    1. @Eric Dube “wake up” you’re delusional, bud. NO REALLY. Seek a medical professional. You really don’t have to put yourself, your family and friend through all this, just cuz you’re a resentful loser.

    1. Just like it’s our fault that all of those students couldn’t get paid volunteering jobs through the WE “Charity “

  1. A better idea by me, no not Ford: Confirmed deaths should be compared to a population base only. The tests show a False Positive of 50%. In most cases this far most provinces have fewer confirmed death rates that the yearly regular flu bugs. Wat too much bs going on here. Politics be gone and reality is welcome.

    1. @Paul David It’s not mansplaining when you are asked to explain something. It’s mansplaining when you are talking to a female epidemiologist but you try to explain something to her that you googled yesterday. Hope that helps.

    1. @Rebecca Sluchinski How about stating facts to support your point inside of saying “educate yourself”
      Your source came from the internet, correct?
      What makes your “education” differ from some other random on the internet?
      “Educate yourself” is simply saying
      “I’m too lazy to try remember why I put effort into this”
      Or
      “I blindly follow for acceptance”
      Find a hobby or read a book.

    2. Saskguy20 thank you for proving my point. It’s not up to others to research for you. I never said anything about my research coming from the internet. Your assumption obviously is off. I love to read and yes you should try it sometime. As I said educate yourself. Google research and apply that to gain knowledge.

  2. “Without any knowledge politically” is her way of trying to excuse the Feds, and claim that despite her not knowing why her department cut this program that it nevertheless had nothing to do with pressure from the federal government. That doesn’t seem to jive.

    1. But she kept telling Canadians the risk was low?
      Refused to consider a travel ban. Travel bans were called “Racist”
      She & Trudeau are F@cking liars (no way to be polite about it)

  3. The security told them about the virus in December to slow to closing borders and Roxham road and airports also masks and closing borders don’t work not their fault hmm

    1. how about a little responsibility for yourself? I’ve been physically distancing and wearing a mask since mid-march and working since may and have not gotten the virus.

    1. In late January she said “The risk is low to Canadians.” She trivialized the risk of Covid and focussed on the risk of racism!

  4. Now the RCMP can go and give fines out I thought government couldn’t tell them what to do example Railway blockage etc.hmm

  5. Did the air line passenger get off on the tarmac, no they paraded through the air port into taxis, buses ,rental cars off to grocery stores, hotels homes and work no one checked if they were self isolating. Then the Feds passed responsibility off to provinces FEDS only provided LIP SERVICE.

    1. They were sending PPE from Canada to China only later buying back needed supplies for a premium. This alone should bring down the government.

    1. @Fattiger thanks for clarifying this, personal responsibility is the most important, don’t wait for government to decide.

  6. Well is that investigation the minister was referring too, going to get done? Not likely, since Trudeau prorogued parliament. Investigations are a moot point! .. So why make it sound like the Liberals are doing something when they can’t? .. It’s all about redirect, deflect and mask your excuses!

  7. I’m old enough to remember when we were being called racist for saying we should close the border and airports.

    1. Relaxing Nature research shows there was a meeting and it was discussed back in 2018 and in December 2019 covid stocks were set up. Interesting research. So they knew.

    2. Rebecca Sluchinski yup, certain nations with certain ideals of singular gov for “Terra” had testing kits ordered in 2017

    3. Just found this on another comment. “Add potentially illegal donations he accepted from Barry and Honey Sherman. they were murdered in 2017 while being under investigation for their
      donations to JT. The investigation was closed after their murder. They also controlled Apotex a generic drug manufacturer that produced HCQ. Things are much more connected and messed up than anyone can imagine.”
