Conservative Leader @erinotoole says we shouldn't "be risking" progress in the pandemic for political gains
@erinotoole He says Trudeau is asking for a majority after doing the "bare minimum" in government and equates the Liberals with the NDP and Greens with their visions to spend more public money.
@erinotoole O'Toole tried to paint all other parties as big spenders, and argued the Conservatives would better manage Canada's finances while supporting economic growth if they win power.
O'Toole promises to balance the budget "over the course of the next decade."
He says they will help the economy grow, and that will help balance the gov't budget.
Asked about the government's decision to make vaccines mandatory for public servants and plane/train passengers, O'Toole says vaccines are important and people should get their shots. He says he supports testing and masks for unvaccinated.
Asked again, O'Toole says Conservatives believe people should make their own decisions on vaccines, which he encourages people to take.
O'Toole doesn't say whether all Conservative candidates will need to be vaccinated, but says the party will work to follow health advice amidst "election being called for no reason other than political gain by Mr. Trudeau."
Asked about the party's strange Charlie and the Chocolate Factory attack ad, O'Toole says they're presenting a "serious" plan to voters in the election.
O'Toole says there are "sad events" in Afghanistan today, and for many veterans "it's horrible" to see the Taliban taking control again. He says Canada must work with allies and the Conservatives would "stand up" for human rights if they win power.
