Vaccination Mandates and Public Safety

If you don't wanna get vaccinated, that's your choice.

But don't think you can get on a plane or a train besides vaccinated

people and put them at risk.

The small fringe minority

of people who are on their way to Ottawa or who are, uh, holding

unacceptable, uh, views, uh, that they're expressing

do not represent the views of Canadians who have been

there for me. Concerns, uh, expressed by, uh, a few people, uh, gathered

in Ottawa right now, uh, are not new, not surprising,

are heard, but are a continuation of, uh, what we've

unfortunately seen, uh, in, uh, disinformation and

misinformation online, conspiracy theorists, uh,

about microchips,

about, you know, God knows what else that go with the tinfoil hats.

Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas.

They can stand with people who wave, uh, the Confederate- I will also,

uh, be very clear, uh, when, uh, people are trying to

push politics of fear and indeed intolerance.

Uh, that's something that Canadians expect of me.

That's something that I will always do.

I have attended protests and rallies in the past,

uh, when I agreed with the goals, when I supported the people,

uh, expressing their concerns and their issues.

I'm gonna make sure the people who choose not to get vaccinated don't get to get on

a plane or a train,

don't get to work in the public service,

don't get, uh, to, you know, by working with the provinces on vaccine

certifications and mandates, don't get to go to movie theaters or gyms,

uh, or restaurants. So yes,

even

at the risk of knowing that people thought I might be waving at

those vac-

anti-vaxxers who I was basically ignoring, 'cause I

won't respond to anger with anger. I'll just ignore them.
