Agreed. But look at the example from the UBC AMS. Perhaps we should be organizing pressure ourselves. From: Christopher Pavsek <cpavsek@sfu.ca>

That direction comes from the Ministry of Health and the Min. of
Adv. Education, or whatever it's called these days.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
So if faculty and staff want to pressure the university to implement a vaccine requirement, pressure would have to be applied to the university and to the relevant levels of government.
Such requirements are common in the US.
