The Prime Minister has been quarantined for the past 60 days, and yet he still finds time to wear a black face mask. Why is this a good idea? And why does it matter that he's wearing it in public?

00:00:00.000 The image of the Prime Minister emerging from the basement of Riedel Cottage for his daily
00:00:10.020 sermon from the Mount has become pure theatre. Boring nonetheless, but theatre. This week he
00:00:19.140 deviated from his normal hectoring Canadians about coronavirus and not answering questions
00:00:25.600 from his preferred media to commenting on the rioting that occurred in Minneapolis with
00:00:33.640 no sense of irony he said quote anti-black racism racism is real it's in the United
00:00:40.360 States but it's also in Canada end quote. What? More than once he used the term anti-black
00:00:50.320 racism. He then said quote I call on all Canadians whether it's anti-black racism
00:00:56.480 or anti-Asian racism or racism discrimination of any type to stand
00:01:01.700 together in solidarity to be there with each other and know just how deeply
00:01:06.520 people are being affected by what we see on the news these past few days. Well
00:01:12.700 that's rich coming from someone who has worn blackface at least three times in 0.92
00:01:17.380 his adult life at least one of which was a top to bottom makeup job complete with
00:01:23.440 a banana in his pants. The virtue signaling coming from the Prime Minister is
00:01:28.780 nauseating. From living in Riedel Cottage only emerging once a day to make an
00:01:35.060 appearance in his driveway to say not much of anything to appearing once at
00:01:40.820 Parliament Hill last week wearing a large black cloth mask. No one else in his
00:01:47.060 security detail was wearing a mask and frankly he looked like an idiot. But
00:01:53.480 that's not unusual his whole self quarantining in Riedel Cottage for now
00:01:59.900 over 60 days has been nothing but virtue signaling writ large. Theoretically he is
00:02:06.980 trying to convince Canadians this is an appropriate response to health officials
00:02:11.540 advice about how to act during the current pandemic. This is in spite of the
00:02:18.800 fact that Chief Medical Officer Dr. Theresa Tam has been flip-flopping all over the 1.00
00:02:25.160 place since early February. This is not a serious problem she started telling us
00:02:30.300 there's no need to wear a mask. Then in May she said a mask is recommended. Let's be
00:02:36.320 realistic since the outset of this thing the predictions and the computer
00:02:40.880 modeling have all been wrong. The majority of cases have come in long-term care
00:02:46.520 facilities and those people almost universally have underlying health
00:02:50.600 conditions that make them more susceptible especially in a close
00:02:55.100 contained indoor facility. People have had enough of staying home. Open up the
00:03:00.980 economy now and let's get back to normal. Enough is enough. And mostly enough of the
00:03:09.260 virtue signaling. For True North, I'm Leo Knight.
