Jabless Jobs' board has had over 240 thousand views since November 2021. 
 
It has thousands of job listings across Canada, including Alberta, one of those listings is in Airdrie looking for a music teacher. The online job website is geared towards, as the website states, "connect[ing] non-discriminatory employers with like-minded job seekers". The website is the creation of Vancouverite George Douklias. 
 
Douklias formerly worked for a cleaning service in Vancouver that cleaned the exteriors of buildings before he created Jabless Jobs.
 
"Well, my employer at the time was going to start implementing restrictions on staff and I wasn't comfortable with that," he said. "So I decided to move on and start looking elsewhere. I needed to find a job, so I created a job board on telegram that can help me find a job, but it actually blew up. So I ended up sticking it out and keeping the job board going and it's grown into a website now."
 
When asked whether he was vaccinated he didn't answer.
 
"I think that's private."
 
Jabless Jobs has job listings from all provinces, including in Alberta with the majority of employers seeking workers from Edmonton and Calgary, through there were a handful of posts from rural Alberta, including Airdrie, Okotoks, and Cochrane. The Airdrie listing that is classified in the education section, is looking for a music teacher, "Teaching Small Group and Private Lessons – Piano, Singing, Guitar. Experience/Education in teaching Piano, Singing, Guitar. In-person teaching – must be able to work in person."
 
Douklais said that his mission is to give financial security to people, regardless of their personal choices.
 
"Most jobs that [are] posted with us have a high engagement rate and they usually find the people they're looking for," Douklais said. "In fact, when there's been a split in a place of employment, often the employer might disagree with some of the employers and the employees, and they'll move on. But then they'll come to us and ask them to help their staff and suddenly they'll have a whole staff again."
 
Discover Airdrie asked if he is worried that by someone finding employment from a job listing on his website that he may be potentially exposing both an employee and employer for an unsafe work environment, namely becoming sick or infected with COVID-19 if they are not vaccinated.
 
"We're not responsible for what people choose to do with their personal space. We just encourage people to be careful and healthy. Everyone is entitled to make their own choices [as] to where they go and what they do."
 
Douklais said that although he left his employment due to a difference of opinion on what he called 'restrictions' he conceded not much else has changed in his life.
 
"[In] Vancouver, and I don't know what it would be like in the rest of the country, but I have no problems going for groceries and seeing my doctor and such, so my life isn't terribly affected," he said. "However, I just wasn't willing to work in a place that had was willing to implement discriminatory restrictions on people. I was going to be a part of that."
 
Jabless Jobs also offers resume building, and partners with organizations like the Canadian Health Alliance, Freedommap.ca, and Sovereignsinglescanada. Freedommap.ca describes itself as a "Pro-Freedom Community Map; No mask, no pass, no problem," and helps, "Find groups and businesses who don't discriminate." The website also listed a similar Airdrie posting about music lessons, though no further information was given in the post. 
 
In a November 2021 study, by the Angus Reid Institute, a poll of 1,611 people indicated that "55 per cent of respondents supported tradespeople and/or construction workers to be terminated from employment if they refused to be vaccinated."
