Erin O’Toole rebuked CPC MPs on Monday for spreading confusion about vaccination, CP reports. I was responding, in part, comments from Marilyn gladu, who said that COVID does not present the same “frequency of risk” as polio.
“There is a big difference between advocating for your constituents who may need reasonable accommodation,” O’Toole said. “Its too different to cause confusion regarding the health and well-being of Canadians. Ms. Gladu’s interview did that yesterday and is Inappropriate at one point we should be answering questions about vaccine vacillation, not creating new questions. “

O’Toole has declined to say how many of his MPs are not vaccinated. History overshadowed his attack on Trudeau by considering a government deal with the NDP.
Trudeau attacks: Justin trudeau, presiding over his party’s first caucus meeting since the election, attacked the CPC vaccination confusion, but did not mention talks with the NDP about a possible government deal.
O’Toole warned that any such deal would be bad for the economy: “This coalition will create billions in news spending that will further drive inflation.

Such an arrangement would typically require the NDP to pledge support on key trust issues like budgets, but if the New Democrats relinquish all no-confidence voting rights, the Liberals could stymie many of Parliament’s demands.

“I think the industry and the government have really failed,” Allan said. “It was a brilliant campaign,” he continued, referring to activism opposing Alberta’s oil industry. “It was a brilliant strategy. It was well executed and everyone can learn from it. “
Threat of inflation: At Mail, Kelly McParland he worries that Canada’s leaders are too young to understand the dangers of runaway inflation.
Too deferential: At Hill times, Susan Riley take a cold eye about politicians who are going crazy to walk away from confrontations with healthcare workers without strings attached.
