Dear Editor,
Goodbye, Mr. Van Popta.
Re: [Local MP backs anti-mandate convoy, Langley Advance Times, Feb. 3]
If a mask mandate is government over-reach, what are the laws which:
• Ban the sale of narcotics
• Ban smoking in public buildings
• Compel the education of children
• Ensure the provision of healthcare for all
• Compel wearing of seat belts in vehicles
• Prohibit driving under the influence of alcohol
• Protect the water supply
• Ensure properly constructed buildings
• Tax income, consumption and assets
Etc., etc.
Is it a freedom fight to block freeways, transmit life-threatening diseases, dance on the grave of soldiers (he was a freedom fighter, desecrate a memorial to Terry Fox (also a real freedom fighter), obstruct the lives of tens of thousands who live and work in Ottawa, and the other major centres?
If they are freedoms, then the majority of the population has the freedom to not vote for you – and remove your mandate to “represent” us.
