That's like suggesting the rebellion in the American British colonies wasn't actually tax related because those kinds of issues had "never come up before". There's a threshold of what people will tolerate, and when that threshold is passed people will rebel. When you threaten a person's food, housing, or family that person will go down fighting. The mandates in Canada essentially outlaw working for those who are unvaccinated. Trudeau has made it abundantly clear that the "thumb-screws" approach to vaccines was going to be his only gambit. If the government can make not being vaccinated uncomfortable enough, then more people will get vaccinated. Similar approaches have been tried all across the world, to similar effect. Europe, especially Eastern Europe and the Nordic countries have seen massive protests as the measures for vaccines have become more strict. People generally will not tolerate threats against the things they value most.
