The Federal Government has our backs by allowing international travel? Thanks for the lockdowns and destroying our economy.
@Zaku Brigadier international travel does not make up a great part of our economy if you knew anything about economics and our country which is Canada, you would understand that export is the most important part of our economy. And up from that export the most crucial is the Vancouver wharf. That is not international travel. That is freight. That is a WHOPPING 33% of the entire country’s revenue.
I also don’t know how old you are. But you may remember Air Canada asked for a bailout? The airlines could not support themselves back a few decades ago….. So think about that.
Yup exactly! They knew about this new variant in the UK but kept our borders WIDE OPEN for days.
International travel was not about economy, AIR CANADA maybe, REFUGEES, definitely. ECONOMY not a chance
Regardless of what you do, you CANT eliminate a bloody virus lol its no worse then the flu. No restrictions at all should be in place. Get your heads out of the clouds and wake up
@ardvarq Not according to your experts.
2021 , here comes the BRUTAL REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE..—- PRAY,,,,,
More like the end of the Roman Empire and the start of another dark ages…yeah..fun times.
ha?
It’ll get better going into the spring.
Don’t mock me with empty promises.
Seriously Binky, what will Roman Pizza be like? Roman Lasagna? I would hate to think about how garbage pickup is going to be like when they replace garbage trucks with horse-drawn chariots.
Shut down small businesses but allow travel to the UK, just shows you this Government has no clue or is too corrupt to do the right thing
spitting fax
Small local businesses falls under the municipal or provincial government, travels fall under federal government responsibility. Sometimes they don’t agree.
@Samim Taheri Canada belongs to the queen
I agree shut down the airports period
@through the grapevine right… we were literally a corporation before corporations took everything over
36000 passengers walk through Pearson airport weekly.
@Zane no kidding!
Just look at a flight tracker app. There are tons of flights everywhere. Apparently the virus is only spread by family gatherings and only small businesses.
I wonder if you built a church, looking like an airport, if that would fool the rona
@Sheldon no, covid knows how to use Google maps
@Sheldon The Klingon s are watching
Oh no! Not the new variant! And it’s a different colour!
@Karl without a C big money in vaccines….
@Karl without a C billions in profit for starters
@Some Random Guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
dis gonna be TWD if things keep happening dis way
@Royal_Gaming TWD?
The current government should resign
They should be charged with crimes against humanity.
@Golden Falcon I agree and who’s to do it? Both parties are corrupt!
Because there’s a worldwide pandemic?
Yea so I canadians get more work above indians
It mutated like the seasonal flu? WOW weird.
@wat So contagious. I was sitting beside a guy with fever. He was told by his doctor it was Covid. He got it, I got nothing.
@mdo686 it’s mutation that spiked evolution, you’re basically right. But it didn’t have much of a reason to mutate as it is thriving in its environment.
Holy crap! _All_ viruses can mutate! What a shocking revelation, I never woulda guessed! A coronavirus, a series of viruses known for their rapid mutations, mutated! I’m honestly dumbfounded.
if it mutates then GG everyone
@Pawel Kwasiuk wait acc?
The music isnt eery at all….
Ya it isn’t wtf
Possibly a bat ate a human this time around.
@Peter H might have been a “fruit” bat though🤔😁
@islanti actually stats show down in # of croakings… 🤔🐾🐾🦦🌪🦥😳🤨😁
Manbat: Origins
@Wunderin Wynd Feather aka Skjeren humm…interesting! I didn’t think of that. You’ve got a point. 👍

Ok…make a brilliant suggestion…
I am really getting tired of all of these idiots that don’t trust the government
@Chase Andrews and i am tired of all these idiots who think government and industry have our best interest at heart
@Chase Andrews i kinda think they are getting tired of those idiots that do trust govt…🤔

Better question in anyone not getting tired of this crap

Plaque inc player: virus has mutated a new ability
“Okay we’re gonna need some electronic slightly creepy but tech-y sci-fi music for this one to slightly spook them out about the new variant….”
they are salivating anytime they get to report on new coronavirus news. weird flex but ok.
Theremin music?
I laughed when the doctors said “the new variant is not in Canada yet” like they would actually even be able to have that information. lol.
LOL honestly
I was told there was already 1 case in canada not sure where who or when but i was told last nigh so between then and the big bang is my guess
How will we know if it has arrived yet? Dr. Epidemiologist, please look in the microscope: It’s the Blue and Yellow One.
We’re on lockdown but flights still come in. Think about that.
It’s intentional.
In simple terms
“Poisoning/Pissing your own water supply”
Who else here for the comments only
PERIODT
