Si nous voulons gagner la lutte contre la COVID-19, nous devons prendre des mesures basées sur des faits et non sur la désinformation et la peur. FAIT : Les frontières du Canada sont fermées aux voyages non essentiels depuis plus d'un an. ⤵️
Il y a 16 mois, le Canada est devenu l'un des premiers pays à appliquer des mesures de dépistage renforcées à la frontière pour détecter la COVID-19, bien avant que l'OMS ne déclare une pandémie mondiale. Ces mesures s'appliquent maintenant à tous les voyageurs.
Nous avons adapté notre réponse à l'évolution de la menace pour la santé publique. Lorsque le variant britannique a commencé à se propager dans le monde, nous avons suspendu les vols en provenance de ce pays.

We have to take action based on facts and evidence—not fear and misinformation—if we want to win the fight against COVID-19. FACT: Canada’s borders have been closed to non-essential travel for more than a year. Thread ⤵️
It’s been 16 months since Canada became one of the first countries to enforce enhanced screening measures at our border to detect COVID-19, long before the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. These measures now apply to all travellers.
We adapted our response as the threat to public health evolved. When the UK variant started its spread around the world, we suspended flights from that country. Today, there are NO direct flights landing in Canada from COVID-19 hotspots, such as India and Pakistan.

Aujourd'hui, cela fait un an que notre gouvernement a choisi d’en faire plus que d'offrir seulement des pensées et des prières en réponse à la violence liée aux armes à feu.
Le 1er mai 2020, nous avons pris des mesures décisives pour interdire la vente, l'utilisation et l'importation de 1 500 modèles d’armes à feu de type assaut conçues pour un usage militaire.
Au Canada et dans le monde entier, nous avons vu des exemples des tragédies que la violence par armes à feu peut causer - à l'École Polytechnique de Montréal en 1989, à Québec en 2017, et plus récemment en Nouvelle-Écosse l'année dernière.

Today marks 1 year since our government chose to do more than offer only thoughts and prayers in response to gun violence.

On May 1, 2020, we took decisive action to prohibit the sale, use, and importation of 1,500 assault-style firearms designed for military use.
In Canada and around the world, we’ve seen examples of the devastation that gun violence can cause – at École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989, in Quebec City in 2017, and most recently in Nova Scotia last year.
Of the Five Eyes countries that have prohibited these firearms, none have experienced a single mass shooting this year.

Our plan to remove these dangerous firearms from our communities and keep Canadians safe is working.

Nous savons à quel point la pandémie de la #COVID19 a été difficile pour les petites entreprises. Aujourd'hui, j'ai rencontré Mike et Jen, propriétaires de @littlechiefdog à St Catherines, pour discuter de la façon dont leur entreprise a été touchée par la pandémie... Image
... et comment le #Budget2021 aidera les propriétaires d'entreprises comme eux.

La pandémie évolue, nous aussi. Le #Budget2021 prolongera la Subvention salariale d'urgence du Canada, la Subvention d'urgence du Canada...
...pour le loyer et l'indemnité de confinement jusqu'en juin 2021 pour aider les propriétaires de petites entreprises à traverser cette dernière étape de la pandémie.

In his campaign for the Conservative leadership, Andrew Scheer sought support from the gun lobby. He took their money & votes & in exchange promised to lift restrictions on large capacity magazines so that assault rifles could shoot dozens of bullets without having to be reloaded
He promised to give the gun lobby control of the reclassification of weapons. He promised to weaken background checks. His members have said they want to “normalize” the AR 15 assault rifle, to make it unrestricted.
He talks tough on crime but when it came time to support police with new funding for guns and gangs initiatives, he voted against it. He voted against enhanced background checks. He has vowed to weaken gun laws.
