mobility, my rights of freedom of assembly, and my rights to the air that I breathe in the form of mandated masks, to name a few....

COVID Vaccines
Wonder if any forum participants have any insight to offer on the possibility of mandated COVID "vaccines" for marine crew. There are many reasons one should be concerned about the safety of COVID "vaccines" that have been rushed to market in a matter of months, compared to the n...
