Liberal MP breaks ranks and criticizes public health policies dividing Canadians

Lightbound was alone in voicing these concerns in a press conference on Tuesday, but says he is not the only Liberal MP who is feeling uneasy with the direction the government has taken....

He said that he couldn’t help but notice that “both the tone and the policies” of his government changed “drastically on the eve and during the last election campaign”.

“From a positive and unifying approach, a decision was made to wedge, to divide and to stigmatize. I fear that this politicization of the pandemic risks undermining the public’s trust in our public health institutions.

Lightbound underlined that Canada has reached one of the highest levels of vaccination in the world and that this is something that the country should be proud of. “Yet here we are more divided than ever”, he noted.

The MP pointed out to the vaccination requirement for truckers crossing the Canada-United States border and says he has not seen the data justifying such a measure.

“If we forget about the demonstrations, and we forget about the convoy for just a second and look at that policy for what it is. This is a policy that now goes against the World Health Organization’s recommendation, and for which no epidemiological studies and projections have been provided”, he said.

** and that's the big beef here ... scientists didn't make up these restrictions, they were invented out of thin air by some stupid bureaucrats ... no study ever proved that trucker mandates make a difference

same for lockdowns, cloth masking, the 6-foot separation rule, etc.

all arbitrarily made up, NOT "Science" !!

That’s a crack. At the moment the only immediate ways of resolving things are Trudeau changing course, Singh bringing down the government, the truckers backing down, or the truckers being removed.

However, if 10-15 members of his Caucus are restless, the math gets really complicated, in that in addition to the liberals and conservatives, there are the NDP, the Bloc, two Greens and an independent. People can vote for, against, and abstain, but I don’t think that Trudeau has Harper’s skill in governing in a weak minority position. Over the next 1-4 weeks things may get really interesting.

It is not about the virus, it is an excuse to control you.

It’s simple.

No lockdowns
No Vaxx passports
No mandates

Freedom.

When this started in 2020, I firmly believe that the United States government was not sure what this virus was. (Now though it looks like Fauci and some in the Democrat party knew) I remember when Trump wanted to open up and then it started. Fauci, CCP, elites from all countries (including RINOS) wanted to control the mass population no matter what it took. From my standpoint we are at the reflection point. The truckers are standing up in all countries and the next couple weeks will dictate how the future will be.

An apt description of North Korea!

This from a liberal while the conservatives like our Republicans sit with there head up their arse.

Never forget just how useless almost Republicans are. It is better to not vote, let the progs have their way with the slim hope the sheep suffer enough to turn into wolves and burn the place down.

Freedom and freedom structures will never return as long as there are Republicans.

A lot of the left-right debate is ginned up by the globalists to distract from their take over.

The leader Justine Trudeau, and other leaders, have been following the instructions provided to them by Klaus Schwab who does the bidding for the elite,

But most people have stopped listening to their leaders when it comes to Covid-19-22, and they are starting to fight back against the tyranny.

“From a positive and unifying approach, a decision was made to wedge, to divide and to stigmatize. I fear that this politicization of the pandemic risks undermining the public’s trust in our public health institutions. >>>>>>>>>>>>>

The trust in public health institutions is GONE.

Why? Because there are million or more of Canadians suffering horribly because they cannot get scheduled heart, lung, cancer and orthopedic surgery. My wife has her right arm hangiing out of its socket and they will not operate because resources are dedicated tp Covid. WHAT CRAP. And surgeons are being purposefully starved by the socialized medicine institutions in every province, glad to be saving money by NOT paying surgeons.

Secondl;y Canadians know the vaccine does not work as advertised. We need a more decentralized model to battle this pandemic by relkeasing proven drug therapies into the hands of individual Canadians ,Canadian DOctors SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PRESCRIBE THESE OFF LABEL MEDS.

Trudeau himslef is an example, He was double vaxxed, boosted and HE STILL GOT COVID AND SPREAD IT TO HIS FAMILY.

1) MrNA vaccine does not create immunity and when the government adbvertises that they are lying , not followingthe science, There is no immunity because the mRNA vaccines do not create antdodies , there fore the so called vaccine is not a vaccine. Its an innoculation.

2) The vaccine so called does not prevent transmission. When one contracts the virus it spreads troughout the system. The mRNA vaccines to not prevent the virus from shedding as a matter of course. There is now action by the vaccine which prevents transmission.

3) The vaccine oonly worls in the blood stream. It does not work in the organs of the body such as the lung, kidney , nasal cavity pf pharnyx to fight Covid. The vaccine worls only insde the blood stream.

4) The only thing that the vaccine MIGHT Do is ameliorate symptoms of the Covid infection, depending on the amout of time that has expired since the last shot or booster. This effect does not last any longer than 5 or 6 months.

Canadians are waking up to these facts and realize that all of the lock downs, mandates and travel restrictions will never work, instead we are headed for more of the same, boosters, wave after wave of variants, wave after wave of boosters, and wave after wave of reduction of freedom by a corrupt political liberal elite. Canadians have decided to ask for their Charter Right Freedoms back.

Now the BATTLE AGAINST the virus must be fought by individual Canadians at home using highly effective off label drug therapy. This has been very sucessfull in places like Uttar Pradesh whichi had access to little or no vaccine.If this was done the Covid Pandemis where people have a 99% survival rate today, would be over.

But no, instead the Trudeau covernment is exercising a planned power grab in excess of what is alloweed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada.And THAT has to stop.The rules and regulatiopns opf Public Health are being used for a quiet socialist reconstruction of Canada.

Trudeau needs to dissolve Parliament and hold an election forth with.
