@ Bold: Oh it definitely is hypocrisy. It's not just hypocrisy in this sense, but also in every other sense. On one hand he was against other peaceful protests - First Nations, farm laws, even for BLM at one point he was like they can't occupy streets like this. But here these people took over the full downtown and he just sat in his house like a coward.
He was hypocritical because even though other protests were held on weekends only and that too in emptier streets and areas, he was against those, but here he decided to let these people block off all the borders before he did anything.
And hypocritical in this final sense as well. He had so many options - call the army, order the police to arrest and break up these protests, but no he decides to invoke an Emergency.
Heck I still don't understand why he wanted to force truckers to get vaccines first. He should have mandated vaccines for health care workers and emergency workers. Truckers are by definition already quarantined and socially distanced. Go after the nurses, doctors, police officers, army, etc. who aren't getting vaccinated first!
I fully agree with you on this bit. But at this point I honestly could care less about what happens. Just get this all wrapped up with. It's making Canada look bad on a world stage - even worse than the US and enough is enough.
Vaccines shouldn't have been mandated for anyone. Period. HCW and EW are well educated I guess they can make an educated choice why does it have to be mandated for them of all people.
