There is a legitimate discussion taking place in both Canada and the US on whether or not the quarantine laws are too restrictive or not, but as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a role, not only as of the leader to the country but also as a role model.
Displays of leadership can take various manifestations, and Canada is experiencing two opposites in Prime Minister Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Whereas the former is marshalling legions of bureaucrats and his two most trusted advisors, Dr. Tam and Minister Hajdu, Ford, who is under similar constraints, is also actively engaged in the relief effort.
Wexit as a movement is predicated on the distrust of the federal government and their seeming favouritism of come provinces over others. The Liberals embolden this feeling even more when during a pandemic, Canadians are seen to be valued lower than everything foreign.
Bordman: This is living proof that trusting the UN to arbitrate any aspect of Canadian life, whether it deals with human rights, the environment or immigration is a dangerous game. Not only is the UN biased and nonsensical, but it is also immoral.
The new emergency measures act proposed by the Liberal government seemed to touch on both of these issues in an unsettling way. The initial bill would have granted Finance Minister Bill Morneau the power to bypass parliament and tax and spend at will all the way up until the end of 2021.
The gun bans and regulations that the Liberals have been pushing for since the 2019 federal election have been made even more ridiculous and misguided since the spike in sales occurred due to COVID19 pandemic.

I’m no expert, but I am pretty sure owning more toilet paper doesn’t lower your chances of getting COVID19, especially if, in a blind toilet paper fuelled panic, you gather with hoards of other people and rub up against one another to buy massive amounts of products you likely already have enough of.
In 2017 the rules only required candidates to raise $100,000 and get 300 CPC member’s signatures and they had half a year to do it. By lowering the timeframe to raise money to 10 weeks, tripling the donation goal, and multiplying the signatures goal by 10, there is no way of interpreting the CPC’s new rules as anything but a way of keeping out the grassroots candidates.
The number in favour of reducing current immigration levels has increased from 2018. Two years ago, iPolitics’ Anna Desmarais discussed an Angus Reid poll that asked 1,500 Canadian adults to complete an online survey asking their opinions on immigration. The study found 49% of respondents, marginally less than half, wanted to reduce immigration.
