Ryan Whitney’s video and public complaints about Toronto Pearson International Airport on Twitter went viral on June 6, 2022. One week later on June 13, 2022 the federal government announced that they will be lifting federal travel covid vaccine mandates. Was Whitney’s complains part of the reason the mandates are being lifted?

Conservative MP Michael Barrett calls out that Trudeau is not listening to Canadians or his doctors about lifting the federal vaccine mandates”will he (Justin Trudeau) listen to hockey player Ryan Whitney and lift the mandates. Ryan Whitney of spit and Chiclets fame to light up Twitter to make the government reacting, classic liberal big announcement little action fashion. They listened to him once, so maybe they’ll do it again. Will the Prime Minister listen to Whit and then the lift the mandates?”
