  1. No western governments are managing this crisis very well. Lots of medically uneducated politicians managing a pandemic, to expect anything more isn’t logical. They are struggling.

      oh the SATIRE

      ps? she ‘earns’ 269 210$ a year for ” just reading what’s in front of her”

    3. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said that it “just leaves more and more questions in people’s minds as to who is calling the shots”

      W.H.O.? indeed!

    1. You have serious issues, specially with your music tastes, from Tina Turner to Jimmy hendrix LOL are you 86 years old and ranting on here like a child?
      If you are too ignorant to understand how politics work maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to be a keyboard warrior either. Boom, Keyboard drop!

  2. democracy is founded on the idea that matters involving civil liberties require rigorous debate and that many viewpoints should be heard before decisions with such far-reaching consequences are made.

    “The lockdown is not just medical – it’s economic too. There should be debate. You can’t just squash voices,”

    debate should be at the provincial level, he said, as municipal councils don’t have the jurisdiction

  3. The Canadian Prime Minister’s suggestion that a traveler returning to Canada should be quarantined in a hotel for three days for $ 2,000, in addition to a corona test is an unfair measure and an indirect obstruction to the right to travel.
    What is meant by these measures, and is this how the pandemic is being combated?
    What does this mean for the traveller? They have to spend three days in the hotel and 14 days if they are infected with Covid-19? They have to pay for the hotel’s guesthouse.
    By what right do you take this huge money from the traveler?
    Unless it was public piracy under the pretext of a pandemic!
    These decisions and instructions put pressure on the citizen’s psyche in addition to the health and economic problems he/she suffers from, instead of solving their problems. All of this is a violation and an infringement of human rights by placing obstacles and preventing human movement.
    More realistic measures must be taken that take into account the special situation of the pandemic and the economic and social situation. Also, some politicians incite against foreigners and accuse them of causing infection to the country, and this is pure fabrication and evidence of the high rate of racism in Canada, unfortunately.
