Everybody hates a freeloader.

This is a universal law of human nature.

So while it's true evidence suggests "vaccine passports" would be more effective at getting vaccination-hesitant Albertans to do the right thing than Premier Jason Kenney's scheme to give $100 gift cards to dim-witted holdouts if they agree to get a jab, that's not why the idea was instantly and universally loathed. It's also likely not because it'll cost about $20 million.

It's because good citizens who did the right thing and stepped up to be vaccinated will get bupkes.
