00:00:00.000 Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Cabinet are so disconnected from reality when it comes to COVID
00:00:10.860 travel rules. Yes, on Tuesday they dropped most many of the travel rules, although they kept some
00:00:16.780 in place and they threatened to bring everything back in the fall. And here's the thing, they only
00:00:23.440 made this announcement after immense pressure. Pressure from the industry associations, from the
00:00:29.260 airlines, from the airports, from everybody involved in traveling tourism saying, what on earth is going
00:00:34.500 on here? These crazy lineups happening at the airports, these are all self-inflicted wounds. The
00:00:40.340 government has created them. Now the Liberals tried to spin it that this was all happening because of
00:00:45.420 something else or some external force. No, it's all them bringing in these rules. So they had the
00:00:51.200 industry pretty much demanding, come on guys, we got to do this. They didn't act. Then reports came out
00:00:57.340 that pretty much every single Liberal MP was pressuring their own government to drop these
00:01:03.120 rules. Why are they in place? Can you justify them? We saw Omar Al-Gabra, he was up there Minister of
00:01:08.840 Transport in front of the cameras. He couldn't justify it. So they have their own caucus calling
00:01:13.840 saying, come on guys, you got to drop this. And then as Brian Lilly reported, sources saying Dr.
00:01:20.000 Theresa Tam attempted to drop the rules a couple times, recommended, advised the government do it. 0.70
00:01:25.620 Justin Trudeau wouldn't listen to her. So much for that whole listening to the science, trusting the
00:01:31.200 experts thing. Dr. Tam wanted to get rid of these rules and Justin Trudeau just wouldn't do it.
00:01:38.200 What is happening here? How did it come to this point? And this whole, well, we might bring them
00:01:43.020 back in the fall. What sort of like small target base of COVID extremists are they going after with
00:01:49.960 this policy? Why is it that Justin Trudeau, he just can't let himself drop the whole vilification
00:01:55.420 of the unvaccinated? How did we get to this point? Well, whatever it is, I think the public and industry
00:02:01.160 are pretty much laughing at them right now that it took this long for them to make these steps.
