Clearly, because you are more likely to harm other people with a car. Your only risk with your house is your own financial ruin. Is COVID a communicable virus that you can harm others with? Seems like COVID is more like a car than a house, yes?

I agree. But isn’t the criticism by Conservative supporters of Trudeau that he was “just a drama teacher”? The drama teacher seems to have way more work experience than Pierre Poilievre, no?

I agree. But you think they are decided on the whims of a trucker potest? Why would I trust them with my rights?

I should ask someone else why you, the moderator, gave me a penalty point for thread derailment? Do you think they’d know?

What would the costs have been if hospitals were further overwhelmed than they were?

Why did you introduce vaccines, when we were discussing PPE?

The saviour of the 10%?

Do you think the issue of the virus being easily transmissible makes it a little different than skydiving, or something else that could only harm yourself? Also, individual safety is mandated all the time, isn’t it? Helmets? Seatbelts? Steel toed boots?

In this case, wouldn’t it be better to mandate masks that work better, rather than eliminate all masks?

When they mandate rabbits feet and garlic cloves, please get back to us, ok?

You think I’m the one who has the authority to dictate health protections?

A small group of self-appointed Charter Enforcers gets to determine what they are? You still haven’t answered where they get their authority.

We should worry about how they make us look? Can you show us the “science” of useless masks?

It’s the science that’s important. If you, as a climate change denier don’t believe the scientists, why would I ever trust your judgement to interpret the science for vaccines/pandemics?

A small group of *whatever they are* gets to decide how the remainder’s Charter Rights are managed? Again, where do they get their authority?

Do you believe in the scientific consensus on climate change?

Masks don’t work at all?

A small group of unvaccinated truck drivers and Confederate flag waving wannabe revolutionaries decides on what my Charter Rights are? Where do they get their authority to do this?

You and a small band of rebels get to decide when democracy is over?

Can’t they? Why not?

Capital under siege? I will grant you some hyperbole…. When there’s a siege by a small minority looking to take over governance from the democratically elected authorities, should the strategy be appeasement?

Is it fair to put the burden only on those who are willing to do all they can to be safe? Isn’t this why we mandate car insurance and seatbelts and a host of other things? To “force” people to live in a society together and share the burden?

Do you think proclamations are a good way to resolve issues? Couldn’t I just as easily say the same thing?

Are you under the impression that’s what I think? Or are you making up a political bogeyman to avoid the question?

An MP since he was 24 years old. Conservatives - is “real world” experience important in a PM?
