DO WE TOLERATE THESE PEOPLE? A Brief Timeline of Justin Trudeau's Hateful Speech Against Unvaccinated Canadians v1.1 🧵👇
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
October 21, 2019 The Liberals win a 2nd consecutive federal election, but only achieve minority government status. March 11, 2020 The World Health Organization declares that COVID-19 has become a pandemic.

January 14, 2021 “We always know there are people who won't get vaccinated. And not just for personal or political reasons. There are medical reasons and a broad range of other reasons. [Vaccine mandates] could have real divisive impacts on community and country.”
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
August 15, 2021 A mere 2 years since the last election—hoping to turn his minority government into a majority—Trudeau calls a snap election. Sources within the Liberal Party later describe Trudeau's conscious decision to use vaccines and mandates as election “wedge” issues.

Wedge Politics 101 1.Identify a minority ('the unvaccinated') 2.Cast them as others ('they don't represent Canadians', 'they're racists') 3.Depict them as scapegoats ('they're standing in the way of getting back to normal', 'they're putting us and our kids at risk') 4.Divide

Scapegoating 101 The practice of singling out a person or group for unmerited blame and consequent negative treatment. A hostile tactic employed to characterize an entire group according to the unethical or immoral conduct of a small number of individuals within that group.

August 17, 2021 Trudeau announces virtually all federal public servants must be vaccinated or face workplace repercussions. "If anyone doesn't have a legitimate medical reason for not getting fully vaccinated — or chooses to not get vaccinated — there will be consequences."
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
August 19, 2021 "If you don’t want to get vaccinated, that’s your choice. But don’t think you can get on a plane or a train beside vaccinated people and put 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 at risk. (...) Yes, you need to get vaccinated so that we can protect our kids who can't yet get vaccinated."
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
August 27, 2021 Trudeau promises a re-elected Liberal government would provide $1B to provinces to pay for vaccine passports, a move which—just 7 months earlier—he warned "could have real divisive impacts on community and country." https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-promises-1b-vaccine-passports-1.6155618
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
August 31 2021 "They're putting 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 kids at risk and they're putting 𝙤𝙪𝙧 kids at risk. That's why to travel you're going to have to be vaccinated. So families with kids don't have to worry someone in the next seat or across the aisle is putting them in danger.
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
2/ "... And we're going to pay for the development of those privileges that you get once you get vaccinated. Because everyone needs to get vaccinated. And 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 people [points to protesters] are putting us all at risk."

September 6, 2021 "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 the vast majority of Canadians are not represented by them."
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
September 10, 2021 “Trying to bring people together is not always compatible with science, with respect for human rights (...) You don't have a right to endanger others.”
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
Sept 17, 2021 3 days before the election Trudeau appears on French TV show La semaine des 4 Julie. “They don’t believe in science or progress and are very often misogynistic and racist. This leads us, as a leader and as a country, to make a choice: do we tolerate these people?”
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
October 6, 2001 Trudeau unveils his mandatory vaccine policy for all public servants, federal contractors (such as cleaning staff), the RCMP and would-be travelers who wish to board planes, trains or marine vessels. All of these groups must be fully vaccinated by October 30th
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
January 5, 2022 “When people see cancer treatments and elective surgeries put off because beds are filled with the unvaccinated, they’re frustrated. When they see we’re in lockdowns right now because the risk posed to all of us by unvaccinated people, they get angry.”

January 23, 2022 The first vehicles of the Freedom Convoy depart Delta, BC and begin the journey to Ottawa along the Trans-Canada highway.
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
January 26, 2022 As the Convoy approaches Ottawa and attracts supporters who clog highway overpasses, Trudeau states: “The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views (...) do not represent the views of Canadians.”
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
January 26, 2022 The Freedom Convoy release 4 official demands: 1. The federal and provincial governments terminate the vaccine passports and obligatory vaccine contact tracing programs. 2. Terminate mandates and respect the rights of those who wish to remain unvaccinated.
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
...con't 3. Cease the divisive rhetoric attacking Canadians who disagree with government mandates. 4. Cease to limit debate through coercive measures. https://facebook.com/realFreedomConvoy2022/posts/pfbid0VivSki1pAsGL5R1Qp5teQCfMwqL6gnjNDzHLzqqpGd44z1zHjkKAFR9kbHBoFCQml https://www.facebook.com/realFreedomConvoy2022/posts/pfbid0VivSki1pAsGL5R1Qp5teQCfMwqL6gnjNDzHLzqqpGd44z1zHjkKAFR9kbHBoFCQml

January 29, 2022 Big rigs began to block downtown traffic and tens of thousands of supporters converge near Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

February 1, 2022 "Freedom of expression, assembly, and association are cornerstones of democracy; but Nazi symbolism, racist imagery, and desecration of war memorials are not. Hate can never be the answer. I want to be very clear: we are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers and steal food from the homeless. We won’t give in to those who fly racist flags. We won’t cave to those who engage in vandalism, or dishonor the memory of our veterans. All Canadians have the right to express their opinion or disagree with their government. But they do not have the right to threaten or harass their fellow citizens, nor to spread messages of hatred. There is no place in our country for threats, violence, or hatred. So to those responsible for this behavior: it needs to stop. And to Canadians at home, watching in disgust and disbelief at this behavior, wondering how this could have happened in our nation’s capital after everything we’ve been through together: this is not the story of the pandemic, of our country, of our people.

February 2022 The Ottawa protest continues unabated for 3 weeks. Trudeau refuses to meet with the protesters. Unaffiliated protests appear throughout the country, including blockades of the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor and the border crossing in Coutts, Alberta.

Feb 8, 2022 "It's time to stop pitting one part of the population against another. Both the tone and the policies of my government changed drastically during the last election campaign. A decision was made to wedge, to divide and to stigmatize." —Liberal MP Joël Lightbound

February 14, 2022 Trudeau invokes the Emergencies Act "to end border blockades* and the occupation of downtown Ottawa" by protesters. *(all blockades had been cleared 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 the EA) The Act gives banks temporary powers to freeze accounts.
@stevlandambrose - Stevland Ambrose 🇨🇦☠️🇺🇲
February 21, 2022 “We didn't want to use the Emergencies Act. It's never something to turn to without serious consideration. 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.”

January 17, 2023 “When you react to social media you may find yourself exacerbating people’s strongly held opinions. A really good example of this [was the PM’s] decision during the last election campaign to use vaccine mandates as a wedge issue.” —Liberal MP Bill Morneau

Recap In 2021 Trudeau said mandates “could have real divisive impacts on the country.” 7 months later: “Everyone needs to get vaccinated. Those people are putting us 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴 at risk.” And 2 years after that he claims he didn’t force anyone to get vaccinated.
