When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced the latest claim that he was politicizing the pandemic and dividing Canadians, he couldn’t fall back on his usual response that those opposed to him were racists and misogynists.
This time the claim was coming from one of his own, Joel Lightbound, a Quebec Liberal MP who told the world on Tuesday that Trudeau had gone too far.
“I can’t help but notice with regret that both the tone and the policies of my government changed drastically on the eve and during the last election campaign,” Lightbound said.
“From a positive and unifying approach, a decision was made to wedge to divide and to stigmatize.”
Lightbound said this politicization is undermining support for public health institutions. It’s what I’ve been saying for some time now, so it was refreshing to hear it coming from a Liberal MP — and he said he’s not alone inside the Grit caucus.
Trudeau seemed flustered outside of the House of Commons when asked by reporters for comments.

Watch:
Who knew, a Liberal could grow a spine. They see the water rising and thought to grow a pair, might help them float. Ive got push pins enough for everybody, not to pyhsically hurt any of them but to pin them to their voting record. BTW, by a very narrow margin, the mps voted to stop spying on the public’s cell phones. You know the thing the public was never suppose to find out about. I really look forward to seeing that list. Elections do come along you know.
We will be hearing a lot of mia culpa from many corners of politics, msn, media in general and herds of karens and kens. Getting found out is not the same as the road to damascus. One just needs to look, not that carefully, the spots are still there, like a rash, waiting for the next time.
