  1. We’re not opening up Ontario just yet, we still have a few more businesses that haven’t declared bankruptcy yet. Once we’ve gotten rid of all the small businesses then Ontario will be safe to reopen.

    1. How dare you speak against government policies. Don’t you know the government only has our best interests at heart?

  2. whens the next elections because Canada needs a whole new government from federal provincial to municipal!

    1. Well, their bringing mail in voting, that work sooo well for Biden. Safe to say we’ll get who ever they want. Will this mean Trudeau again… maybe, maybe not, regardless we’re f@cked

    2. @johndope : actually, you got it wrong. Ontario has 79 liberal seats, Quebec only 35. Ontario voted a liberal government, not quebec. Half of the votes went to the Block Québécois in quebec. Get your facts straight.

  3. We will tell you when can and when you can’t gather with others. Forever!
    Wait, said the last part out loud.

    1. D725U McCallion should reprimand Ford for breaking stay home rules as he still does not get it He must have some personality disorder traits for sure

    1. @Jonathan K : The science actually shows the N95 model is one of the least effective at transmission prevention.

  4. See how ridiculous it is that the woman wears a mask when not talking and then removes it when she is spitting into the mic

    1. They know it’s a S-C-A-M. We know it’s a S-C-A-M. What are we gonna do about it? These lockdowns are not going to end.

  5. We went from ” 14 days to flatten the curve” to ” you will own nothing and be happy” in the blink of an eye.

    1. Wear a mask to protect yourself. Then it flips Then wear a mask to protect other’s. Stay home. We want more control. Just when there might be a light at the end of the tunnel it is stepped up. Virus has mutated

    2. @Vociferon – Herald of the Winter Mists sound absurd now, but just wait 14 years, eh? when is it going to end?

    1. Are you sure about that? In Ontario, if you try to stand, the government pulls the rug out from under you, and you sure as hell don’t want to try and grow as they stunt your growth.

    1. You can gather at Costco or Walmart where you can even let down your mask. And nonessential trips are reserved only for government officials and family members, and where trips are free.

  6. we are not reading any science. we are not looking at any statistics. and we are not paying attention to anything that might go against our policies.

  7. Permission? This is totally ridiculous, since when do we need permission from the government to live our lives? Enough is enough

    1. @andrew sweet is saying don’t commit crimes the same as don’t gather/ don’t open your business until we say ?

  8. I don’t need your permission to gather with my friends.

    The Bill of Rights and Freedoms says I have the right to assembly.
