A timeline of Trudeau's speeches against unvaccinated Canadians shows his shift from warning about divisive impacts of mandates to calling for everyone to get vaccinated. He used vaccines and mandates as election wedge issues and scapegoated unvaccinated Canadians. The Freedom Convoy protested against vaccine passports and mandates, leading to blockades and occupation of downtown Ottawa. Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to end the protests. Gaslighting tactics were used to manipulate the public. All scientists and medical experts understood vaccination was necessary, but Trudeau claimed he didn't force anyone to get vaccinated.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Canada is considering requiring proof of vaccination, similar to digital passports in Denmark and the EU. However, there are challenges with this idea. While encouraging people to get vaccinated, there are those who won't due to medical or other reasons. Implementing such measures could have negative effects on the community and country, creating division. The majority of Canadians are willing to get vaccinated, which should lead to a positive outcome without resorting to extreme measures.

Speaker 0: One final question on COVID and then I'd like to pivot to the south if I may, will Canada consider requiring people in this country to have proof of vaccination similar to the digital passports that are being developed in places like Denmark and previously in the EU? Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting idea, but I think it is also fraught with challenges. We are certainly encouraging and motivating people To get vaccinated as quickly as possible. We always know there are people who won't get vaccinated and not necessarily through A personal or political choice, there are medical reasons, there are a broad range of reasons why someone might not get vaccinated, and I'm worried about creating creating knock on undesirable effects in our community.

Speaker 1: I won't back down from standing up for Canadians. The election highlights the stark differences in our approaches and the important issues at hand. While there is a small fringe element that spreads hate, the majority of Canadians do not support them. They won't dictate our policies on vaccines or the pandemic. We need strong leadership to recover our economy and keep our kids safe. Aaron O'Toole seems to take cues from these groups, but Liberals will stand up for Canadians. Speaker 2: Does attending events with anti-vaxxer protesters pose a health risk? Speaker 1: Anti-vaxxers pose a risk wherever they go, not just at protests.

Speaker 1: I can't back down From standing up for Canadians. I won't back down from standing up for Canadians. And I know that our Liberal candidates and liberal supporters across the country are made more determined In seeing just how stark the choices are in this election. I mean, for people who still wonder, you know, Whether or not we really needed an election right now, just take a look at the issues and the intensity of debate Over so many big issues that really matter to Canadians, the clear and stark differences between Our various approaches for this country. Okay. It's clear and stark differences in leadership style. Yes. There is a small fringe element in this country that is angry, that doesn't believe in science, that is lashing out with racist, Misogynistic attacks. But Canadians, the vast majority of Canadians are not Represented by them. And I know will not allow those voices, Those special interest groups, those protesters who can I totally wanna call them protesters? Those anti vaxxer mobs To dictate how this country gets through this pandemic and how we recover our economy Free from lockdowns where people can get back to work and back to doing the things they want to do and keep our kids safe. They don't get to dictate policy of this government. So It is puzzling to people to see that on vaccines and on so many other things, Aaron O'Toole is at least taking some of his cues from them. Canadians need leadership, and I know Liberals across the country are willing to stand up to ensure Canadians get Speaker 0: oh, next question. Hi, mister Trudeau. Speaker 2: You just said that you can't let the quote anti vaxxer mob dictate the future, and you also said that you can't back down. But security aside, do you not feel that your attendance at events like yesterday, where the protesters are largely not wearing masks, there's no social distancing. Does that not pose a health risk to you, your security detail, and your supporters who were there? Some of them were young unvaccinated children as well. Speaker 1: First of all, the idea that those anti vaxxers were choosing not to wear masks for the protest but were about to go Home or to the grocery store or to their, to visit their friends and wear masks is, is simply not true. They're gonna be putting people at risk wherever they go, which is part of why we're gonna make sure the people who choose not to get vaccinated don't get to get on a plane or a train, don't get to work in the public service, don't get, to, you know, by working with the provinces on vaccine certifications and mandates, Don't get to go to movie theaters or gyms, or restaurants and other nonessential services. That's how we keep people safe. And that actually is part of the choice Canadians get to make in this rest in this election. And that's why it's so important to continue To stand strong and determined on moving forward in the right way. Aaron O'Toole basically said that any of those anti vaxxers who were protesting Could be sitting across the aisle from your 12 year old on a flight south in a few months, But they have gotten tested. That's not good enough. That's where we disagree, and that is something we are going to continue To stand strongly on, and Liberals across the country, alongside Canadians who continue to know this is the way forward,

Video Transcript AI Summary
A convoy of trucks is traveling across Canada to protest the government's decision to end vaccine exemptions for cross-border work. The protesters argue that forcing people to choose between their job and vaccination is unjust. The movement has evolved, with some participants expressing frustration with restrictions and others fearing job loss if they don't get vaccinated. However, not everyone supports the convoy, as the Canadian Trucking Alliance has warned against disrupting traffic.

Despite differing opinions, one protester states that they have made their choice and do not need further persuasion.

Choosing between a job or a vaccination isn't a choice. Speaker 0: There's a change that's Happened in the composition of this protest movement.

Speaker 1: I'm a documentary filmmaker here in Vancouver, and I wanted to support the, the truckers, with this convoy that they are starting. Speaker 0: But not everyone's on board with the convoy. Canadian Trucking Alliance doesn't reported and has warned them not to disrupt traffic. Other observers say you've had plenty of warning about the rules, so come on, guys. Speaker 2: It's not that it's kinda was pulled out of nowhere. There has been an opportunity for people to get to be compliant so that they wouldn't be disrupted by it. Speaker 0: Industry advocates Say the rate of vaccination among truckers is about the same as in the general public. But being the backbone of the economy, No one knows what the cost will be sidelining the holdouts. Speaker 1: I don't need to be persuaded now. I've made my choice.

I believe it's important to unite Canadians instead of dividing them. Unfortunately, my government's tone and policies changed during the last election campaign, shifting towards division and stigmatization. This politicization of the pandemic could erode public trust in our health institutions, which is concerning. Despite Canada's high vaccination rates, we are more divided than ever. It's crucial to stop the division and distractions and instead opt for positive and non-coercive approaches.

I can't help but notice with regret that both the tone and the policies of my 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. This is not a risk we ought to be taking lightly. In this last year, Canada has reached one of the highest levels of vaccination in the world. It is something we should be proud of. It is something we should be celebrating. Yet here we are, more divided than ever. It's time to stop with the division and the distractions. It's time to choose Positive, not coercive methods.

But after weeks of dangerous and unlawful activities; after weeks of people being harassed in their neighborhoods and small businesses forced to close; after billions of dollars were stalled in trade, putting people's jobs and livelihoods at risk; after the National War Memorial was desecrated; after evidence of increased ideologically motivated violent extremism activity across the country; after a flood of misinformation and disinformation washed over Canada, including from foreign sources; after these illegal blockades and occupations received disturbing amounts of foreign funding to destabilize Canada's democracy, it became clear that local and provincial authorities needed more tools to restore order and keep people safe.”
