Trudeau government invoked cabinet secrecy on COVID quarantine hotel decision, shielding it even from court

On the final day of the court hearing before Chief Justice Paul Crampton, lawyers for the federal government said the information available to cabinet was the best available during a hectic time as new variants of COVID-19 were spreading.

The decision would have been based on scientific data “while the knowledge was still evolving, with respect, for example, to transmissibility, virulence of variants or the impact of vaccines. The uncertainty is acknowledged, and a cautious approach was taken,” Stewart Guthrie said. Sharlene Telles-Langdon, who leads the federal government’s defence, said the stakes during a pandemic are exceedingly high and require limitations on freedoms.

“Curfews, stay-at-home orders, mandatory business closures, limitations on gatherings, at times prohibitions from gathering with anyone outside your own household — all of these measures engage individual’s liberty interests in order to protect public health.

Now JT will create quarantine hotel for his own personal use. I think he and his cronies who use it should pay for the privilege. But we all know that won’t happen.

Why would you need to do this? Transparency is not a word with this government even though he promised it.

Transparency at its finest...🙄
