That quarantine should have been implemented a month ago.
no country listened to this. we are all getting screwed over because no one listened
@հokцƽ ρokus I heard of it in late December. I monitor these things because my career is in micro.
@powerslide000 Because they are different bugs, with different outcomes, different knowledge bases, and different genomes. Influenza has ⅓ that of COVID-19, and behaves completely differently.
Study micro, then get back to me.
@RSK 281 No it won’t.
@SellySDreamer Currently the mortality rate is > 5%.
small-med sized businesses should get help with the rent
@silencz1 Three months actually. This is how long it took our Gangsta Govmt to react by copy-pasting what our actual leader, Trump, has done. Yep. We have no Govmt actually.
@Deimos Yes like yourself, unemployed because you have a shyte job. Anyone else with a real job is still working and understanding what others are going through, except for the STM, as usual. Syndicated goons, like cops here.
@Bigdog Bulldog Nothing is more important than keeping your enslaved populace drunk and spending, come on guy. Who do you think you are, dictating what a community should be like? Let’s all fear an affliction less fatal than the common cold ffs, because that’s what Canadians do; cower. By Canadians I obviously mean immigrants because thats what the country is made out of. No not citizens; actual immigrants; legal or not.
@three fold None of them were laid off despite service cuts. Figure that one out.
@silencz1 They are already giving “handouts” to the banks and big corporations. The employees get paid time off, but the landlord still wants his rent money while this outbreak is in affect. So how are small to medium sized businesses going to afford $3000-$50000 per month in rent on a commercial lease for the next 4 months if they have no business? Even if the landlord is forced to allow them the 4 months before collecting rent, they are going to be looking for 4 months rent all at once, though from what I’ve seen they are still expecting rent money. The majority of small to medium sized businesses in Canada would be bankrupted by this, causing the unemployment rate to skyrocket and allow big corporations to buy out small to medium sized businesses. Yes, it’s already been two weeks and they should already have this in place. Rent is due in 4 days!
he loves giving back our money. I wish I could find the strength to listen to him
@Truth in me yes, we’ll be taxed like never before. Sadly
@Raffaele Mancini And you would be complaining if he didn’t do this….
@mark henwood cant wait for the temporary corona tax that will surely be permanent.
@Jay bray You can’t even spell and he’s PM of Canada. Who’s the loser?
@Lexy Smith Trudeau gave away 16 tons of medical supply’s to china. Loser?
The power of the many in the hands of a few. What a lovely system. Peace and love to all who serve it.
stefan cupovic “The power of the many in the hands of a few” I believe you can call that a dictatorship.
David Smith No, that’s the system. Seems you think the feudal system was democratic.
I agree
well said
@David Smith
A dictatorship would be better than this
This whole thing proves the axis should have won
Close construction sites please. We can’t access EI if you don’t. Stop listening to the real estate developers, our lives are more important than a foreign investor’s portfolio
If your life is more important than a foreign investor’s portfolio, then stop working as a brickman? Also, stop living, I guess, because these issues will always exist, especially since there is no issue actually happening at the moment and you’re trying to make a deal out of thin air. Just go bag my groceries, guy, thanks.
@Properganda You can’t even get yourself against a wall to stand straight, bish. No need for commie agitation.
@JoJo Or Else Most commies don’t get it because this is what they need.
You can bet the management are all kicked back at home right now while the workers continue to slave and put themselves at risk.
Condo construction is essential but open house showings are not allowed. Think about how serious this is. There is a lot of money tied up in construction contracts, if projects are late there can be huge penalties. Money it seems is more important than safety. It almost seems like greed is worth more than a life.
I pray that everyone who reads this doesn’t get coronavirus.
JoJo Or Else Advil?
@Properganda You don’t have anything against anything. The commies have got you against an imaginary wall though. Let’s see if you believe in it.
question…if we beat covid do we beat the flu..like isnt covid 10x more infectious
and also lives longer
@Ladner J
This is why you need to read with the virus. Just because a 3 year old can’t read doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read with them, moreso it is the reason you should read with them
Properganda wtf?
“Small business need to pay their fair share” as his Chief fundraiser was named in the Paradise Papers.
@M. M. This is the only appropriate response to that question. Thank you.
@Scott Visser self isolate your comments until the pandemic is being fully vanished.
Timmy2Fingerz Bronfman, Trudopes chief fundraiser is a POS…
How do you expect business owners to do their share ..WHEN they are not making money if they have to close!!!!!
They may go out of business and there will be no jobs for employees coming back
They should get more help,
@Lynda Mcrae Small business will die, then incentives for FOBs will pop up in order to lower the GDP so the elites make more. The end. Second wave of communism. Same as fifty years ago.
Freeze time on all bills and loans till after crisis.
Pay your bills mooch
Hard to do if he’s laid off. Add kids and you’re fkd.
@Dylan Leaman Anderson How is he a mooch? Freezing means you’ll still have to pay it eventually.
Dylan Leaman Anderson LoL!
@Dylan Leaman Anderson that’s a tad cruel your putting all the apples in same basket. Shame on you to judge
No matter which language i speak i can assure you that i can’t understand it when it’s at the same time 😶
I agree with you doesn’t matter that understand both languages; I have to switch between French/English channels every time Trudeau or Legault speak so that I don’t hit the TV.
just speak the language of “slimy lying liberal” and you will understand perfectly
Ali Superstar haha
Dont worry, it’s not like Justin actually knows what he himself is even saying.
