A Conservative MP is asking the RCMP to investigate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for comments that the MP said many believe were made with the aim of “promoting hate” against Canadians who haven’t received a COVID-19 vaccine.

Colin Carrie, MP for Oshawa, Ont., said on social media that he has been getting calls, online messages, and in-person visits from his constituents—a majority of whom are double- or triple-vaccinated—over the past few weeks raising concerns. He says the constituents say the government-mandated COVID-19 vaccination requirement “crosses a line,” as does the idea of a “vaccine tax” like the one recently announced in Quebec.
