Arguing COVID-19 “has receded to the background of our lives,” one of Canada’s largest newspapers is calling on Prime Minister Justin to stop the “COVID theatre” after his government renewed pandemic restrictions this week.
The virus, argued the Toronto Sun editorial board, is “now being managed” among the populace “like any other similar respiratory illness.
“So why is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau digging in his heels when it comes to keeping some pandemic measures?”
On Wednesday, as the Trudeau Liberal Party government renewed a number of pandemic era rules, Trudeau insisted the “reality is, as much as people would like to pretend we’re not, we’re still in a pandemic.”
“There are Canadians who die every single day because of COVID-19,” Trudeau told reporters.
The Sun board countered: “The other reality is, as much as we’d prefer this not to be the case, this virus is now endemic – meaning that it will be around for many years to come and some people will unfortunately still die of it.”
The board noted that travel industry groups are calling on the government to remove onsite mandatory testing from airports, Public Health Agency of Canada duplicate health check questions, and remove vaccine mandates for border and airport workers.
In the Canadian Parliament, Conservative Party member Raquel Dancho of Manitoba said she recently returned from Israel, which has “moved on from COVID.”
“It was immediately noticeable when we got off the plane – no masks, no health warnings, distancing or divisive vaccine mandates,” she said.
“In Israel, people are living joyously in a post-COVID world.”
But as soon as she and her colleagues boarded a flight for Canada, “all COVID restrictions and mandates returned, and I felt the anxiety and stress of the past two years and realized the terrible impact Canadian restrictions continue to have on our psyches and how desperately people need a return to normal.”
“All Canadians can live freely once again. I’ve seen it with my own eyes,” she concluded.
“It’s time Canada moves on, too.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Last year, America’s doctors, nurses and paramedics were celebrated as frontline heroes battling a fearsome new pandemic. Today, under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of these same heroes are denounced as rebels, conspiracy theorists, extremists and potential terrorists. Along with massive numbers of police, firemen, Border Patrol agents, Navy SEALs, pilots, air-traffic controllers, and countless other truly essential Americans, they’re all considered so dangerous as to merit termination, their professional and personal lives turned upside down due to their decision not to be injected with the experimental COVID vaccines. Biden’s tyrannical mandate threatens to cripple American society – from law enforcement to airlines to commercial supply chains to hospitals. It’s already happening. But the good news is that huge numbers of “yesterday’s heroes” are now fighting back – bravely and boldly. The whole epic showdown is laid out as never before in the sensational October issue of WND’s monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREAT AMERICAN REBELLION: ‘We will not comply!’ COVID-19 power grab ignites bold new era of national defiance.”
