So incompetent
Exactly how it should? There is currently, a population larger than Canada’s under lockdown because of this virus and we are supposed to think that self reporting is adequate?
Apparently self report is first class disease detection system in Canada. It took a lot of investments to design signs telling passengers to self report. This is the same genius strategy as “Canada is open for business” signs by the Harper and Ford governments.
@A CB Not to mention the first case didn’t even report his symptoms to the border agents. I think i’d feel safer in the Philippines or Australia at this point. Patty, Justin and Francois-Philippe are a disgrace to this country. The history books wont be kind to them.
All it takes is one liar or careless person to wreck the whole plan. So unsafe.
How is she the health minister of Canada……
She seems to have a solid background. What’s your problem?
Did you get a clear answer? There you go.
@roof pizza She has a B.A in liberal arts LOL. Liberals must defend their own ; no one else will
@roof pizza wumao
Are you kidding, she’s extremely well briefed
We’re so fare behind, we think we’re first. Sad!
asymptomatic can still shed virus???… please be clear
Prayers for all
Yes
@Christina Bragge Thankyou. So why then is Canada not quarantining for 14 days anyone who is arriving from Wuhan or in any infected area ?
Just asking why our protocol is not congruent with others who say the same? No wonder the confusion?
@charlotte collins I’m not sure, to be honest.
no questions were answer and Canada’s heath policies are decide by WHO
Thats decided by CCP China. So China is running Canada.
no they arent
This government should be fired
I hope Canadians will remember this, when election time comes again!!! Putting Canadian citizens at risk!
Lol. That sounds so weird but true at the same time.
Every other country has claimed that this virus IS contagious BEFORE displaying symptoms. Our health minister says otherwise? Are you kidding me? RESIGN NOW.
I noticed that the other day.
She sure down plays the situation like it is a common cold. I didn’t hear one clear answer from her. Can’t believe she is Health Minister. I smell a rat. The “situation”, whenever I hear that instead of calling what it is raises questions when there are really no stated answers.
placate the general public
Send money keep them there. No risking bringing the disease here. No pandemic for me!
Her answer seems incorrect. What we know about the disease right now is that asymptomatic transmission has been confirmed. By the time the health minister comes up with a plan to evacuate trapped Canadians, the pandemic will be over…
With health minister like this, we are doomed.
AS USUAL! She speaks with forked tongue…
Dear Government – CLOSE THE BORDERS and PLACE ALL THAT HAVE RECENTLY ARRIVED IN QUARANTINE!!! Please!
That is the responsible thing to do so of course they won’t do it!
Please!!!
She didn’t answer 1 question.
We have narsissistic officials that talk more about how “great” they are, than safe guarding Canadians from this virus shedding. There are credible research papers based on this outbreak that show an RO of 2.68 (Flu is 1.28) a complication rate of 20% (think respirators in the hospital) clear evidence of asymptomatic transmission and even a prolonged shedding of the virus after the patient is becoming well. Canadian officials need to follow the science, not politics in this matter.
canada is all about unions and political correctness
She is stating things completely opposite of what is seen in airports.
Trump already brought the Americans back last week
Canada did to, diplomats made run on 29th without telling anybody
Totally incompetent 🤬😠
If this goes sideways we will demand show trials This liberal government is a danger to all Canadians
Incompetence at its finest right there!
Unfortunately this time it’s at the cost of our lives and not just our jobs or wallets.
