Member of Parliament for the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton and front-runner in the CPC leadership race has published a scathing open letter penned for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau..In his letter of March 7, Pierre Poilievre criticizes Trudeau for his indifference on the restoration of Canadians’ civil liberties after many provincial COVID-19 mandates, for the greater part, have been lifted..There were several pointed mentions of Trudeau’s pandemic policies being unscientific and severe..“While provincial mandates have rolled back considerably, they have had nothing to do with your leadership. Nor have you made any meaningful move to end your unscientific and punitive mandates,” wrote Poilievre..The letter strongly encouraged Trudeau to end all the country’s federal mandates and demanded unvaccinated Canadians be allowed to return to the jobs that were taken from them and to have their lost pay returned, with added compensation..Poilievre also demanded the Liberal government rescind its current vaccine mandate requiring truckers to be vaccinated in order to haul goods across international borders. He suggested a meeting of all provincial premiers take place so leaders can achieve consensus in order to create mutually agreeable, efficient timelines for the lifting of all restrictions and to end vaccine passports and mandates.. Poilievre chastizes Trudeau in open letterCredit: Jean-Francois Benoit/CBC/Radio-Canada .He also made it clear Trudeau should “state clearly that there will be no tax on the unvaccinated.”.“Mr. Trudeau, countries around the world have taken major strides in restoring all the rights and freedoms that have been infringed on during this pandemic. Canada has taken only baby steps. It is time for you to make things right, after your divisive and unscientific approach for the vast majority of the pandemic. You must end all federal vaccine mandates, and state clearly that there will be no tax on unvaccinated Canadians,” he wrote..In the letter, Poilievre accused Trudeau of creating fear between neighbours, and “calling decent people horrible names and destroying people’s livelihoods based on their personal health choices.”.Poilievre closed in his letter with a stinging indictment on Trudeau’s allegedly egocentric approach to vaccine policy and attitude to the trucker protest..“Do not allow your spite towards the trucker protest to stand in the way of doing the right thing. This is not about saving face. Your pride and ego come after the public interest. Prime Minister, the power trip is over. Give people back control of their lives. You are their servant and not their master. And let us commit to making Canada the freest country in the world,” he concluded..Poilievre is campaigning for election in the September 10 leadership race for the Conservative Party of Canada..Meanwhile, Mark Strahl, the Tory MP for Chilliwack-Hope, has thrown his support behind Poilievre..Amanda Brown is a Western Standard reporter
