    1. @J L No. What he is telling you is the truth. Please, stop drinking from the Trump kool-aid. I thought Canadians were smarter than this, but it’s clear that we aren’t short on idiots either. If I pressed you on the science of it all, I would wager you wouldn’t have a single clue. Covid-19 is real, the pandemic is real, and I assure you that its effects are quite real as well. I suggest that you Google some peer reviewed studies, before you let out any more ignorant screams. You want to risk your life and/or the life of a loved one based on denying the science? I wouldn’t wish death upon my fellow homosapiens, but if you lot insist on being complete morons, I suppose natural selection will eventually show you the proverbial door.

  1. Hospitals are empty, and you need to buzz to open the door, nurse escorts you in, there is no one in the hospitals, you get immediate service because, plain demonic.

  2. I call BS.. Why did we have to “flatten the curve” in early spring then? And your not prepared now?
    Losers.

  3. Its not the pandemic, health care, education and nursing homes were in bad shape prior to covid. Now they put blame on covid rather then taking responsibility of the mismanagement prior to covid. Its wintertime numbers will keep climbing until 2wks past mid winter – imho.

  4. Takes days to get results, takes even longer for contact tracing, no mandatory mask use! Who voted for these clowns??

  5. Hospitals are not overrun with Covid patients but rather with those who were denied access previously so we are witnessing the backlog

  6. Anyone else’s see the video going around of the empty hospitals? Cause there’s one that clearly shows these are lies.

  7. There is a very low chance that this statement is true. Throughout the entire COVID campaign we have been hearing how the health care system is in dire straights, yet not a single effort has been taken to expand capacity without pushing other, more needy patients out of the way.

  8. We’re all in this together. Business owners might lose it all while government officials are sitting pretty while peddling lies. Pretty much together though.
