    1. @Bolizen all these companies are working with the WHO.They have made billions as mom and pop stores have gone under.this is the great reset.Transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich

    1. @s h go ask your friends, go ask their friends, ask anybody you can if they know somebody that DIED from covid. Then ask them to prove it. You’ll be surprised with your results I’m sure of it.

    2. @Rangus I don’t think he does, but I think he has been threatened and/or enticed to do this because this is a 180 degree turn for him.

    3. Neechi Psycho I have yet to run into ANYONE who even got it??? Of course you hear about a “friend of a friends uncles brothers cousin” contracting it, but that’s it.

    4. @s h COVID restrictions were originally sold as desperate measures for a couple of weeks to “flatten the curve” so that hospitals wouldn’t be overwhelmed. The goal posts have been moved so far in the distance that you can’t see them anymore.

    1. @Tony Thurston please actually educate yourself on the difference between being offended and being triggered. they are very different things.

    2. @ix jet what exactly was offensive in the statement ” The Lady in the back seems mad” if you find that offensive i suggest you are unbalanced, and yes “triggered”

    1. @Billy Hill I think it’s not dirt but illuminati MK Ultra mind control…This is NOT Doug Ford

    1. The virus don’t affect politicians, pretty smart virus. Doesn’t affect rioters or blm protestors neither, but don’t go to church, the virus loves churches.

    1. AK Kk see the conservatives know we’re all in this together, but the liberals actually like what’s happening. You see where I’m going with this?

  1. So it’s safe to have large gatherings as long as it’s costing me money and I’m supporting a business?

    1. An that business will prob be gov funded .. here in nb I see a lot of businesses which I don’t think were essential still open … you know the small ones that have gov grants they stay open!!

  2. This pandemic is an introvert’s dream come true and an extrovert’s worst nightmare. That is all I have to say.

    1. Because that’s more probable than making prudent decisions in response to rising cases numbers in specific regions. You can’t claim it didn’t work to lower numbers before.

    2. @Blank Space Provided You’re operating under the false assumption this is a deadly pandemic and not an overblown flu.
