A majority of Canadians say it’s time to end all COVID-19 restrictions and allow people to manage their own level of risk, a new Angus Reid poll shows.

Published on Jan. 31, the survey shows that 54 percent of Canadians are in favour of ending the pandemic restrictions—an increase of 15 percentage points from a similar poll conducted earlier this month that showed 40 percent in favour.

The sentiments are shared across almost every region in the country, with at least 51 percent saying it’s time now to open things up and let people self-isolate if they’re at risk.

Among the regions that agree with the idea, Saskatchewan was the highest at 62 percent. Quebec followed closely at 59 percent, followed by Alberta and Ontario at 57 percent and 54 percent respectively. British Columbia and Manitoba trailed behind but managed to secure a majority support at 52 percent and 51 percent.

The only region that goes against it, according to the survey results, is Atlantic Canada with 52 percent disagreeing versus 40 percent who are in favour.

“With Omicron now appearing to have peaked, many Canadians are leaning toward reducing restrictions related to COVID-19 control in Canada,” Angus Reid said in a press release.

The proving to be either ignorant to science, stupid and or vile anti-liberty politicians be they federal, provincial or municipal who can’t or refuse to see that the will of the population has turned from living TWO FRIGGING YEARS IN MISPLACED FEAR AND PARANOIA to now that of people DEMANDING all these lies, the abuse of power and attacks on Charter rights ENDS NOW! so you better wake up.

Adults can live with this now ever less severe coronavirus as we do with the flu and other cold type viruses. We can also look out and care for our minor aged children too. WE DON’T NEED IGNORANT AND ABUSIVE POLITICIANS, HUNGRY FOR CONTROL BUREAUCRATS and THUG LIKE COPS CONTROLLING OUR LIVES AND THOSE OF OUR CHILDREN!
