Maleficent 6 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been “shifting the goalposts” in justifying the lockdowns over COVID-19, while portraying as “selfish” any hopes to reopen an increasingly damaged economy, a coalition of health experts and business executives say. "The Macdonald-Laurier Institute releasedthe letter, dated May 14 and co-signed by several business and health leaders, which said 'the Liberal government has presented social distancing measures as a stark choice — either selflessly shut down the economy to save lives or selfishly worry about the economy and condemn thousands to a vicious illness.' But that approach oversimplifies the decision facing governments, and “is being pursued at an almost incalculably large cost to the well-being of Canadians,” according to the letter, which was co-signed by 24 health professionals and business executives. "'The rationale for the lockdown seems to have morphed subtly from managing the outbreak by ‘flattening the curve’ to preventing the illness from infecting Canadians at all, pushing the timeline for a return to some economic activity into the summer and a return to ‘normal’ a year or more into the distance,' the letter said." https://vancouversun.com/news/business-and-health-leaders-accuse-trudeau-of-shifting-the-goalposts-for-reopening-economy/wcm/e9335cea-3f92-42e3-8ffc-5dd0df0a8c5c/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can also see him stepping down for Freeland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
