John Ivison: Trudeau shows liberal principles have left the Liberal Party – By John Ivison (National Post) / January 12. 2022
True liberals can believe the vaccine-hesitant are factually, or even morally, wrong, without seeking to punish them. True liberals believe individuals should not be forced to conform
There’s not much that is liberal about today’s Liberal Party.
At a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday, Justin Trudeau was asked bluntly whether he supports Quebec Premier François Legault’s anti-vax tax – a proposal that is at first blush unfair, illegal and unconstitutional. In his reply, he spouted nonsense like an accident victim.
“It’s not to avoid answering a question,” he said, as he avoided answering the question.
The federal government has received Legault’s proposal of a “significant” tax on the unvaccinated with interest, he said, but needs more details before it can comment.
