Juno News - Compilation of Justin Trudeau “uniting” Canadians

00:00:00.000 If you don't want to get vaccinated, that's your choice.

00:00:04.080 But don't think you can get on a plane or a train besides vaccinated people and put them at risk.

00:00:10.080 The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa

00:00:15.800 or who are holding unacceptable views that they're expressing

00:00:20.360 do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there.

00:00:25.640 Concerns expressed by a few people gathered in Ottawa right now are not new, not surprising,

00:00:33.600 are heard, but are a continuation of what we've unfortunately seen

00:00:38.040 in disinformation and misinformation online, conspiracy theorists about microchips,

00:00:44.700 about God knows what else that go with the tinfoil hats.

00:00:48.160 Conservative party members can stand with people who wave swastikas.

00:00:51.960 They can stand with people who wave the confederate.

00:00:55.140 I will also be very clear when people are trying to push politics of fear and indeed intolerance.

00:01:03.580 That's something that Canadians expect of me.

00:01:06.280 That's something that I will always do.

00:01:07.360 I have attended protests and rallies in the past when I agreed with the goals,

00:01:13.280 when I supported the people expressing their concerns and their issues.

00:01:17.260 I am sure the people who choose not to get vaccinated don't get to get on a plane or a train,

00:01:24.100 don't get to work in the public service,

00:01:27.320 don't get to, you know, by working with the provinces on vaccine certifications and mandates,

00:01:33.000 don't get to go to movie theaters or gyms or restaurants.

00:01:36.220 I don't believe in science, who are often misogyny, who are often racist as well.

00:01:40.540 It's a small group, but who takes place.

00:01:44.340 And there, you have to make a choice as a leader, as a country.

00:01:48.600 Do we know what we're talking about?

00:01:50.720 So yes, even at the risk of knowing that people thought I might be waving at those anti-vaxxers

00:01:56.040 who I was basically ignoring,

00:01:58.540 because I won't respond to anger with anger,

00:02:01.520 I'll just ignore them.

00:02:06.220 Thank you.
