While small and independent businesses are suffering, large multinational corporations and their owners are enjoying some of the best years for increased wealth in recorded history.
(LifeSiteNews) — Most businesses in Canada reported a decline in sales after provincial governments forced them to discriminate against the unvaccinated.
An October survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has found that a whopping 68 percent of businesses in the hospitality industry have reported a decline in sales since the installation of vaccine passport discrimination systems across the nation. Similarly shocking figures were also reported in the arts and recreation sector.

According to the survey, not only have most businesses reported a drop in sales as a result of the government-mandated discrimination, over 50 percent of the businesses also state that the new policies are forcing them to spend more money on staffing, supplies, and technology to keep up with the regulations.
Currently all provinces and territories in Canada, except for Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, require businesses to enforce some type of vaccine passport system for entry into restaurants, bars, event venues, and recreation centers, among other places.
“Regardless of one’s views on vaccine passports, there is no doubt they’ve led to a further drop in sales for the small businesses required to use them,” wrote CFIB President Dan Kelly.
“Extending this policy extends the losses among hospitality & arts/recreation businesses,” Kelly added.
