“But this doesn't mean that we're not going to be calling out highly questionable, reckless economic ideas. What Canadians need is responsible leadership. Buzzwords, dog whistles and careless attacks don't add up to a plan for Canadians. Attacking the institutions that make our society fair, safe and free is not responsible leadership. Fighting against vaccines that saved millions of lives, that's not responsible leadership. Opposing the support and investments that have helped save jobs, businesses and families during the pandemic, that's not responsible leadership.”

“Pierre [Poilievre] is a career politician who has been collecting a six-figure salary on the public's dime since he was 24, and he's spent every minute of his time in office fighting against fair wages, good pensions and a better life for working people. He is not a worker, and he definitely doesn't get what it means to be a member of the working class.”

“Canada is an active part of an important mission in the North Pacific to ensure that the sanctions applied to North Korea are properly enforced and the fact that China would have chosen to do this is extremely troubling. We will be bringing it up directly with Chinese officials and counterparts and ensuring that this doesn't continue to be part of an escalatory pattern.”

“To be effective in solving complex problems, interstate dispute, or war; you have diplomacy, you've got economics, you've got humanitarian support, and you have got the military. Canada has been active in diplomacy, by the way diplomacy obviously has failed because otherwise Putin wouldn't have attacked. Economic; the sanctions (are) valuable but they are not stopping the Russian battlegroups from grinding away and essentially killing Ukraine citizens. Humanitarian support is after the fact where you try to remediate the damage and the tragedy. We have done a good job at bringing refugees to Canada. I am told about 10,000 Ukrainians so far, some medical supplies. But on the military side we are lacking. For 5 years Canada did not allow Ukraine to acquire weapons from Canada. That was a conscious government decision because they were asking. And then when the push came to shove 3 days before the attack we send a couple boxes of weapons and then some old anti tank systems and then some other stuff and then now we've stopped again. As well we only have 600 troops in Europe right now and we are talking of a need of multiple thousands. So to demonstrate leadership we've got to do more. Not just in the first three areas I mentioned but also in the military side because if we don't deter Putin he may try something else.”

“Tariffs and retaliation and sanctions are the most effective when you can devise policies that have the maximum impact on the counter party whose attention you are seeking to get, and do the minimal damage to yourself. So far, sanctions have been structured to avoid harming Canadian business interests. If we are truly determined to stand with Ukraine, if the stakes in this fight are as high as I believe them to be, we have to be honest with ourselves, I have to be honest with Canadians, that there could be some collateral damage in Canada and that's something that the G7 finance ministers discussed very early this morning. I cannot announce those additional measures today. We are discussing them, we are working with our partners and allies. We have suggested many things, as have our allies. We believe that the most effective thing to do is to work together to announce measures together and we will continue to do that.”

“Over the past few days, Canadians were shocked and frankly disgusted by the behaviour displayed by some people protesting in our nation's capital. I want to be very clear: We are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers and steal food from the homeless. We won't give in to those who fly racist flags. We won't cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonour the memory of our veterans. To anyone who joined the convoy but is rightly uncomfortable with the symbols of hatred and division on display: join with your fellow Canadians, be courageous and speak out - do not stand for or with intolerance and hate.”

“Omicron is moving so quickly that it has become pretty much impossible to pin down the full extent of spread in real time. PCR testing capacity is overwhelmed. Rapid antigen tests [RAT] are inconsistently available. Those with positive RAT results often have no way to register them let alone confirm them.”

“The province has little choice but to change its isolation protocols due to the meteoric spread of the Omicron variant, which has created staff shortages. The health system cannot maintain services while nearly 7,000 workers are home isolating because of a positive COVID-19 test or exposure to the virus. Omicron's contagion is so exponential that a huge number of personnel have to be withdrawn, and that poses a risk to the network capacity to treat Quebecers.”

“We have data out of the UK that suggests that there may be an intrinsic mildness to Omicron as compared to Delta but it's not by a lot, and the hyper contagiousness of Omicron means that even that mildness probably won't protect the health care system. So that is why we have to curtail transmission as much as we can. A tiny fraction of a large number, is still going to be a very large number.”

“This is really about a harm reduction approach. So no matter what the new restrictions will be, there will be some who will not change their behaviour and want to see their family and friends. So wouldn't it be better to test and find COVID before the person enters the gathering or the event? We know that people's mental health has deteriorated and many people are emotionally burned out. So rapid antigen testing can be used to ease people's anxiety about whether they have COVID. It's not going to go away very quickly, this pandemic, so people need to start to feel more confident in going about their daily lives.”
