After releasing a photo of herself receiving her latest vaccines, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland’s post saw a flood of comments calling her out for peddling an endless regime of booster shots.
Freeland posted an image of herself on the evening of December 18th receiving her latest flu shot and COVID booster.
“I got my flu shot and COVID booster today!” wrote Freeland.
“Find out where you can get your shots to help keep your family safe this holiday season,” she added, providing a link to the Government of Canada’s vaccine page.
However, her post was immediately ratio’d – amassing a wave of negative comments with far fewer “likes.”
At the time of publishing, Freeland’s post on X received about 4,800 comments and 2,300 likes.
Freeland put on blast for still pushing boosters
Freeland was blasted with thousands of comments, many of them calling out her promotion of jabs that are increasingly being understood as ineffective or even toxic.
Political pundit Viva Frei commented on the controversial post saying, “Did you even get a real shot? I bet millions of Canadians are hoping you did.”
Freeland polling above other Liberals in popularity for potential leadership
In spite of her mismanagement of the finance portfolio and her widely-mocked antics, Freeland’s popularity polls higher than any other Liberal as a potential leadership candidate.
According to a recent Nanos poll, 18% of respondents found Freeland to be the most “politically appealing” as a potential candidate for leadership of the Liberal party.
However, most of those who participated in the survey chose “None of the above” as their preferred potential Liberal leader, with 24% voting for none of the candidates listed.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s support as leader came to a disastrous 9%.
