It’s an understanding that you can only disrupt public life so substantially for so long before the pushback makes people cut off their nose to spite their face, especially in todays political climate where people seem to value freedom over quality of life in many aspects.
Although I don’t believe that necessarily makes it politically motivated. It’s an important look at the psychology of making things most effective.

One can certainly hold that opinion. I do not, and say it's not politically motivated or our that would just remove all confidence in our health professionals. All along the messaging that we got from our BC officials is that people not following the order were idiots, that this province was not going to be looking at other provinces or the federal government to make its decisions and plot it's own course. It would be quite the about-face if at the end of it all they just decided to cave to public pressure.
Unless you can produce actual evidence that what you say is what led the decisions they made... Maybe there's a tape of a heated discussion between Horgan and Henry on this decision, and Hulk comes out "Dammit Bonnie, people can't handle this any longer, this is how it's going to be".
