Perhaps unvaccinated travellers may feel uncomfortable sitting beside individuals who spent two years discriminating, dehumanising, and falsely blaming them for a pandemic that everyone carries and spreads at roughly the same rate…
Trudeau’s Canada had some of the nastiest Covid restrictions in the world, made worse by a suspension of ordinary civil liberties. At one point, Trudeau accused the unvaccinated of not believing in science, saying they ‘are very often misogynistic and racist’ before adding:
‘But that doesn’t shy away from the fact that they take up some space. This leads us, as a leader and as a country, to make a choice: Do we tolerate these people?’
Does the Prime Minister of the country have to ‘tolerate’ citizens making private medical choices? Yes. That’s a pretty basic requirement of government, unless you want to identify as a collectivist regime from the 1940s that played it fast and loose with medical consent.
Trudeau’s behaviour was mimicked by Australian state premiers and chief ministers, who sometimes verbally attacked, derided, discriminated against, incited public hatred toward, stirred fear, or misled when it came to the role unvaccinated Australians played in the pandemic long after evidence contrary to their claims came to light.
The language and actions of governments on both sides of the Pacific toward citizens – including holding them under house arrest for months on end and taking their jobs away – has never been apologised for, let alone compensated.
Our two nations, Australia and Canada, like to talk about the injustices done to Indigenous people hundreds of years ago when neither the victims nor the alleged perpetrators are alive.
When it comes to living victims of serious and sustained government discrimination, segregation, and hate speech – we hear nothing but crickets.
Who will speak out for those that held their ground against tyrannical government overreach? It’s not going to be the press. Don’t bother looking for the conservative parties. Forget the so-called ‘human rights’ lawyers.
In this world of primordial monsters, citizens can only speak for each other.

New South Wales premier, Dominic Perrottet, has initiated his own review of the process that led to former deputy premier John Barilaro being appointed to a coveted taxpayer-funded posting in New York City.
Perrottet said the results of his own review, which will be conducted alongside an upper house inquiry, would be made public.
“I’ve directed the secretary the Department of Premier and Cabinet [Michael Coutts-Trotter] to conduct a review,” he said on Thursday.
“He will provide that report to me … I will review it and I will make it public.”
Barilaro resigned from politics on 4 October.
The government announced on Friday that Barilaro had been appointed the state’s senior trade and investment commissioner to the Americas, a role the ex-Nationals leader created while trade minister.
