On vaccine passports, Trudeau says provincial passports will be an "interim measure, that will perhaps last a year or so, before (the feds) bring in a formalized passport version" #cdnpoli https://t.co/L3nCNkaBhO pic.twitter.com/DOtbiAa5Pk

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he “might have” been hit by gravel thrown by protesters at an election campaign stop in London, Ont., on Monday.
Trudeau was leaving the event when he was surrounded by angry protesters, some of whom appeared to be throwing handfuls of gravel and debris at the party leader.

Now the Liberal leader has turned his hopes towards guns
Justin Trudeau is looking for something he can use to scare people. He needs it badly. After six years in power, his Liberals don’t have a record they feel is sound enough to win them re-election, so they’re seeking someone or something to attack.
“… Oh, how times have changed.
Over the course of the campaign thus far, O’Toole has managed to flip the script, striking an even tone and an earnest approach to politicking. The Liberals, on the other hand, have committed unforced errors again and again, by attacking the Conservatives in a tone that seems bizarrely insecure for a party that has been in power for six years.
The approach took a turn for the worse when Liberal candidate Chrystia Freeland was slapped with a “manipulated media” warning by Twitter for spreading a misleading video of O’Toole. And there was more. The Liberal campaign machine also waded into the swamp, releasing a video that assigned the Tory leader the Trumpian nickname of “Two-Tier O’Toole,” among other things.”
With three weeks down and only 13 days until the election, it may be that the real campaign is only now beginning. The Liberals must hope so, while the Conservatives may be concerned about having peaked too soon.
The Conservatives led the Liberals at the long weekend by 36-33 per cent in the daily Nanos poll, an uptick of two points for the Grits since Thursday’s French debate on TVA.
The federal Liberals are promising legal protection for businesses asking for proof of COVID-19 vaccination from staff and customers.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau discussed the platform promise and other proposed supports for businesses and workers at a Labour Day campaign stop in Welland, Ont.
He says his party will table legislation if re-elected that will ensure organizations can require immunization without fear of legal challenges.
John Ivison: O’Toole’s reversal on gun policy may save his campaign
Erin O’Toole delivered his morning press conference with his back to the Burrard Inlet but in political terms, his back was to the wall.
The Liberals have found their wedge — gun control — and have been hammering it home with gusto. Justin Trudeau said on Sunday that O’Toole wants to take the country backwards on gun control. O’Toole has had difficulty registering a counter-argument because the platform he waves around with abandon is clear – the Conservatives will maintain the 1977 ban on automatic weapons but repeal the order-in-council from May 2020, in which the Liberals outlawed many semi-automatic weapons. The Conservative leader has argued his position is clear, but the only clarity was that the Liberals and the media would keep poking at this open sore until election day.
As the federal election campaign gets tighter, a new poll provides hints on where the parties could see their support grow or shrink — and appears to show a growing split in the progressive vote between the Liberals and the NDP.
The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News suggests that split could create an opening for the Conservative Party, which not only has the most locked-in support but is also seen as the campaign with the most momentum.
Interesting to note media’s take on a potential Trudeau downfall. Everything other than one good reason for a fall from grace: the man has never stopped playing favourites.
It goes like this: Canadian-born citizens are racists. 3rd World-born immigrants are victims. Anglophones are bigots. Muslims are victims. “Old Stock” Canadians are homophobic, Gays are victims. Christians are genocidal, Aboriginals are victims.
Note the absence of historical context. Throughout Justin Trudeau’s parade of community apologies, was there ever an instance of placing Canada’s “national shame” within the context of its time?
Never is your answer. For Trudeau–or whoever programmed his brain to behave in this manner– a present-day Canadian is as guilty as one who walked our backwoods in 1867.
The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Erin O’Toole, promised a federal proof-of-vaccine system if his party gets elected, which means that those who support civil liberties are going to be left with few options as all major parties support the invasive practices.
Let’s say you used to be the popular kid who got invited to all the posh parties? When you walked by, everyone would stage whisper (so you could hear) how marvelous your wardrobe was.
They all wanted selfies with you. They texted their friends so say they’d seen you – almost shook hands with you. Everything you did seemed so “woke,” so “2015.”So, what if you still come off as so “2015” when it’s 2021?
What if you’re a one-trick pony. And that trick – your “woke-ism” – increasingly comes across as condescending, repetitive, spoiled, preachy, shallow? Dare I say, even hypocritical?

Unfortunately there are just enough voters to give the national embarrassment called Trudeau a second minority.

After days of question about his party’s gun policy, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole said Sunday he would maintain a Liberal ban on ‘assault-style’ firearms if he forms government.
“I want to make my position on firearms perfectly clear. First, the ban on assault weapons will remain in place. Second, the present ban on a number of other firearms that were reclassified in 2020 will remain in place,” he told reporters in Vancouver.
At a French-language debate on Thursday, O’Toole said he would maintain a ban on assault weapons.
A gaffe perhaps but not a mortal one.

Federal employees who do not comply with vaccine mandates “will face consequences,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has warned, exercising political muscle and flagrantly backtracking on his original promise that Canadians could make up their own minds about whether to take the Covid-19 injections. So far, the threat against the unvaccinated has not provoked the depth of backlash we’ve seen in countries such as France and Greece. But the risk of “consequences” applies equally to the public at large, as Dr. Denis Rancourt of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association makes clear in his compelling A Letter to the Vaccinated, following upon his earlier A Letter to the Unvaccinated.
The first letter, reviewed in an earlier article for The Epoch Times, presented a premonitory overview of government COVID policy.
