  1. Companies that have thrived like Amazon and liquor manufacturers should be taxed to help make up for lost revenue and jobs elsewhere.

  2. So…it is a setting on my computer or are these guys purposely putting ads for their other videos across the text story?

    1. If you mean at the end of the video.. they need to take into consideration the length.. end the text then have a longer outro that has no important info

  3. First of all who are these experts?
    What makes them experts?
    How did they rate countries?
    We are a big country in size but relatively small population
    Can we know their names these experts

    1. Look in the description for a link on the full story. That answers most of your questions, except how they rated the countries. You need to put a little more effort to find out how they rated.

      Edit: Also part of their name was already provided in the video on the left column of their chart.

    2. Propaganda experts hired by the Canadian government. Sounds more like what North Korea would do.

  4. Not sure why, but I am getting the feeling that Trump is going to be in power after November and Trudeau will not.

    1. @Tony oh the right is so mad over WE controversy, they may embarrass the Liberals so much they may not him out, or finally get a vote of non confidence so Canadians will be made to risk their health to go and vote.

    2. @Tony I agree the WE thing is an issue.
      I say table any issue of it, back committee it… to a time when we are not dealing with a pandemic and the oil industry crisis in Alberta.
      Then make a resolution on it, whatever. Deal with it ad nauseam. Great.
      Just. Not. Now.

    3. @B. K. Thanks for your comment. I’m usually not a liberal but they handled the pandemic well (better than the conservatives if in power imho). I don’t care about the WE controversy since It doesn’t effect me financial, physically or emotionally. I’m happy that the Alberta Oil sands is under scrutiny and I believe it’s a project the Liberal Government should abandon. 2 out of 3 for the Libs. Not bad.😊

    1. Well, they lie. Same as dozens of countries like Thailand, Russia, Mexico, DPRK, Philippines, Cambodia etc, etc, etc.

    2. @rhyno514 I pointed out why Chyna wasn’t mentioned.
      Well they may very well be on the list, I see about 160 other countries not on the list. So what.
      Was the story about China? No.
      This person seems to be trying to redirect the conversation to Chyna and doesn’t care about how the countries have done.

    3. @rhyno514 I added that answer to the one I just posted.
      Trumpists love to come on here and make the conversation about Chyna, and deflect from their own failing government non response.

  5. Once again half the story covered over with ads for other videos that will have 1/2 the story covered over by ads for vireos that will have 1/2 of the story covered over by ads …………..

  6. Canada could have done better if the borders had been closed sooner, flights from contaminated China prevented and the WHO had been prepared for the pandemic.

    1. Probably could have also done better , and do better if it wasn’t a planned event, they had event 201 in October for a novel corona virus pandemic (never happened in history) so to say they didn’t prepare is nonsense , they couldn’t have been more prepared , the novel prize winner who discovered HIV said it was a bioweapon and lots of experts real experts supporting it

    2. Or if our public health officials stopped stressing washing your hands a million times a day, as if it were the flu. Oh, they’re still doing that…

  7. wonder who paid for these experts opinion on the matter…
    because certainly no real “expert” does anything for free.

  8. Like the video until the end when you can’t read anything due to the links to other videos.. maybe put them toward the top of the video instead of the bottom blocking subtitles..

  9. So the world as a whole got a C? Aren’t letter grading scales supposed to have a B- or a B as the expected average of the test? So on average the world did below average… I guess Mars can get an A+ for zero cases
