Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole is blaming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s inaction on certain pandemic-related files for the state the country finds itself in, with new lockdowns, curfews, and restrictions being imposed almost two years in.
“Governments across the country had little choice but to take these steps because the federal government has not delivered on key tools to help Canadians manage the risks of a pandemic, in a population that is now largely fully vaccinated,” O’Toole said in a press conference on Jan. 6.
