In Saint John, New Brunswick, Conservative leader Erin O’Toole faced questions about the COVID-19 situation in Alberta as that province declares another public health emergency.
He has previously praised Premier Jason Kenney for his province’s handling of the pandemic.
But O’Toole avoided saying if he still feels the same.
“As prime minister, I will work with all premiers regardless of stripe to fight against the pandemic.
A pandemic that we need to fight and Mr. Trudeau didn’t fight. He called an election. A $600-million dollar election,” O’Toole said.
In Oshawa, Ontario, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh said the Liberal leader doesn’t think helping Alberta is his job.
“I think it is the job of a Prime Minister in a pandemic in a crisis to step up and help in any way I can,” Singh said.
Singh placed the blame on Alberta Premier Jason Kenney calling his leadership “horrible”.
In Montreal, Quebec, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau contradicted Singh saying he’s offered Alberta whatever they need and he noted ventilators are being sent to the province.
“Half measures measures won’t do to fight this pandemic, to keep people safe, to prevent future lockdowns, to further slow the growth of our economy,” Trudeau said.
