M Lightbound is no ordinary back-bencher, but chairman of the powerful Québec caucus of the Liberal Party of Canada. If the Gliberals lose Québec, they will lose the country. So M Lightbound's refusal to toe the party line is serious!
Speaking to reporters just as a meeting of the Trudeau cabinet got under way, the dissident MP accused Blackie McBlackface of "demonizing" people who have legitimate criticisms of the way the Wuhan flu pandemic is being managed. He said the government must provide Canadians with "a clear and measurable road map" detailing when federal restrictions -- lockdowns, mandates and other authoritarian measures -- related to the pandemic will be lifted.
M Lightbound accused the Liberal government of having no desire to adapt its policies to reflect the evolving science of the pandemic. He went on to say that Canadians are "confused" to see other countries with lower vaccination rates dropping all restrictions, adding that residents are left wondering where Canada is heading.
Many fed-up Canucks are far from "confused", and will tell anyone who asks that the direction in which their country is being taken is hard left, then straight down the drain. The question now is whether M Lightbound's challenge to Emperor Trudeau II will be echoed by others within his own party, such that he will be forced to resign. `Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.
Even as M Lightbound spoke, Scott Moe, the Premier (roughly equal to a US governor) of Saskatchewan, announced that his province's vaccine passport system will end at midnight Sunday, making Saskatchewan the first province to the most restrictive public-health measure adopted to contain the kung flu.
Premier Moe said mandatory indoor masking will remain in place until the end of the month. He called on residents to “heal divisions” created over the vaccine passport system, which he said "effectively created two classes" of citizens. At his presser this morning, he said, "I knew that this policy would create deep divisions." But, he said, the benefits of the restrictions no longer outweigh the costs.
But wait, there's more! The truckers' protest has once again closed the border with the USA at Coutts AB. And a new blockade has closed the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit with Windsor ON. Truckers in both places say they are in for the long haul, and will only go home when M Trudeau admits he's been wrong and orders an end to all vaccine mandates.
Yesterday, I would have said the chances of the Liberals heeding the voice of the people were slim and none. But M Lightbound's conversion must surely give hope to the millions of Canadians yearning for freedom from control of their lives by the leftist nanny state.
