(LifeSiteNews) – People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier proclaimed over the weekend that he is happy he made the “rational” decision to not get “their” COVID vaccines.
“Despite all the pressure, coercion and persecution from authoritarian governments, I freely made a rational decision not to get their ‘vaccine.’ It’s my body,” Bernier tweeted Sunday.
“I am still alive and in great shape!”
For well over a year, Bernier has been vocal against both COVID lockdown rules as well as mandates imposed by the Canadian federal and provincial governments.
For the past two weeks, he has been in the far eastern Canadian Maritime provinces on tour to promote his PPC as an alternative for Canadian voters.
Bernier made it a point that his trip to eastern Canada had to be completed by car because he was not jabbed and it was the only way he could travel there.
Last fall, the government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau put in place a mandate that in effect bans those who have chosen not to get the COVID vaccines to travel ban by air, rail, or sea. The travel vaccine mandate bans Canadians from flying within Canada as well as out of the county.
However, enforcement of the rule is the responsibility of airlines, some of which offer paths for medical and religious exemptions.
In March, the federal government eased some COVID rules for travelers who have had the jabs, but it refused to budge on dropping its ban on the vaccine free.
On May 3, after many Canadian politicians took to Twitter to claim they were pro-abortion considering the U.S. Supreme Court’s draft leak indicating the Roe v. Wade would be overturned, Bernier had this to say.
