    1. Keep giving the sociopaths more of your money. Maybe if you give them a bit more they’ll finally do all the things they promised and lied about for the last century.

    2. With the tens of billions of dollars that trudonkey has given away we could have significantly improved our Healthcare system. Instead, it went to special interest groups and vanished into thin Air. That’s Canada for you and that’s why I’m relocating.

    1. Why? Hes alone in a room. Why would he wear a mask alone in a room? That would be crazy and borderline delusional.

  1. ask for vax passport – if they have one then issue tresspass warning – use facial recognition to see if they come back & have them arrested

  2. Scientists have been saying that this virus is airborne since before Delta. They’ve been calling for improved ventilation and masks for at least a year.
    Ppl need to consider that covid can be found in wastewater, meaning it can be found in toilets. Maybe ppl should reduce their use of public washrooms until we can install vacuum toilets?
    We’ve stumbled around for two years, basically ignoring the science because it costs money to fix it.
    I appreciate this reporting. It’s important to understand where we have, and continue to, go wrong in our handling of this virus.

  6. Out federal government really NEVER learn from previous mistakes…..look at the residential schools.

  7. I get quite upset when I see reports like this. I’m a Nurse who worked in Long Term Care for over 15 years and worked during various outbreaks. Many things in this video, including references to SARS, and staff working in more than one facility were mentioned in an email that I sent to every Health Minister (including the Federal Health Minister) across Canada at the end of March 2020 (which I still have). Not one of them replied!!!

    What’s even scarier is that Canadians voted the Liberals back in, including the now former Health Minister.

  8. One of the great things we learned is to not deploy non-sterilizing vaccines en masse in the midst of a pandemic.

  9. Did the Prime Minister of Canada call Canadians “misogynistic racist extremists” during SARS? Or just Trudeau?

  10. One of the great things we learned is to not deploy non-sterilizing vaccines en masse in the midst of a pandemic.
