Is government mandate for Covid19 vaccine a bill or regulation passed by Parliament of Canada or provincial parliaments? Has it been written in provincial employment laws? Is there any formal official lawful documents? You can't only follow someone's words announced on the media, that's dictatorship not Canada.

Does that mean the Employer has the right to continue illegal actions? If you continue working after an illegal pay cut (deemed acceptance even if you didn't know your rights), why does that mean "he gives them the right to do it again?" 🤔 See 26:44 in video.

What I think you're saying is that, it sets a precedent? Kind-of like, if you get off for speeding, you now have the right to speed?

As far as the Mandate Goes is there an option for Religious Exemptions like America an employee can file a letter from Churches the pastors and the Clergy to protect the jobs of those who have a religious belief on the mandate.
