Canadian TV show host Julie Snyder has apologized after making the “mistake” of asking two young children their opinions on how to handle those who have not received the vaccine, and encouraging their shockingly harsh responses.
“Last Tuesday (yesterday) I made a mistake by asking children what they thought of vaccination. I apologize to those who have been offended by this. I’m very sorry about that,” she tweeted in French.
Mardi dernier (hier) j’ai commis une maladresse en demandant à des enfants ce qu’ils pensaient de la vaccination.
Je m’excuse auprès de celles et ceux que cela a offensés. J’en suis bien désolée.

Snyder asked the children if they were vaccinated, to which the young girl responded that they have each had “one dose” of the jab. What could have been a fairly normal discussion given the global circumstances took a strange turn when she followed up that question by asking them how they feel about mandatory vaccination.
“Are you in favor of mandatory vaccine?” Snyder asked gleefully.
The answer was a startling and resounding “YES!”

It only got more frightening from there with the host, oblivious to any potential consequences to this line of questioning, “What should we do with the people who don’t want the vaccine?”
The young boy responded, “We should call the police,” with a male voice exclaiming “Yes! Yes!”
The young girl responded more strongly.
“If they don’t have the vaccine it can make a lot of people in danger so like what the government does right now, we should cut everything from them little by little until they [submit] and get vaccinated,” she explains.
Instead of being appalled at the authoritarian principles the children were displaying, Snyder instead encouraged them by saying that they were “future politicians” to a round of applause.
Social media reaction was swift and overwhelmingly negative:
This is parody right? Like something the government runs for some levity? Because when I see children on TV weighing in on politics by answering questions in this way, I think of those bits from Arabic TV where young jihadis are quizzed on the proper way to deal with infidels.

“It was almost normal for people over 30 to be frightened of their own children…for hardly a wk passed in which the Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some…little sneak–‘child hero’–…had overheard…and denounced his parents to the Thought Police.” – 1984, p25

Yeah, that’s us.
we’ve always been doormats. I’m proud that my own principles remain intact but I can’t say the same about my family. Poisoned by fear. Thankfully I got a few close friends who also feel like me preventing me from going completely insane.

Extremely disturbing. I was born and raised in The province of Québec and I cannot comprehend what is happening. They usually are a very liberal society. They are controlling them with 😨 fear. Long term side effects already set in.

“The Party tends to shape and mold the children into what the Party wants them to become so they can benefit Big Brother. The Party loves when a child turns out the correct way and remains loyal to the government”
