‘While millions of Canadians were kept from spending the Easter weekend with their families due to the federal travel mandates, I am encouraged by the rising movement to bring back equality for all Canadians. Courage is contagious!’ MP Leslyn Lewis said.
(LifeSiteNews) — Conservative MP and leadership contender Leslyn Lewis again blasted a Canadian federal travel ban by air, rail or sea for those who do not have the COVID injections, this time saying such a dictate is “segregation” and not at all “science” based.
“I think it’s very important that if we when we look at the science and we’re all sitting in this room, I don’t know who’s vaccinated, and I don’t know who’s unvaccinated, and we’re all sitting here,” Lewis said last week while on her leadership tour in Kelowna, British Columbia
“But if we all went to the airport and we decided that we’re going to get on a plane, some people in this room could get on and some people can’t. And that’s not science. That’s segregation. And so that’s why I oppose those things.”
Lewis said that one has to be “courageous at some point and know that when you’re standing up for what’s right that you continue.”
“I’m so happy now that a few individuals like myself and a few others were courageous enough to stand up, and now others feel that courage because courage is contagious,” Lewis added.
“I believe in personal responsibility, but I don’t believe in segregation.”
Lewis posted a video clip of her comments made April 12 in Kelowna over the Easter weekend, saying, “While millions of Canadians were kept from spending the Easter weekend with their families due to the federal travel mandates, I am encouraged by the rising movement to bring back equality for all Canadians. Courage is contagious!”
