Prime Minister Justin Trudeau caused a tumult on Feb. 16 during question period as he responded to a Conservative MP who is Jewish by saying her party stands with people waving swastikas. Trudeau was asked to apologize repeatedly but he did not.
MP Melissa Lantsman used her time in question period to contrast words said by the prime minister in 2015 and those said more recently when he disparaged people who don’t have COVID-19 vaccination.
“’A positive, optimistic, hopeful vision for public life isn’t a naive dream. It could be a powerful force for change. If Canadians are to trust their government, their government needs to trust Canadians.’ Those are the words of the prime minister in 2015,” Lantsman said.
She then cited Trudeau’s more recent characterization of those who don’t want to get COVID-19 vaccination in a French-language interview in 2021, and his more recent remarks on those protesting against COVID-19 mandates in Ottawa and other parts of the country.
“These people, ‘very often misogynistic, racist,’ ‘women haters’, ‘science deniers’, the ‘fringe’—same prime minister six years later, as he fans the flames of an unjustified national emergency. So, Mr. Speaker, when did the prime minister lose his way? When did it happen?”
