    1. @john e morrison… I am sure you too are from some where, leave it alone fool, cultivate yourself.

    1. Mike Harrison – but does include Trump rallies? I think we’ll see Dumbo sooner rather than later.

    1. Call the RCMP – they are supposed to be going straight home to Alaska – one group was just fined $1200 each

  1. They’re doing the bubble thing too,we don’t have interprovincial travel yet so slow your roll about other countries…your giving away the ‘plan’.

  2. It’s funny how they are still allowing flights from China in Canada this whole time the plandemics been going on

    1. @Derek G I never implied who was coming, but there is flights coming in. I would think all the Canadians would have been home 3 months ago though.

    2. @Dougie Drums You don’t think as of right now there aren’t thousands of Canadians outside of Canada on this huge planet? many Canadians decided to hunker down abroad, perhaps have changed their mind, the border is always open to Canadians.

    3. @Derek G Katherine asked for proof of planes coming in, I delivered. I’m not trying to argue with anyone.

  3. Europe is currently considering a full out ban on Americans, Canada needs to elevate to this as well. Americans by nature don’t listen to government and its why they’re going to hit 200,000 deaths before the end of this year. Keep it closed and tighten up the Alaska border loophole.

    1. Kurt Barlow Ya well than look at it this way if I gave you a 100 skittles and 2 of them could kill you would you still eat the skittles?

    2. If you don’t live in a nursing home, the survival rate is virtually 100%… JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FLU STRAIN!

  4. There needs to be some ways to screen and let the loved ones reunite! Even if they don’t have the freaking certificate!

    1. Same boat here. Haven’t seen my partner since February. I keep scouring the internet for news every day of something we can do. I would be fine with quarantining for 2 weeks and paying for a covid test 🙁

    2. ditto!! It’s been extremely difficult not knowing when my partner and I will see each other again. Just because we don’t have a paper that says so doesn’t mean we aren’t capable of feeling the same about each other as those who do.
