An associate politics professor at Mount Allison University believes the public should be outraged about recent trips numerous politicians have taken outside the country or even beyond their own provinces.
Mario Levesque calls the behaviour irresponsible by flouting the advice of their own public health officials not to travel.
“They are leaders, they are in positions of authority and it’s not good enough to talk the talk, they have to walk the talk as well. Leadership is about guiding people and doing the right things yourself as well and for a number of them that simply was not the case.”
Levesque says we should really be questioning those politicians and their judgment skills and says if those are the kind of decisions they are making, what other poor decisions are they making elsewhere?
When it comes to the pandemic, Levesque says the biggest issue for safety is don’t move and reduce contact with other people anywhere.
