Federal government to abolish covid-19 travel mandates
The Issue
It is time for the federal government to end all travel mandates requiring proof of vaccination. Canada, it’s federal government, is the ONLY country in the world to still be holding to these mandates. These mandates impede over 3 million Canadians from leaving their provinces and country. Families can’t join others in mourning, on trips, these mandates prevent people from seeking medical/health treatments that are not offered in their home province, and the list goes on. According to an article in the National Post By Ashley Hughes, Special to National Post “Almost every country in the world now allows its unvaccinated citizens to fly internationally, except for Canada. Even New Zealand and Australia — two of the most COVID-locked down countries on earth, relinquished such control last month.”
“Canada is now a solo traveler on the international stage when it comes to travel mandates for planes and trains — measures which increasingly appear to be punitive rather than backed by any evidence or logic.
As of May 16, the European Union no longer mandates face masks for air travel. This follows the removal of the federal mask requirement on public transport in the United States, after a federal judge ruled such mandates are unlawful.”
“Meanwhile, Canada still has its closed-sky COVID policies firmly in place. The Trudeau government remains wilfully, even vindictively, stubborn in easing its tight grip on the few remaining restrictions within its control — namely, vaccine and mask mandates on federally regulated transport, including air and rail.
Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, the federal government is living in a parallel universe, totally out of step with almost any other western country, and even its own provincial governments. Canada’s vaccine mandate on domestic travel puts it in the company of North Korea and China.”
There are more than 3.5 million citizens who remain unvaccinated not because they are being selfish, which is the political message, but because of their beliefs. Unlike the vaccinated, they believe a vaccine’s role in ending a global pandemic has its limits.
That is a significant minority robbed of their fundamental rights — rights enshrined by Pierre Trudeau’s Charter — “to enter, remain in and leave Canada.”
The Trudeau administration continues to spout the tired and utterly discredited line of “we are following the science,” but what science is this? That line is an ideology itself — a blind belief in some sort of vague definition of “the science.”
“How about common sense? Pragmatically speaking, if this is evidence-based public health policy, shouldn’t federal politicians be asking why “Canadian science”
is so different from that followed by the country’s own provinces and much of the rest of the world, save for communist China?”

This is a call to action for the Federal Government to end the mandates that are unnecessary, unconstitutional and does not follow the science anymore.
