A Liberal MP Adam van Koeverdens apologized after saying “F— you” to a woman calling for the end of vaccine mandates.
Shameful Liberal MP Adam van Koeverden who voted to continue discriminatory mandates tells off impacted constituent. Is this the type of conduct to be expected from an MP @vankayak? Govern yourself accordingly. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/2rBCSmMc6r

“Last week, I let my emotions get the better of me and I responded in an unacceptable way to a direct message, and I regret that,” van Koeverden, who represents the Ontario riding of Milton for the Liberals, said in a social media post.
“I want to apologize to the person I offended with the message, and anyone else I’ve let down.”

It came after a Brantford-born woman, who lives in New Zealand with her new husband, asked for an apology from Milton MP Adam van Koeverden.
“Last year my grandfather died and I had to watch his funeral over FaceTime and right now my uncle’s sick and I’m not allowed to come home and see him,” she said.
For her part, Faith said “I felt bad for calling someone a disgrace, but he talks about inclusivity and diversity on his page, all the while belittling and ostracizing a large portion of Canadians, and I found it quite hypocritical.”
It’s also rude and unprofessional for any elected member to use profanity toward anybody. Even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized for swearing and elbowing in the House of Commons.
And now a contrite van Koeverden has, too.
