TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) — An outspoken Ontario politician marked Tuesday, when Trudeau’s mandate banning all unvaccinated Canadians from plane and train travel went into effect, as “one of the worst days in Canada’s history.”
Roman Baber, an Independent Member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario, and an avid defender of medical freedom, slammed Progressive Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford in the legislature Wednesday for not defending millions of his citizens against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s policy that has banned the unvaccinated from air, plane, and sea travel.
“My question is to the premier,” opened Baber, addressing his question to the Conservative Government House Leader, Paul A. Calandra. “Yesterday was one of the worst days in Canadian history, the federal government, the premier’s new ‘bestie’ Justin Trudeau, denied about 15 percent of Canadians from boarding a plane or a train.”
“The premier and I made a different choice [the choice to get vaccinated], and we all agree that it’s still a choice, and if the vaccine works, then the premier and I are protected, and if it doesn’t work, then why are we denying Canadians basic mobility rights?” asked Baber.
Further explaining his opposition to the discriminatory measure, Baber said, “Millions of Canadians are now landlocked in their own country. We are all Canadian. We teach children not to discriminate, and we don’t discriminate because of people’s medical choice.”
“My question to the premier,” continued Baber. “Will he stand up for more than one and a half million of [unvaccinated but age] eligible Ontarians, and oppose Justin Trudeau’s travel ban?”
After his question, Baber was met by a prompt “No” by Calandra on behalf of Ford. He stated that Ontario “understands” how “important it is, especially with this new variant,” that Ontario put “all measures in place” to keep citizens “safe.”
“We welcome the move by the federal government, and we will redouble our efforts to make sure all Canadians, and all Ontarians, are vaccinated.”
Despite the near ubiquitous support for medical discrimination by both the Conservative and Liberal factions of Canadian politics, Brian Peckford, the last living co-author of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, recently lamented the governments’ actions as “unconstitutional” and says measures like the travel ban are an infringement of each citizens’ protected rights.
“You and I, as citizens of Canada, have the right to travel anywhere in Canada, and even leave Canada. That’s a right! Enshrined in the supreme law of Canada,” explained Peckford in a seminar last month, referencing the “Mobility Rights” under Section 6 of the Charter. “It’s amazing when you look at what’s going on now to think, that the government would even attempt to violate these things.”
“I never thought in my wildest dreams, that the day I am now a part of would ever come.”
