(LifeSiteNews) — A number of top doctors and scientists are calling on the Canadian government to launch a public inquiry into what it calls “major pandemic failures” implemented during the COVID era.
This week, pro-vaccine doctors and scientists have joined in the call for an examination of the Canadian government’s handling of the COVID-19 so-called pandemic in a series of articles published in the prestigious British Medical Journal (BMJ).
“We wouldn’t know [the mistakes] because no pandemic inquiry has been established by [the] federal government. This is a mistake,” wrote the experts.
BMJ international editor and Canadian public health official Jocalyn Clark told CBC News that the government’s handling of the “pandemic” requires an inquiry.
“If this global catastrophe doesn’t cause the need for a deep examination… I don’t know what will,” said Clark.
“I hope the authorities don’t just sweep it under the carpet,” she continued.
“What we need is something at the federal level that’s properly legislated and governed… so that we’re doing a full comprehensive public inquiry that looks at the full pandemic response.”
The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) failed spectacularly at resisting the initial COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates that were imposed by the government on freedom-loving Canadians.
Most CPC MPs subserviently complied with Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party in creating a police-state where our Charter Rights were regularly violated, but now Pierre Poilievre would have us believe they have turned a corner and nothing like it will ever happen again.
How can they rebuild our trust? Well, they can start by owning up to their terrible mistakes.
SIGN: The CPC must apologize for abandoning Canadians to Trudeau’s COVID regime.
You will remember how freedom-loving Canadians were abandoned by the CPC, with Erin O’Toole calling for vaccine passports and most CPC MPs pearl-clutching about “vaccine hesitancy”.
That was until the party realized how popular the Truckers’ Convoy had become and got behind the movement.
It’s quite possible the CPC would still be mute on vaccine mandates and lockdowns were it not for the heroic Freedom Convoy that converged on Ottawa.
Let’s not forget the businesses, churches, schools and universities that were shuttered for months on end because of the COVID hysteria generated by politicians in Ottawa, and the CPC did nothing.
They did nothing when people started losing their livelihoods (with some Canadians even losing their lives to suicide) because of the government’s deranged policy of locking people down.
The CPC must show they have learned a lesson from the COVID tyranny Canadians needlessly suffered and that they contributed to.
SIGN: Demand the CPC apologize for abandoning Canadians to Trudeau’s COVID tyranny.
In yet another reminder of how disconnected from reality the CPC were, MPs like Leslyn Lewis, Marilyn Gladu and Rosemarie Falk were omitted from their “Shadow Cabinet” in November 2021 because they dared to question the COVID shots.
Canadians must still contend with vaccine mandates in some settings and the intrusive ArriveCAN system in order to re-enter the country, while we are among the last three countries in the world to continue discriminating against unvaccinated visitors who remain barred from entering.
As Pierre Poilievre takes the reigns of the CPC, conservative voters must demand an apology from the party that abandoned them during the COVID-hysteria of the past two years.
SIGN: The CPC can rebuild trust by apologizing for capitulating to Trudeau’s COVID tyranny.
While the scientists argued in favor of experimental COVID vaccines, they admitted that decisions made by top-level Canadian officials were marked with inconsistencies.
“The picture that emerges is an ill prepared country with outdated data systems, poor coordination and cohesion, and blindness about its citizens’ diverse needs,” they argued.
The research condemned Canada’s response to COVID in senior care centers, writing, “A particular disgrace is Canada being at the top of wealthy nations for [COVID-related] deaths in care homes for older people, despite more than 100 reports foreshadowing a nursing home crisis.”
The scientists claimed that what seemed to save Canada was a “largely willing and conforming populace that withstood stringent public health measures and achieved among the world’s highest levels of vaccination coverage.”
However, this belief seems to be ill-founded as research conducted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s own office shows many Canadians intentionally hid their COVID jab status from federal pollsters, meaning the actual jab rates may not be as high as initially reported.
The scientists further admitted that it is impossible to fully understand the mistakes made by the Canadian government as it refuses to hold a public inquiry into the government’s response to the “pandemic.”
Recently, the office of then-Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told CBC News that the federal government is “committed to a review of the response to COVID-19 in order to take stock of lessons learned and to better inform preparations and responses to future health emergencies.”
Despite his promise, the Trudeau government has yet to announce any official plans of holding an inquiry.
Canadians citizens however did establish their own independent inquiry, called the National Citizens’ Inquiry. A May session featured doctors, freedom fighters, and government employees who spoke to Canadians condemning the government’s handling of COVID.
