In Canada, the Gov't placed and enacted protocols based the recommendations of top health care professionals.
A democracy is about votes. Discussion at Parliament.
Did your Modi spend his days visiting and chatting at Sikh/farmer protests?
No? he eventually visited a Sikh Temple. Why didn't he go to the protests like you want Canada's leader to do?
Were Sikhs/farmers protesting for the right to spread a deadly disease that is killing millions? No, just wanted a different pricing mechanism.
Yes Modi's govt did have numerous discussions with farmer groups all along.
Rest everything regarding their rights to protest etc etc can be discussed but NOT having a dialog is utterly unacceptable.
In India, it's not the govt which gave up on talks, it's the farmer groups which eventually stopping coming for talks.
saying govt acted on recommendations of top health care professionals is a complete cop out.
We all know how sections of these professionals have behaved during the pandemic and how their recommendations have panned out.
I am all for vaccines BUT a vaccine which is supposed to provide immunity have evolved into second dose, 1st booster, 2nd booster and now "vaccine" every 3 months.
Now even I have become skeptic. Vaccine which is supposed was PROMISED would provide immunity now needs to be taken every 3 months.
If common people see murder in the shifting goal posts, disregard to engaging in discussion and draconian laws enacted, which incidentally seemed to apply to only common people and not for elite - it's the govt to blame.
Now emergency act - yeah your govt has officially declared war on it's own citizens who are demanding answers.
