It is the civic duty of every Canadian. It is our job as the people to hold our leadership accountable if\u00a0they are infringing on our inalienable rights, if we suspect that they have become corrupted or compromised in any way \u2014 or simply, if we think they\u2019re wrong in monumental decisions they are making on behalf their people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you are treating my brothers and sisters, your constituents, like terrorists without ever speaking to their leadership,\u201d Lilly went on to call on Trudeau to listen to the people instead of simply cracking down on them. \u201cThere are no riots. This is not a violent protest. There is only a mass of deeply concerned citizens at your doorstep who you refuse to acknowledge for what they are: your people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo everybody listening, everybody,\u201d Lilly continued. \u201cPeople who disagree with the mandates and people who agree with them. If you think that the person on the other side of this divide is your enemy, please take time to get to know them. Listen with an open heart to what they\u2019re really saying. And remember that we\u2019re all humans who get scared and feel pain, and most of us are just trying our best to build the brightest future for the next generation and the happiest, most fulfilling, most peaceful and healthy today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t let the press brainwash you into division and hatred,\u201d\u00a0Lilly concluded, noting that \u201cthe antidote to prejudice is knowledge\u201d and encouraging people to listen to each other rather than what was being put out by media: \u201cListening is the only way out of the ideological mess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lilly sparked backlash earlier for taking a public stand against vaccine mandates, as The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-outraged-over-marvel-actress-evangeline-lilly-publicizing-stance-against-vaccine-mandates\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Marvel star Evangeline Lilly started a social media firestorm this week when she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/marvel-actress-evangeline-lilly-comes-out-against-vaccine-mandates-nobody-should-ever-be-forced-to-inject-their-body\">publicly denounced<\/a> COVID-19 vaccine mandates.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Lilly had previously expressed unpopular opinions about social distancing in 2020, but now has reignited the controversy by attending a \u201cDefeat the Mandates\u201d rally in Washington, D.C., over the weekend. The \u201cLost\u201d alum shared photos from the event with her 2 million followers on Instagram.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The caption read in part, \u201cI believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will\u2026 under any threat whatsoever. This is not the way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Canadian actress wrote, \u201cThis is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don\u2019t believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It didn\u2019t take long for the backlash against Lilly to start. Twitter users expressed their desire to see the Marvel alum canceled and removed from any future projects with the studio.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
