Risk assessment๐คฆโโ๏ธ…. by the time they make a decision , it will be too late!! Like everything else they have done this entire pandemic. Pathetic
@0xsergy
What is? The super duper serious variant? Ohhh noooo! Cause they were wrong about the original virus but this new one is extra super crazy scary!!
There isnt a playbook honey.
@Rusty Shackleford you should join Petey.
@Shawn Dowdall
And I’m supposed to know who this is? You’re malfunctioning again. You better check the list of government approved insults because that one was weak
Unfortunately, predicting every possible outcome and preventative measure is impossible. Repeating the same mistakes is possible
Only a year too late. Plus JT just gave Air Canada a big loan (although they were previously going to buy another airliner), no way he’ll shut them down now.
No need to shut the entire airline down. Just stop the routes to/from India and Brazil.
He said that there are “other scientific things” they can do without stopping flights.. said it in parliament yesterday but the news wont show Canadians that… it was live on safe space cafe yt channel… only ch to show parliament.
They aren’t shuttting down Air Canada just any routes from India which are alomost all Air India
JT didnโt give them money. He gave them your money. He is a thief at best.
@P B its cause they cant afford to bail em out again silly.
Consider? Why? It’s already to late! It’s like closing the barn doors after the horses got out!
So India has the double double variant.
Dam right
Yeah, we can borrow to get the horses back, then the next generation have to keep paying.
@Cosmo Ray ๐๐๐๐๐๐ that’s gold!
All talk when most countries are closed from India. Waiting for JT to wake up from
his dance to make a decision? We are waiting!!!!!!
Ever heard of connecting flights. Just fly to Turkey and then to Canada. Trudeau has now stopped flights from India but this is just to pacify the bitchers.
@Canadian Nomad just to make things clear…JT only cares about votes of “certain” type of Canadian Indians. He doesn’t love Indians. Also, Indians don’t love him. Indian administration gave him cold shoulder when he visited India. Relations between India and Canada were stronger during Harper times.
Close all travel ASAP. No excuses
@Jeremy Hunter explain that to boomers going to Mexico and the Caribbean
@Canadian Nomad Maybe he should move to that third world country if he loves it that much
Still considering, fine, wait until the number flIes on the sky high. The reason why they haven’t done this is there are so many ethnic Indian politicans in the house. All the Canadians are paying the price for such no-action because of those politicans.
This Liberal cabinet is puppets all around
We’re a huge ship going full speed to the reefs and there’s no one in the wheelhouse.
Why are turbaned politicians so important?
air canada at least isnt flying india anymore. too late i bet though
holy crap, now they’re really concerned? if they put serious flight restrictions like 6-12 months ago, we’d be much better off.
@Canada Lettuce Nope but we did suffocate most small businesses while putting tons of money into multi national companies that extract our money ๐๐ต
@Caleb B Tam is a diversity hire unqualified for the position.
Well…., then they have no excuses to bring out big spending programs again.
@Canada Lettuce Liberal has no guts.
@Redda Liberals are craze spender.
Meanwhile flights from India continue to fly in while JT decides what where he’s going to stash the carbon tax…………….
@Cosmo Ray now they have a triple mutant variant as well. So now we have UK, Brazil, south Africa, 2 indian and also Texan variant. Its all because of not following social distancing rules. Soon the vaccines will be useless.
@Cosmo Ray triple now, double was last october
Lol this is awesome! So true but so sick at the same time…
@j john
Are you being sincere? Omg dude you will believe anything the TV tells you to believe.
How many genders are there? Just curious
@Rusty Shackleford barnyard trash from alberta
These politicians are a bunch of fools…
we are all a bunch of idiots and fools since we elect those politicians.
@D R I didnt ๐
Our new motto: Canada! Always 3 Steps Behind!
indian politicians with self interests..unbiased amirite?
You sir, are a fool
OHHH CANADUH!!
Lol awesome
Uuuuuhhhhhhh ummm canaduh
So true๐คฃ๐คฃ
๐๐๐๐๐
Yeah weeks to late wile they have already let in the latest deadly variants. Welcome to another summer with provincial boarders closed wile 100 planes a day come into canada.
Yeah! Stay at home everybody, only the virus is allowed to travel
Itโs all political now
Not all the fault of airlines, they actually do testing before boarding lol. Only the independently wealthy think it’s ok to stay in the basement while blaming everyone else ๐๐คฃ๐
@poo dilly airlines are losing billions, i dont blame em for flying. Trudeau is a smoothbrain and a half though
By the time these guys finish their “active consideration,” it will be too late. The variants will be loose in the community and spreading.
That fits their MO though. Drag their feet so that variants get in then extend and/or increase restrictions because of said variants.
Rinse and repeat to have a subjugated populace.
So India has the double double variant.
Still considering? The genie is already out of the bottle!
Again, this is all about reducing your ability for travel, thusly reducing your individual carbon emissions. This has been the impetus of this manufactured health crisis all along,
At this point, they are literally telling the public that they consider them to be idiots and trust that they will accept whatever stupid decisions they make on “their behalf”.
so we can not go any where , but flights continue to roll in every day from other country’s, madness…. pure madness
Attend the next anti lockdown protest lol
You might not be able to go anywhere but there are tons of Canadians still travelling.
plenty of places to go outside the city. exercise is essential so just go for a jog
Yup!
CONSIDERING? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED A YEAR AGO
Again, this is all about reducing your ability for travel, thusly reducing your individual carbon emissions. This has been the impetus of this manufactured health crisis all along,
Agreed!!!!
Yes, I agree but it should be band from all over the world. Year ago there were not that many cases in India. Whenever they seen cases from any country they close it. I believe they should close border completely just like Australia. No entry for anyone..
Each decision making in Canada takes at least 3 months, all the best folks
I think I am going to start a merch line and call it “It’s on the Table”.
I’ll take one
I can’t go to a restaurant but I can go to Brazil and India? It is illogical.
18 months into this and all that Canadians have been through and they’re just now considering new travel measures.
There should have been zero internationl travel unless absolutely essential period . Mind blowing. They completely created their own monster.
