(LifeSiteNews) – According to recent court documents, the Liberal government’s almost nine-month ban on domestic and foreign travel for vaccine-free Canadians was not based on science.
A stunning article by the National Post’s @rupasubramanya on @bariweiss‘s must-read Common Sense News: Canada’s travel vaccine mandate was purely a political decision; the facts and the science just didn’t matter. Everyone should read and reflect on this. https://t.co/sFfjMVXPf6 pic.twitter.com/KeWszzQMWs

National Post contributor and freelance journalist Rupa Subramanya published a piece for Bari Weiss’ Common Sense substack wherein she outlined the details from newly released documents that show a lack of scientific rationale for the unprecedented ban.
She wrote that “recently released court documents — which capture the decision-making behind the travel mandate — indicate that, far from following the science, the prime minister and his Cabinet were focused on politics.”
Subramanya was referring to information that has been revealed to the public as part of a lawsuit filed by two Canadian residents against the government.
Shaun Rickard, a British citizen and permanent resident of Canada, and Karl Harrison filed a court challenge in the winter against the travel ban. Both have family in Britain and were cut off from seeing them because of the restrictions.
The two are represented by lawyer Sam Presvelos, who said, “the real focus of the case is just looking at the science.”
