OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – The federal government under Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dropped a last remaining COVID-related mask mandate that forced Canadian taxpayers to don facemasks to access essential services such as getting a passport at Service Canada offices.
The decision to drop the masking mandate at Service Canada offices was made quietly public by top members of Trudeau’s cabinet this week, but the decision to do so only became known after pressure from Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MPs.
Service Canada is the federal agency that runs the country’s passport program as well as social assistance programs such as Unemployment Insurance.
According to CPC MP Rosemarie Falk, who represents the riding of Battlefords-Lloydminster in Saskatchewan, her office had been flooded with calls asking why there was still a mask mandate in place at Service Canada offices.
“My office is receiving an increasing number of phone calls with respect to limited services that are available to them through Service Canada,” Falk said during a House of Commons human resources committee meeting held earlier this week.
According to Falk, she noted a complaint from one of her constituents “who was turned away and refused service for not being masked despite having a medical exemption.”
Falk grilled the Liberal MPs present at the committee meeting, asking “Why is a mask mandate appropriate for Service Canada but not necessary in other federal government settings?”
Social Development minister Karina Gould responded to Falk, telling her, “My understanding is masks now are encouraged but are not required.”
Falk shot back at Gould, telling her, “That’s a policy change?” to which Gould replied, “That’s been a very recent policy change.”
Gould confirmed with Falk that the COVID-related masking mandate for Service Canada offices was suspended as of February 10. She gave no reason as to why the mask mandate was only lifted now, and why those who did not wear a mask were denied service.
The Trudeau government had a mandatory COVID-related masking mandate in place for air travel as well in all federal buildings from April 2020 until October 2022.
During some of that time, vaccine-free Canadians were also outright banned from all air and train travel, both domestically and internationally.
While making mandates for COVID were dropped at all federal institutions last fall, Service Canada kept its masking policy in place.
Service Canada also last year had at least 249 workers placed on leave under its vaccine mandate.
As early as September 2022, Trudeau was claiming that a federal mask mandate was in place on the advice of scientists and the recommendation of public health officials.
However, Canada’s Public Health Agency never officially recommended masking for COVID be made mandatory.
Dr. Howard Njoo, deputy chief public health officer, said in January 2022 that the agency wanted people to be “informed and make that a voluntary choice,” and that people should be “encouraged” to wear a mask but that it does not have to be because of a “mandate.”
The WHO Pandemic Treaty looks set to be one of the biggest power-grabs in living memory, with unelected globalists seeking the power to declare pandemics, and then control your country's response.
But it's not too late to do something about it.
SIGN and SHARE this special petition telling Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that the WHO will never usurp your nation's sovereignty.
The past two years have been rife with infringements on personal liberties and civil rights by national governments, but now the World Health Organization is seeking to appropriate those same abusive powers to itself at a global level.
194 member states representing 99% of the world's population are expected to sign pandemic treaties with the WHO that would allow Tedros, or any future Director General, to dictate exactly how your nation would respond to a new disease outbreak which they consider a pandemic.
This attack on national sovereignty will come as no surprise to those who for years have listened to elites like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates discussing their vision for the centralization of power into globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF), the WHO and the rest of the United Nations.
SIGN this petition against the WHO's Pandemic Treaty, before it's too late.
Ludicrously, 20 world leaders calling for the treaty, including Tedros, Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron, compared the post-Covid world to the post-WWII period, saying similar co-operation is now needed to "dispel the temptations of isolationism and nationalism, and to address the challenges that could only be achieved together in the spirit of solidarity and co-operation - namely peace, prosperity, health and security."
Australian PM Scott Morrison is the latest leader to express support for a “pandemic treaty”.
The stated intention of the WHO is to “kickstart a global process to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”
The wheels are already in motion, with the Biden administration officially proposing the initial steps towards handing global pandemic control to the WHO.
Biden's representatives have submitted amendments to the WHO's International Health Regulations (IHR), which would give the Director General the right to declare health emergencies in any nation, even when disputed by the country in question.
These amendments, which would be legally binding under international law, will be voted on by the World Health Assembly (the governing body of the WHO) at a special convention running from May 22-28 and set the stage for a fully-fledged pandemic treaty to be passed.
SIGN and SHARE the petition telling the WHO that you won't accept any pandemic treaty
The ball has been rolling since the last World Health Assembly meeting in December, where the United States launched negotiations "on a new international health instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response," a U.S. statement read.
"This momentous step represents our collective responsibility to work together to advance health security and to make the global health system stronger and more responsive.
"We look forward to broad and deep negotiations using a whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach that will strengthen the international legal framework for public health/pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response and enable us to address issues of equity, accountability, and multisectoral collaboration evident in the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We know it will take all of us working together across governments, private sector, philanthropy, academia, and civil society to make rapid progress towards a long-term solution for these complex problems," the U.S. statement added.
SIGN the petition today to show the WHO that you won't accept this attack on national sovereignty.
These are precarious times in which freedom and self-determination must be defended from those who would ride rough-shod over your civil rights.
We do not want to go back to global lockdowns, vaccine mandates and propoganda.
Sign the petition - speak up now!

Multiple studies have proved masking to be ineffective at limiting the spread of the coronavirus. Other studies have shown that prolonged masking is even associated with negative health effects.
Many Canadians who were ticketed for not wearing a mask have fought back in the courts, oftentimes with success.
Just recently, a 76-year-old man who was arrested and charged after WestJet flight crew members in 2022 reported him to police because his facemask was off for a time during the flight, was successful in court in having his charges thrown out.
