I'm almost certain the CFL season will try to trudge ahead because I truly don't know if it would survive another year off. Remains to be seen how the ticket gate will affect them this year and if they can survive that also.

I bought season tickets for the first time last year, and I do think think I would probably go if they did. Commonwealth is so big that spacing seats should be feasible, and being outdoors should be fine. May still mask up though, not sure.

And I may even have the vaccine by then anyway.

The biggest question I think is shared spaces like entering/exiting and washrooms. Maybe there are certain sections assigned to each and maybe there is staggered times. Not sure how they will handle that at either Commonwealth or Rogers.

The CFL won't survive without ~ 20-25k gates.

Which I think you could do in Edmonton, BC, Toronto (if they move back into Rogers Centre for the year). But I'm not sure how you would social distance and fit that many into Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Montreal, Ottawa, Hamilton. Maybe proof of vaccine to enter? Could private businesses do that?

Depends if human rights legislation holds up.

Someone with a lot more knowledge than me would have to dig into it, but it seems there is already restrictions for a lot of private businesses that they can utilize. You can refuse service for all kinds of reasons, including health and safety (i.e. no shoes, no shirt, no smoking, etc.). If it were following public health guidelines, I'd imagine they'd probably be in the clear to do so.

I'm definitely not an expert on human rights laws and whenever I have to deal with this stuff my first call is to the lawyer, but I do 'get' to deal with it. Smoking isn't a great comparison because the bylaws are weighted toward people doing nothing. A better comparison would be someone not being able to work in a metal trade unless they have a tetanus shot. We can agree you should have your should have your booster shot if you work with rusty metal, but your company can't force you to put anything into your body. Same for your Mexico shot. You should get tropical boosters before you fly south, but should the airline refuse boarding if you can't show proof?

By the way, most Albertan get their booster shots when they're in grade 9. If you're older than 25, you need to get it again.

Difference with Tetanus is that it isn't an infectious disease. Ditto for traveller's diarrhea or hepatitis. No one can get that just by you breathing on them.

You can be refused entry to several countries in the world without proof of Yellow Fever vaccination, and I believe airlines will enforce that too.

Mask wearing is similar to shoes or shirt rules. I don't know if innoculations though is the same for Canadian businesses, because health information is supposed to be private and protected. We'll have to wait for a lawyer to weigh in on that.

Fine measles. Can you refuse employment for refusing the measles vaccine.

Shoe and shirt rules have no real standing for businesses with public access. If you've ever gone to a downtown 7-11... the same is true for masks. There's a reason the Edmonton bylaw contains an out clause specifically related to the provincial human rights act.

It must suck being a pseudo(?) libertarian supporter of authoritarian rulers - it's like you just landed from a couple centuries back and your "rights" are always being trampled on ;-)
