Hahahaha….you poor programmed Father Government loving statists.
Appropriate ”public health and safety measures“ are speed limits, intoxication limits while driving and the like….Government depriving citizens of earning a living, forcing citizens to wear a silly face diaper that doesn’t work and take medicine they don’t want in their bodies is nothing short of tyranical.
Granted, if I were a Father Government loving statist like you I wouldn’t perceive such as tyranny either.
We don't have a "Father Government", we have a "Servant Government". Their job is to management government resources with our best interests at heart, in an honest and ethical manner. Trudeau gets an A+ in the former, and an F in the latter, and that is why he currently heads a "minority government", and not a landslide majority.
When the pandemic hit, the federal Liberal government, and the 7 Conservative held provinces all put aside the usual partisan bickering and worked together coordinating resources, and strategies that resulted in 1/3 of the death and disease in Canada compared to the USA, and one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. Trudeau bought so much vaccine it's a public embarassment. We're swimming in the stuff.
Canada never ran out of PPE, our hospitals were never "overwhelmed", although it was a near thing after Christmas 2020, and early 2021, until we got sufficient supplies of vaccine, and started getting shots in arms. Our Conservative province of Alberta tried the US approach of no mask mandates and no lockdowns and before the election last fall, admitted that such tactics had utterly failed the people of Alberta, and the that their hospitals were now overwhelmed. They changed tactics.
The convoy failed because your average Canadian may be fed up with lockdowns and masks, but we know they worked. The convoy just an excuse for out of work truckers to go on a drunken two week cross country road trip, and scam money from the gullible.
Notice how there's always a fund raising arm to these "Free-dumb" initiatives.
