Canada will be in lockstep with allies on vaccine passports: Trudeau

“We are of course looking very very carefully at this issue, even as we are in the third wave right now, dealing with extremely urgent and difficult situations. We continue to plan for how we reopen the economy, how we reopen our borders, how we get back to normal, which is something that all Canadians want to do. Obviously, as was the case pre-pandemic, certificates of vaccination are a part of international travel to certain regions and are naturally to be expected when it comes to this pandemic and the coronavirus,” said Trudeau during a news conference.

Trudeau pledges to slash greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030

Trudeau said Canada will reduce emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 — a target much lower than the one first pitched by the former Conservative government and agreed to by former environment minister Catherine McKenna at the Paris climate talks in 2015.

Terry Glavin: Canada humiliates itself once again with its shameful treatment of Taiwan’s Tsai

It is nothing if not rich in irony, this latest dramatic plot twist in the ongoing “world stage” soap opera chronicling the embarrassing ups and downs of the Trudeau government’s unrequited affections for Chinese strongman Xi Jinping. Of all people, Taiwan’s heroic president, the 64-year-old feminist and liberal Tsai Ing-wen, has been forced to endure the misfortune of being dragged into the script for this week’s episode.

Rex Murphy: Trudeau’s true face has emerged while in power, and it isn’t pretty

Rex Murphy: Trudeau’s true face has emerged while in power, and it isn’t pretty

There’s a catchy line in one of T.S. Eliot’s early poems. Actually, now that I think about it there are many catchy lines in T.S. Eliot’s early poems. Many more in fact than in his later ones.

He wrote in Prufrock “there will be time/Time to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.” It’s the latter part that stays so solidly in mind that of preparing “a face to meet the faces that you meet.” There in ten short and plain words is the essence of all political campaigning. Political parties, and their leaders particularly, are the masters of this craft of preparing their faces. Today we call it image making, or more stolidly communications strategy, or media relations.

Trudeau slams ‘disconnected’ Conservatives in sharply worded speech to party faithful

In a 20-minute virtual address to thousands of party members, Trudeau said Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole “can’t quite grasp” the struggles that Canadians have endured over the last year during COVID-19. He suggested the Tories would have been less generous with relief programs and unreliable pandemic stewards had they been in power.

BONOKOSKI: Justin Trudeau’s guinea pigs respond not so kindly

The guinea pigs have weighed in and none is too happy that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is using them as a “human experiment” in order to save political face on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.

My Sunday column on the Trudeau Liberals’ skipping the manufacturers’ recommendation to give second dose after 21 days, not Trudeau’s four months, certainly rattled the hornet’s nest.

FUREY: Public officials have failed to prepare Canadians for COVID-19

Many healthcare professionals agree that having an active and physical lifestyle, taking Vitamin D and other lifestyle choices can lessen the chance of a serious outcome if infected with COVID-19. In fact, the UK government sent its citizens free vitamin D supplements.

Meanwhile, public officials in Canada have never discussed these lifestyle choices. As a result, many Canadians are unaware and unprepared for COVID-19.

BAROOTES: Trudeau’s made-in-America obsession with guns does nothing to keep us safe

You know a federal election is in the air when a Liberal government starts to dream up a new suite of exotic and invasive gun laws.

In the past year alone, the Trudeau government has announced a federal buy-back program for a list of firearms they have now deemed to be illegal. They introduced new legislation that will allow municipalities to ban law-abiding Canadians from owning restricted firearms, which could also ban airsoft sports. And, most recently, they have introduced Bill C-22 to eliminate a number of mandatory minimum penalties for firearms offenses that keep communities safe.

For those keeping score at home, this means the Trudeau government is now treating people who obey the law like criminals, people who break the law like victims, and people who work for municipalities as if they work for the federal government instead.

Trudeau urges Canadians to take first vaccine they’re offered, says ‘the science is evolving’

OTTAWA —Just as 1.5 million doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Canada Tuesday new guidelines will restrict the number of people who can take it, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to trust the science and accept the first vaccine they are offered.

Public health officers across the country suspended the use of the Astrazeneca vaccine in people under the age of 55 over concerns the vaccine might cause rare, but serious and potentially fatal blood clots. Canada has already received 500,000 doses of the vaccine and a further 1.5 million were on route from the United Stated on Tuesday.
