Create Account Strauss, an emergency care doctor, said in his maiden speech to fellow MPs that 'the zenith of all this top-down control came during the pandemic. The members opposite went full communism. 'They locked Canadians down in their homes, ruined weddings, funerals, Easters, proms and Christmases, closed the borders, kept mothers from children and brothers from sisters, deprived the House of its ancient rights, spent $600 billion of taxpayer money with no budget and doubled our national debt to pay healthy 16-year-olds to sit in their basement,' said the MP for Kitchener South-Hespeler. When the pandemic started, Strauss was an assistant professor at Queen's University's medical faculty. After he was dismissed, he filed a $600,000 claim against the university, alleging he was fired because he was critical of COVID mandates. 'At Queen's University where I taught, Jane Philpott herself, one of the only two cabinet ministers to speak truth to Justin Trudeau's power, informed me in her dean's office that 'the reason the administration had to harass me was that I criticized the government,'' he told the Commons. 'That is a direct quote.' During the pandemic, Strauss was appointed acting medical officer of health in Haldimand-Norfolk, Ont., and said he tried to save as many lives as possible without resorting to COVID mandates.
