"Choose your vaccine", what a statement from a citizen of a rich country! Millions of people just dream of having it! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I didn't want to get involved in this story with Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge, but there is something that calls out to me: why do the reaction video… in his tank?!? 😂😂😂 #lesvraissavent

The guy chooses not to get the vaccine. His choice. It does not correspond to the values of a company. Their choice. The contract is terminated: it is the fault of the marde media. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And I like the “if the media hadn't talked about it, it would never have happened…” Translation: as long as you don't get banged, that's fine.

What a unifying speech from Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge.
Thank you Guillaume for uniting Quebecers rather than petty trying to divide us.

Conceived. You have a restaurant. You install plexiglass. You have a hard time finding employees. You have a mask in your face all day.
Worse, Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge calls you to tell you that he will come and eat in your restaurant without being vaccinated because he is special.

Those who portray Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge as a victim forget a very important detail: It is HIS choice to refuse an effective vaccine that is accessible to everyone. A "personal choice" which has consequences. That's all.
