HOW WOULD YOU GRADE THE PROVINCE'S COVID-19 RESPONSE AND WHY?

F.

The COVID-19 response promoted fear and hysteria while the science behind lockdowns and mandates was vague and misleading. Small businesses should never have closed and personal choice regarding vaccines and masks should have always been honoured. Restrictions were adept at promoting corporate/political interests and ignored the negative physical and mental health effects of individual persons.

Simple immune boosting remedies, such as vitamin D, were ignored.

IF ELECTED, I PLEDGE TO: always vote against mandates and unnecessary government overreach. I will promote parental choice in education and all matters. I recognize that the brokenness and corruption in our political system is inherent in our institutions and I would be willing to go further than most to correct it.
