Re: 'We've had our backs pushed against the wall': Newmarket mom explains why protesters are following Liberal leader, Sept. 8, 2021; and Angry protesters mar Trudeau visit to Main Street Newmarket, Sept. 6, 2021; and LETTER: Media should expose bigoted campaign mob going from town to town, Sept. 6, 2021.
You know, this is absolutely not even about the current federal election.
It is all about anti-vaxxers, who are totally against getting vaccinated and totally against any government controls or sanctions set to stem the flow of sick people.
The anti-vaxxers have targeted a candidate in the federal election who has done his very best, along with most provincial premiers, to stop this tidal wave of people in Canada getting sick and dying from COVID-19 and the new delta variant.
You know what I say to anti-vaxxers? Get the vaccine and shut the hell up! When you get the vaccine, it is for the good of all society. As Premier Doug Ford, Health Minister Christine Elliott and our federal government authorities have said all along, this is the only way out of this pandemic.
The anti-vaxxers following Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau on the campaign trail are simply and purely very selfish. Throwing gravel at him proves they are not really worthy Canadians, in my opinion. And now have proven they will resort to violent behaviour.
And if you don’t like Canada any more, move to the United States, which has hit more than 40 million cases now.
And while I am at it, stop harassing our hard-working medical professionals on the frontlines who have worked tirelessly for almost two years to deal with you idiots who refuse to get vaccinated and end up in ICU, filling our hospitals to capacity and causing much needed surgical operations to be cancelled.
I simply can’t believe how tolerate Canadian society has become, to actually allow these despicable demonstrations in a federal election. And one actually took place in downtown Newmarket, one of the most culturally-diverse little towns in all of Ontario.
I say to the authorities, like the London police who are now investigating the gravel-throwing incident, throw them all in jail.
