    1. Funny how I never hear about ICUs in Texas and Florida overflowing, even though there is no mask mandates and everything is completely open.. Shows how incompetent the Canadian government is that they still are carrying on with this ridiculousness

  1. Watching this guy stammer his way through a prepared statement is equal parts sad/hilarious.

    1. I’d prefer Rob. I wish Rob were alive and still on crack. Rob would do a better job, while taking crack hits on camera. He could be drunk too.

  2. Yet his personal business has stayed open throughout the entire pandemic. This guy is a criminal.

    1. @Lin A That’s not the issue here, it’s how he managed to get essential service status for DECA. I get it, stickers to help the manage the pandemic. Sounds like a bit of loophole. There is nothing wrong with him owning a business. And if all printing companies are allowed to stay open than it’s all fair and square.

    1. you can go outside. you can sit on your porch if you have one. if you leave your property just wear a mask. its not hard

  3. When I was a kid I once watched a hilarious yet poignant movie called “Groundhog Day”.

    Little did I know I’d someday have my very own version of groundhog day IRL.

  4. When I migrated to Canada, I was told English is one ridiculously difficult language. I didn’t believe until I watched this video. Ford speaks 45 long minutes to say “Friends, I am clueless.”

    2. soyez le bienvenu au canada monsieur , comme vous le constatez c’est comme ailleurs, y a des imbéciles et des sans coeurs dans tous les pays

    1. @Maximus Decimus Meridius imagine wanting to be Premier or PM after the lockdowns when inflation hits LOL..

      whoever is in power at that point is gonna get lynched

  5. So you’ll be at home then Mr. Ford? Can we check in on you daily to make sure you’re “staying safe”?

    1. Knowing him he will have a party at his place. He hasn’t obeyed a single rule he set forth to this point.

    1. @mechanoid2k I believe they signed for lock down for 1 – 2 years if needed, but told public 15 days to prevent panic. Yet everyone still panicked and hoarded all the toilet paper 😂

    1. Last year he was worth 3 million and now 50 million. The rich are getting richer and we are becoming more poor

    2. @William Hudson We should stop paying taxes , teach them a lesson. They would quit on the spot !
      They are all in it to get filthy rich. Look at Ford gaining weight while many are starving .
      What goes around comes around , it’s just a matter of time !

    1. @aspalovin Stack silver, if you’re reading this. Literally convert a large percentage of your savings into silver (not gold yet, do your own research). The lockdowns are to keep the velocity of money low so that the inflation is delayed, and silver is still on a fire sale due to price suppression. Unfortunately, all my silver was lost recently in a boating related incident.

    2. The govt did… this is a news org channel on YouTube. Subscribe or don’t complain… You’re the one getting your news on YouTube.

  6. Park our vehicles to block the entrance to Deco Labels, since they aren’t essential, it won’t matter if we block it since they will be closed, right?

    1. @Maxx P. But no one is allowed to buy non-essential things for one month. Many manufacturing plants make non-essential products. Therefore, Ford’s sticker plant is non-essential.

    2. @Christopher Chirpac It doesn’t matter whether they can sell it or now. MANUFACTURING PLANTS are essential. They can keep it in the warehouse till they can sell it.

  7. I’m sure the Beer Store and LCBO will be fully open as essential. But the regular business owner is shut down.

    1. And they will remain open until every other business closes and then LCBO will be the ultimate monopoly.

    2. @Apocalypse Meow Sure it is but doesn’t mean they have to stay 100% open, They can offer Curbside easy enough like they make even stores with 99% less foot traffic do.

    3. Sad because I’m an alcoholic and am very functional, I would be in a hospital with millions going through withdrawal. I’m sure the LCBO is still open not because they are philanthropic, 100 percent sure because they make millions….

  8. I have made it just over half way through, and I am finished! I am soooo sick of them, not actually answering the questions being asked!

    1. @Cal Usilton While working in the service industry I was taught to call groups of men/women “folks” instead of defaulting to the idiom “guys.” It de-genders the language and can be quite useful.

  9. Why don’t they all the ad revenue they make from these videos declaring lockdowns to the small businesses there hurting?

    1. Because this is being provided to you by a news organization with its own expenses, not the government.

  10. Yes lock everyone down and don’t forget to keep the airport open to
    let in the “ variants “

    1. I agree every province needs to do a lock down then nothing can move pass the borders of their province and this tops plain and simple too easy or am I just a Stun as me arse in thinking we are correct.

    2. The variants are the government. There is no proof of what they are saying. They aren’t giving any facts just lockdowns.

    1. I don’t think your wishes will help them feed their families! Mass non-compliance would help though

  11. 5 years from now, we’ll be warned about the 23rd wave — this will only end when the public tells the leaders to go “Float” themselves.

    1. I don’t mind the word Wave so much because it reminds me of the beach. But once they start calling it Tsunami that’s when I’m going to be really pissed!

    2. Exactly. We are now under tyrannical rule. The quicker we accept it, the quicker we can break free of it.
