Support Roman Babar’s Jobs or Jabs Bill — Protecting Unvaxxed Workers from Punishment
The vaccine passports and mandates were never based on science. They don’t prevent transmission and no one is putting others at risk. While passports and mandates are fizzing out seemingly everywhere, Canada’s rule of law is under assault by political and partisan thuggery. I will say more on Justin Trudeau below, but do not absolve Doug Ford. Last Friday, February 11, 2022, Doug declared a State of Emergency under the EMPCA. This is despite the Automotive Parts Manufacturers obtaining a Court Order to clear the Ambassador Bridge on the very same day. You may have missed it, but two days earlier, the Ford Government obtained a Court Order freezing the Truck Convoy’s donations as an “offence related property” (See @rpoconnor tweet).

What kind of democracy freezes donations by deeming them an “offence related property” retroactively? Do not let Doug Ford off the hook, from this day forward he should be known as Doug Trudeau. Despite preaching “health before small business” weeks earlier and being “in favour of vaccination” when asked if he supported the mandate for truckers, a week later, in a typical Doug Trudeau fashion, Doug did an about face. Doug now says that “it doesn’t matter if you have one shot or two shots, you can catch Covid” and “everyone is done with this” – as if we had amnesia for the last two years. Remind your friends that Doug Trudeau is the world champion of lockdowns. It’s becoming widely acknowledged that lockdowns and school closures did not save lives.

That’s why Ontario is ranked 4th in Covid deaths per million, among Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. Despite elimination of provincially mandated passports, Doug Trudeau will allow businesses and institutions the ability to continue to use passports. While the provincial directive to hospitals and post secondary institutions will likely be lifted on March 1, many hospitals, institutions and other employers will choose to maintain the mandates. We must continue to fight this 21st century segregation.

On Thursday, March 3, 2022, my Jobs & Jabs Bill is coming back to the Legislature for Second Reading. The protection afforded to unvaccinated employees by my Bill is retroactive to September 1, 2021. We must put pressure on Labour Minister, Monte McNaughton to support the Bill.

Given Doug Trudeau’s new position on vaccines, there is no reason to oppose Jobs & Jabs and everyone should be back at work. I ask that you help me in two ways: this week, please email, tag and call Monte McNaughton at 519-245-8696, to ask that he support my bill on March 3rd; and help us get numbers by emailing my Jobs & Jabs Petition to your entire network, to advocate for passage of my Bill on March 3rd. We are at over 150,000 signatures and we should grow this number to demonstrate electoral strength before June 2nd.  Onto Justin Trudeau. I have never been so sad about Canada’s democracy. The use of the Emergencies Act does not pass the smell test and certainly does not meet the conditions for the Declaration. The Act requires that the Emergency is a critical situation that: seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians; exceeds the Province of Ontario’s capacity to deal with it; AND cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada. Whether one supports the Truckers or not, forceful clearing of peaceful protestors with horses, batons and armed tactical police present, left a permanent stain on our country. The traffic disruption created on a handful of streets in front of Parliament could have been addressed without the Declaration of Emergency. Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in its existence to remove a hot tub, bouncy castles and peaceful loving Canadians because he knows that he lost on the science and arguments for mandates. He is now acting like a tough guy to save his narcissistic ego. Failing to narrow the scope of the order to freeze bank accounts left a permanent stain on Chrystia Freeland, Bill Blair and Marco Mendicino. Shame on them for threatening everyday Canadians by designating donations retroactively. I have one solace. This constitutional and cultural crisis was created by Justin and political lackeys like Doug Trudeau. Canada’s spirit, kindness and respect for the Rule of Law are greater than these two bullies. We can and will overcome these challenges. I have confidence in Canada’s and Ontario’s electoral democracy – “the people get the government they deserve”. We can restore our democracy by voting them out. My greatest wish for this Family Day is the healing of divisions between family and friends. Covid grifters and bullies taught some Canadians to fear one another. Families are needlessly broken. I invite you to watch my 50 second video, including Thursday’s statement by Dr. Isaac Bogoch, that he “doesn’t treat unvaccinated people as infected until proven otherwise – that would be unfair.” Please watch and share on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. These difficult times will pass. Wishing all of you a happy, peaceful and restful Family Day.

Always yours truly,
