Liberal MP Kevin Lamoureux has sparked controversy with his remarks praising the Canadian government for marginalizing millions of unvaccinated Canadians during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, attributing their stance to being 'far-right'. Lamoureux's comments, which were made in the context of defending the divisive ArriveCan app and criticizing its detractors as part of the 'MAGA-Conservative far-right', have been met with backlash from various quarters. Critics accuse Lamoureux of promoting division, discrimination, and hatred towards a segment of the population based on their vaccination status and political beliefs.
'The MAGA conservative ‘far right’ is coming out,' said Liberal MP Kevin Lamoureux when asked about the cost of ArriveCan studies. 'These are the ones that still deny the pandemic,' he added. MORE: https://t.co/B1eEwbDPSJ https://t.co/35Q7BQRgsU
