    1. @Fridericus Rex no it is not racist, it is unconstitutional to prevent Canadians from leaving or returning to Canada.

    2. It’s the same nonsense everywhere. It seems like they want things to get worse or at least have excuses to make it worse.

  1. PCR is not a test and should not be used for any diagnosis, fact it is a way to amplify something minuscule.
    Karry Mullis the creator of the PCR

    1. @Alan Ross Elaborating what? Read PCR test leaflet. It clearly says – Do not use for diagnostic purposes. Research use only. Jeez …

    1. I used to say “they” are 5 rules or regulations away from total Anarchy, now I say “they” are all of 1 rule or regulation away from total Anarchy. Question to all, anyone see the 80 year old playbook of an ideology and organization we thought destroyed at work here or is it just me?

    2. @Bingus Since you are an expert in evolution, what effect do you suppose giving everyone on the planet the same mRNA will have?

  2. “Their best efforts” was sitting on the news for ANOTHER three months when it was discovered, JUST LIKE LAST TIME! Our lives sacrificed for their wallets.

  3. “Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.”
    ― Primo Levi

  4. we can’t keep :
    – beetles out of ash trees
    – zebra mussels out of the great lakes
    – stop the seasonal flu
    – etc, etc

    but we can stop this virus?

    1. According to the Covid Justice warriors. The Flu has been stopped this year due to masks and social distancing 🤦‍♂️🤣😂🤣🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏

    2. @dom40864 Zebras live in Africa and their muscles end up in the stomachs of lions. Not in North America’s Great Lakes.

    3. @Blazein Boarder Flu hasn’t been “stopped” literally but yes it has been slowed down significantly. Can’t get sick if you aren’t getting sprayed with peoples spit while they talk to you

  5. I guess our fearless leader can’t be bothered to step out of his cottage and address the nation over this new covid variant and why it’s in Canada to begin with.

    1. Why do you want to hear from that guy?. I don’t – he can’t do anything so why should I care if he “steps out of his cottage” or not?

    1. No, dimwit, science rests on the analysis of facts. Scientists, however, have something you don’t: epistemological humility.

    2. @duchodziej lolmaister “real science yes, if real science was practiced humanity would never have any virus issue.” No, that is obviously not true you moron.

  6. The biggest negative impact didn’t come from the virus, it came from the incompetent shut downs imposed on everybody for political clout.

  7. Its rapidly spreading around the world so fast there’s no point to cancel flights but don’t you dare go outside to your corner store

    1. Ok yeah so let’s not Learn any lessons cause it not like it can mutate over and over again. They are gonna screw round till it mutates into airborne hiv.

    2. 4loops43 LOL, you have that right. And you can get stuff off of the internet delivered by a stranger, but cant have a cup of tea with your neighbour.

    1. Exactly, the best virus is one that spreads but causes basically no harm. Basic evolution facts, but facts don’t matter anymore. It’s all such a joke.

    2. @pyromcr basically no harm? I’m a young adult who’s going through covid right now, and it’s the most painful sickness I’ve ever experienced/am experiencing currently, this virus is very serious.

  8. According to the Covid Justice warriors. The Flu has been stopped this year due to masks and social distancing 🤦‍♂️🤣😂🤣🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
