An Ottawa family doctor who organized mass COVID-19 vaccination clinics earlier this year has received a death threat and she is asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to do more to protect health-care workers facing similar risks.
The threat was contained in a letter, viewed by The Canadian Press, that was sent to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, the regulatory body for the medical profession in the province. “Physicians can play an important role by advocating for their patients in a socially accountable manner and frivolous or vexatious complaints are not a risk to their professional standing with the ,” the statement said.
During the recent federal election campaign, the Liberals promised to bring in new criminal sanctions for anyone blocking access to vaccine clinics, hospitals, testing centres and abortion clinics, as well as for anyone intimidating or harassing health-care workers. The NDP had previously made a version of that pledge. Both promises were made as demonstrators were gathering outside hospitals to protest against proof-of-vaccination systems and other public health measures.
Do Prime Ministers provide protection for the public? Is that not the role of the city or provincial police?
Sir, We need your assistance as IRCC has halted FEDERAL SKILL WORKERS DRAWS without any notice,skilled workers including doctors, nurses, engineers,and scientists are stuck in Express Entry Pool,it is requested to please resume draws or just notify us about it SeanFraserMP
meanwhile poor people are dying destitute and homeless on our streets and our affluent professionals aren't doing enough in that regard, are they they? classism irresposability
Terrible circumstances for this brave physician but federal laws already fully protect against death threats. We always need good laws in place but that does not mean they can prevent the actions of those who are criminally minded.
Sue_Innovates The PM could care less about you... what a fool.
THIS! Bought and paid for CPC DougFord REFUSES to ACT and call for a VaccineMandate for Ontario healthcare workers so they HAVE to reach out to the FederalLiberals for LEADERSHIP and PROTECTION.
Prim Minter lol. No proofreading
Covid deniers are the dregs of society.
nurses have been threatened and assaulted for decades. this isn't new.
kkirkup Wow.
Have you tried calling the police? Do you really think the PM has time for your particular case?
Canada like America?
The idea that special intervention by PM is needed rather than competent public safety authorities dealing w/ threats is...not how it's supposed to work.
What a load of crp, in order to introduce more censorship. Anyone still believe this narrative? It's laughable. How about do some investigative reporting and write about the adverse effects the jab has, especially in youths.
Did she go to the police first?
