Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has popped his head out for a bit to talk about the vaccine mandates that inspired a horde of truckers to drive to Ottawa to protest. Trudeau actually seems to show some empathy for the protesters for a second, explaining that he knows how frustrating it’s been to live under COVID-19 for two years. But then he adds that the beatings will stop when morale improves.

“I understand frustrations with mandates.”
Narrator: He completely failed to understand frustration with mandates.

If that were true we would have no mandates now.

It’s honestly painful listening to this guy speak.

Within a month or so all mandates and restrictions will have been dropped in almost every country in the world. I can see lockdowns in Canada and Australia (and China) going into 2023 however.

Our situation is one of personal responsibility given the mildness of this variant. We don’t need these measures in their current form. Where there is risk on an individual, there should be a choice. We ought to maximize that freedom and not restrict it in bad faith.

Hey!!! We just want to take away a little bit of your freedom so we can have freedom. Is that too much to ask?

Just two weeks to slow the spread, honest!

"Current restrictions are the only way we can ensure we don't have to bring in restrictions. Because we don't want any restrictions. That's why we need these restrictions."

Most of Canada’s already vaccinated anyway — he ought to be happy. But he’s dug in and has no way out.
