Conservative MP David Sweet

Another one with common sense.

"Both Sweet and Baber said they did not believe that COVID-19 was a virus to be taken lightly, but said the government should have focused on keeping residents in long-term care (LTC) settings safe without shutting down large sectors of the economy."
"Sweet, the first Conservative MP to express this view in public, held a joint media conference with Baber on Wednesday to call for the entire province to move into the green stage of the COVID-19 framework."
“Lockdowns by their nature are a threat to mental health,” Sweet said. “For a large part, what makes us human is birthdays, christenings, funerals, anniversaries, bar mitzvah, church, synagogue, mosque services, going out for dinner on Valentine’s Day and fast approaching Easter and Passover."

A politician not afraid to speak truth.
More need to step up and speak out

Sweet's has been marginal MP throughout a mediocre career. Never got beyond committee chair during the Harper years. He is not running again and this is his last grasp at "glory."
