Canada's Party Leaders Shared A Video Message About Vaccines & It's Awkward As Heck

"We're all in this together!"

Staff Writer

In a new video, Canada's federal party leaders are coming together to encourage Canadians to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but the execution of their message may have missed the mark.

The short video, which was posted to Annamie Paul's Twitter on September 10, begins with the Green Party leader standing alongside Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, Conservative leader Erin O'Toole, Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet, and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh in what can only be described as a Power Rangers-esque position.

The group starts with a fantastic High School Musical reference stating "we're all in this together," before each party leader takes a turn in a close-up shot explaining the benefits of getting vaccinated.

The leaders mobilized once again in a power stance at the end of the video, telling Canadians to "get the shot."

Despite the awkwardness of the video, the party leaders clearly put their differences aside to come together after some heated exchanges during the September 9 English-language leaders' debate.
