The government wants the court to declare the challenges moot because the Liberals suspended the travel mandate (barring international arrivals) on June 20, warning it could be brought back depending on circumstances, but applicants still want the case heard by a judge.

To defend the mandates the government presented 16 witnesses and experts in court case Karl Harrison et al. v Attorney General.

Jennifer Little, director general of the COVID Recovery Team at Transport Canada, wrote the travel mandate policy and testified on June 9 and 10 that neither PHAC nor its parent department Health Canada had made a recommendation for the mandate.

A Canadian government epidemiologist in charge of reviewing COVID-19 scientific literature testified in court that there is little information available on the impacts of vaccination on in-flight transmission of the virus.

Waddell testified as a government witness on May 31 in defense of the government’s vaccine mandate in travel. “There are not many studies that look at vaccination status, most of the research that’s been done occurred prior to widespread vaccination,” said Dr. Lisa Waddell of the Emerging Sciences Group at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

Waddell and her team were responsible for reviewing and assessing the evidence regarding in-flight transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. Waddell testified she considers that to be low risk.

Waddell also said that the PHAC brief did not recommend vaccination as a requirement to travel by air.

Leslyn Lewis Defends Canadian Farmers They Keep Getting Attacked by this Liberal Government https://canadianriley.com/leslyn-lewis-defends-canadian-farmers-they-keep-getting-attacked-by-this-liberal-government/ https://canadianriley.com/leslyn-lewis-defends-canadian-farmers-they-keep-getting-attacked-by-this-liberal-government/?noamp=mobile#respond Tue, 21 Jun 2022 02:36:06 +0000 https://canadianriley.com/?p=719 The cost of living has gone up for all Canadians. But for those who produce food on any of the tens of thousands of Canadian farms, they’re feeling the pinch, too, with fertilizer and diesel prices skyrocketing in recent months.

Farmers were among the first to see the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Because those two nations are among the world’s largest wheat producers, the shock to the markets was felt in Canada, with high demand and high prices for Canadian grain.

The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.

Leslyn Lewis said in the House of Commons today that Canadian farmers keep getting attached by this Liberal Government. “Canadian farmers have been feeding us for generations. They deserve our things, but instead they keep getting attacked by this liberal government.”

When Will the Federal Government End These Vindictive Mandates https://canadianriley.com/when-will-the-federal-government-end-these-vindictive-mandates/ https://canadianriley.com/when-will-the-federal-government-end-these-vindictive-mandates/?noamp=mobile#respond Wed, 08 Jun 2022 23:45:22 +0000 https://canadianriley.com/?p=289 When Will the Federal Government End These Vindictive Mandates?  The Conservatives say that the NDP Liberal government has said it will discuss changing the vaccination requirements for federal workers, but they still haven’t heard of any discussions or changes. Conservatives say that many of those who cannot work because they are not fully vaccinated have no benefits and no income and that the NDP Liberal government is continuing to break the backs of working Canadians with vindictive federal mandates.
