Some may be laughing but mine will be suffering. Kids need social interaction and their friends. They already sit on electronic devices to much as it is and now we force them to do it.
ck is intellectually dishonest. Replied to me then deleted the original factually incorrect post and the reply.
@Jim Trainor it’s most likely a Trudeau staffer.
Getting them ready for the Metaverse where they will own nothing and be happy.
can your kids play outside?
not all kids want social interaction but yes keeping the schools open would be nice
UK is passing through this without adding restrictions. Ontario is acting rash and unmeasured, again.
Broken record but hey that’s what we love here in Canada.
NO THAT IS NOT WHAT “WE” LOVE!!!!
I would prepare to stop paying taxes and finding other resources where they don’t bully, intimidate, coerce or try and convince you to take an experiment in order to use their service.
Their services! Paid by Canadian tax payers!
“We know this is going to be tough for families…” Well don’t do it then!
They don’t care the paranoid have taken canaduh😁
What are families supposed to do? Both parents need to work at least one job each to JUST make ends meet.
Will government give financial support to parents who have to quit a job to be home schooling their kids?
We wont fight it or anything. This is Chinada eh! Lol hilarious enjoy bankruptcy everyone lol
@kirsten rissling that needs to happen sooner than later. I have been struggling to get by since the pandemic started. I was in college at the time and havnt been able to get back to school or work with my kids being at home off and on.
@M M are you serious? It means they control our income. It wouldn’t be temporary. I know that sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but if we can think it up, they can think it up.
@kirsten rissling it doesn’t at all mean they control your income. It means anyone making under a certain amount gets topped up. No more welfare no more EI. Everyone, everyone, would be guaranteed a basic income. And if you make more than it, you don’t get it. Pretty simple and life saving
@AvaLeafs10 if we could keep this civil, I’d be interested in how you think replacing welfare with a different name would help? To me, giving everyone money might be bad for the economy. Minimum wage would have to go up, wouldn’t it? Nobody would bother working for anything under the basic amount they would get for doing nothing.
The same folks who keep preaching about following the science sure do a great job of ignoring it. Canada’s always a dollar short and a day late. Terrible leaders that Canadians re-elect expecting different results.
Yeah, I call them the “science screamers” and they are as bad as the science deniers.
What is the science?
Our “elections” aren’t really elections. We barely pass as a democracy.
Ford wants you to follow the political science.
My parents in Florida say kids there haven’t missed a minute in class. Can this expert pick up a phone please…
This woman has recommended that schools remain open tho… She doesn’t control the final result.
Most States are wide open, they are strong and Free, except some Dem states, we are cowardly here in Comuda
She is the Ottawa public health officer. She advocates for keeping schools open. Ontario provincial public health officials have the final say, however.
Kids seem to be less fearful than adults these days it’s like the adults have become the children lol
a lot of these children < 7 have no real recollection of good bluepilled cuck times
Liberals are children.
This just is the system is broken beyond repair.
Teachers get half the pay then?
I think she made a mistake, she meant to say almost 6 months
Ahah fuking so true
Why does every healthcare leader across Canada look like they walked out of a Star Wars film?
She looks more like Dora the Explorer😂
she must of liked alberta’s Dr hinshaw’s haircut.
Hahahaha
They went for the screen test, but didn’t get picked lol..
It’s the tasteless freekish bangs..
if experts are 100% wrong about everything for 2 years are they still experts?
I’m going to assume you’re the expert here. Please communicate your expertise
@Max Weinbach why make that assumption? Why make a reasonable question into some out of pocket personal attack or degradation? If they aren’t an expert, do they not have a right to ask something fairly obvious? Do you have an answer? Do you have anything of use to add? I’m going to go ahead and assume you are a troll.
@Patrick Taylor “if experts are 100% wrong about everything” isn’t an assumption. Conditional clauses assumes that the person making the statement knows what the main clause is.
Let’s start from there champ.
only if they have the nickname karen and are addicted to iphones and facebook.
Imagine all the Chief medical officers helped in the hospitals.they would be double staffed.
karens do not help. they just preach ego facebook religiion.
Imagine a situation where if you add an average of three patients per hospital it breaks the system? Every single hospital administrator needs to be fired in this province.
Schools are closed but Dougie’s favourite fast food, BURGER KING is open.
A whopper a day, Dougie can’t stay away.
Many families have been homeschooling for years perfectly fine without schools set it’s called internet connection and technology you can basically teach yourself anything you want as for keeping restaurants like Burger King open that’s because you need food to live you don’t need to go to public school to live but you do need food.
You paying for the babysitter for the next four weeks ? I’ll just send you the bill in the mail. Thanks Doc !!
Tbh I initially disliked the video through instinct, but this doctor is actually trying to keep schools open, with I agree with. You can still tell that she’s hesitant to actually just flat out say “COVID is not dangerous to kids, kids need socialization, teachers need to step up and teach these kids, etc.” but at least she’s opposing the new restrictions
Just wondering, why is there a different top doctor every week. There was another top doctor last week.
We’re supposed to “help our neighbours” but we can’t get close to them.
