    1. All the money in the world if you catch it and die are you going to take it to your grave right now we just have to go on full Lock down and find out who has the virus while it’s still early

  1. All this money is going to come from our taxes. They are going to go up in the future to make back what is lost from this. We are going to be paying out of our pocket for this in the end. Keep working now if you can so you’ll’ be ahead when this blows over.

    1. McInTEC they’re supposed to have emergency funds and leave room in budgets for these types of emergencies… let’s hope you’re wrong

    1. zeldera That’s what you doomers were saying in 2009 when Obama bailed out banks and automakers…and then the world experienced sustained economic growth until this situation hit.

    2. ​@Eh Ess the bailout never fixed anything. The growth from 2009 – now is the biggest bubble in history

  2. Loan programs for small businesses is not relief. It is a deferral of PAIN. How about some respect shown to small businesses that are the actual engines of wealth generation this country. I expected more from the ONT PCs.

  3. Can we just go on full lock down already the longer we don’t the more dangerous that’s going to be
    Please let’s not work on hindsight we should have closed all borders in January I been saying

    1. @JAY I actually been because I been shorting the market as soon as they lock down china knew supply and demand was going to be hit and following every news every information we should learn from China and Italy don’t act when it’s here

    2. b happy how about otherwise since u said its not about money? And its beyond you its about other Canadians that dont do stocks

    1. From our tax dollars.  There is NO such thing as “free” government money it is ALL OUR Money

    2. @Mary Ann Summers Actually it’s not even that lol We pay our taxes to the CENTRAL BANK, Then they go ahead and loan some back to the government at 3x or 4x the amount BORROWED. That’s why you have a SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBER. That’s why we are in so much DEBT to the IMF.

    1. It’s true, it will end up being socialism for the rich from 9ur tax dollars by the end of this

  4. We need to wear masks in big cities. Too many ppl. Everyone wearing masks can avoid breakout and keep certain activities and business going. See Singapore Hong Kong Taiwan.
    Masks and pocket size sanitizer are the best friends now.

  5. I take it that the teachers have been laid off like everyone else, maybe they can go out and strike now that they have time and the union can give them strike pay.
    JUST SAYIN !

  6. I have told so many times to close the boarder since two weeks ago….and now, I told you again , wear masks!
