Canadian Politics Today

Back in early 2020, they didn't know that much about the disease. Plus, there were concerns about the supply of surgical and N95 masks and wanted to ensure there were enough for medical use. That's why in the very early stages they didn't recommend wearing them.

What i bolded is total nonsense.  What is not bolded is the true reason.  Our gov was sending masks to China and procuring masks for our healthcare workers while telling us we didn't need them.  Why would certain people need them but not us?  Not even as a precaution until they found out more about the virus?  SARS viruses aren't new, they knew what they were doing.  They didn't want a run on N95's.  Thanks liars!

Yes, because by then they 1) Knew they were effective (even cloth masks provided some protection), and 2) Increased supply meant that they didn't need to reserve them for medical use.

Yes we know this, thanks doc!  Liars didn't have to lie anymore.

Covid is still a relatively new disease. Vaccines are safe and effective, but we're still learning about how well the protect long-term. Getting double vaxed does offer protection... a booster simply offers MORE protection.

Yes this is common knowledge.

Yes. And?

And i'm asking why hospitals were getting rammed 2 months ago but now we can take off masks?  I'm not asking for your speculation, I'm asking for the government's scientific evidence that they're using as their reasoning for this policy.  Maybe it's the weather, or more boosters, or politics, or the virus has mutated again, or a combo.

Yes, that's partly because there were enough people who were smart enough to, you know, actually get vaccinated AND get the booster. This has caused both cases in general, and hospitalizations due to covid to drop..

Don't worry doc, despite your stereotypes about people who have major ethical concerns with abortion I'm a fairly reasonable person and I believe in science and am therefore vaccinated.  I'm also not religious in any way, despite your prior assumptions.

I also don't associate myself with conservatives, or liberals.  My ideology is to be an independently thinking person with an open mind that has a healthy skepticism of everything we hear, read, and are told (also known as critical thinking), and take all the seemingly reliable information from all sources and viewpoints and use our brains to make up our own minds.  Therefore I don't blindly follow political parties, ideologies, Donald Trumps, Dr Trudeau and Dr Tams, governments, police, teachers, professors, talk-show hosts, celebrities, Facebook memes, or anyone/anything else.  But i do trust my doctor because they're hella smart and i've known them a long time.