Dude has no clue what happens in small business. This will do nothing.
I wish to correct you. It should read, “Dude has no clue.”….period. Truth is he’s knitting with only one needle.
@James Takemyword All capitalism is crony capitalism.
@SoManySkinks what a completely insane comment. we would be still be starting fires with sticks and stones without capitalism.
What is small business ?
Let’s see, like Bombardier and Master Card ?
@Anand
Eliminate all small businesses. Only business corporation like Bombardier, Master Card, Loblaws, Irving, BELL and SNC should do ALL businesses in Canada.
I live in Hamilton Ontario and I see businesses open everywhere so I don’t think all of should get help only the one that are doing what they are told there is a company nextdoor granding paint off balconies so tell me how that is essential…….. I will wait .
Just so you know, I doubt companies who are working right now, won’t be able to prove any loss.
it will be in other service industries where one deals with customers and prospects face to face, who can prove loss due to this – salons, homeworkers, maintenance workers, babysitters, etc.
It will be determined due to true need and the amount probably adjusted to fit each case.
Calm down.
Why bother having live translation when the PM justs repeats the same answer in both languages anyway?
lol its probably just as annoying for them, thats why they don’t say much. lol
I don’t know
Do you say repeat the same answer. Our Prime Mistake hasn’t answered a question yet
Translators don’t have a job otherwise
This only delays the inevitable collapse of this fiat system, you know.
@Toon Link Yeah.. sounded a bit… twittery.
@Toon Link Better then the actual right wingers that go on all those actual shooting sprees, I guess
Words hurt less
@John Frylock Again, that comment is cringe, I won’t lie to you about it. Don’t post it again
@Barbara Mulvaney Look at that left-wing love and tolerance at work!
@Barbara Mulvaney You’re so tolerant of others Barb! You’re views and opinions are the only ones that matter.
I love how everyone is here all triggered with their “comments” and “suggestions”, like the Prime Minister is actually going to answer you in this YouTube chat XD
It’s fun to respond to them though. Hi 😀
He never answers anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Alcatraz101 you used the word triggered so that ends me reading anything else you said.
rofl i legit laughed
How do you know the comments are suggestions are for Turdeau?
He’s already proven he doesn’t listen let alone care what the citizens say or think.
Why does Trudeau sounds like the leader of hunger games when talking
for the same reason that Scheer sounds like Drumpf
Ur so Right, I couldn’t put my finger on y he keeps me out until I read ur comment n he does talk just like Snow
kathy smith but, but Harper..
He is.
Because he isn’t a Prime Minister, he’s a guy playing the role of a Prime Minister.
I hear Justin is writing a book, to be called, “How To Buy Friends With Their Children’s Future Taxes.” When he says “We need to do more who is “We”?
You, slave. You. Didn’t you hear? Being alive is a gift! Now work, bish, and make me that money.
Why am I paying property tax when I am teaching my child and my acres of woods are cleaning the worlds carbon?
@Ashleigh Jaima Osborne Doctors run away with the diplomas, hospitals are overpriced sheeholes built by gangsters, welfare is set up for FOBs, libraries are so 1980s, so are firefighters. Name more please, because so far those are all liabilities to real citizens who take care of themselves. This one family carrying themselves is worth more than having a proud blackface bish as a leader. Gods bless Gary Fischer.
@three fold ‘libraries are so 1980s, so are firefighters’
Imagine hearing this phrase and trying to figure out the original context. If anyone ever thinks for a moment the average sod is equipped to have an opinion on policy, go read some Youtube comments.
Curious, do you use public roads, are you connected to the hydro-electric system, do you have access to publicly treated water, do you have access to public sanitation etc. I don’t have any children yet I don’t complain about property tax because believe or not, we as citizens owe it to our society to pay to keep it going. I’m cool pointed out too much of the tax burden is carried but the working class while corporations continue to get tax breaks at every turn. But this idea that we should only pay for the services we use is ridiculous.
Are you Canadian ?
This is normal in Canada.
If you don’t pay for your ( Brian Bologna Mulroney) BOLOGNA fees then you are not Canadian.
@jts1968 With the resources that this country has, every Canadian should be a millionaire! We are being screwed. Do you know how much tax we pay for “OUR” fuel? Carbon tax is a joke. Our forests clean the worlds carbon. Other countries should be paying Canada for keeping the air clean.
Translation, we need to tax Canadians and here’s an excuse.
That’s coming for sure. Bet your life on it
Your idiocy is taxing Canadians.
@mark henwood
Definitely not a tax cut afterwards.
why not instead of makeing sure the who has resourses, It has a leader that doenst pander to the ccp at the worlds expense. Just a suggestion
He didn’t answer a single question…dude just talks circles.
You’re not just finding this out are you?
@mark henwood I generally avoid politics – they just lie to get by. Was hoping something as serious as a pandemic would warrant some straight answers.
@yesterdaysguy What pandemic? The never ending wars? Poverty? Slavery? …. Oh you’re talking about this flu! Oh, haha! well then.. dunno what to tell ya except welcome to life? sheet
Uh we need to uh work together. Uh we are uh doing everything to help canadians. Uh we will work uh very hard to protect canadians uh um uh watter bottle drink box type things uh um uh ah um uhhh
