calling on the government to end prosecutions and refund fines paid by Canadians who didn’t use ArriveCAN, and apologize for having required the glitchy app in the first place.Article content So was it politics or science that pushed the government to act? Like the virus itself, that science has evolved over the past two years. In some ways it is worse than we thought: a study published in July on 5.6 million US veterans found thatthat you can catch multiple times without long-term consequences; each bout of infection increases your chances of heart problems, fatigue, digestive and kidney disorders, diabetes and neurological problems.
At the same time, it’s not clear how much difference the mandatory wearing of masks on airplanes and proof of vaccination will curb infection when most transmission is now domestic. Around the world, there is little consistency in approach. Australia is dropping its mask mandate on planes at the end of this month. Germany is extending its mask mandate until April 2023. Canada is dropping its requirement for proof of vaccination. The United States is maintaining it. And so on.
Tasha was supporting Jean Charest in the leadership race over Pierre Poilièvre and was also preaching lockdown on a Quebec radio show…Just saying!
Economic issues will easily replace mandates as winning issues for the CPC…
Tasha seems to think Canadians will forget what was done to them. The political repercussions of the last 2 years will never disappear. Canadian politics has changed forever.
It's only a 'double edged sword' if Canadians act as fruit flies and forget what was done to them.
I never supported the app. Great it's gone. Now we can focus on the impossible math of Pierre's economic proposals. Pierre wants to decrease debt by decreasing revenue? Tax cuts for high income takers always leads to more debt. Pierre needs to be more specific about your CPP.
I will NEVER vote Liberal. I wont forgive or forget the names, bullying, hate speech & lies. Trudeau says he supports US women’s right to choose & Iranian women while he segregate & calls Canadian women names for wanting the same freedom of choices. TrudeauMustGo cdnpoli
“the Liberals have implemented (read: stolen) many of their policy ideas over the years and reaped the electoral rewards.” That is why PierrePoilievre is keeping his policy ideas close to his chest. Do you think he will let the public forget why the Covid regs were removed?
Voters may be as fickle as Tasha claims but the economy is not exactly a strength for the Liberals either.
