They sure like to throw around the R word a lot.
It has zero meaning these days.
Racist word overused and reasoning is lost when you use it.
There is no other reason for the ban , it is not based on science because one needs to produce a negative covid result before flying so what is the reason? Makes absolutely no sense .
@Dane Willams because its still possible to test false negative
@Slay Jay PCR test is unreliable
Everything is racist to these clowns. 😂
Only African countries are banned, why? There is no basis, one needs to produce a negative result before boarding a plane so why are only African countries banned when the variant has already spread around the world? South Africa is a country with the worlds top scientists and those scientists are saying there is no basis for the ban on countries in Africa, so why the ban?
@Dane Willams no one wants joggers
@Dane Willams Because the politicians and “public health officials” are incompetent. Haven’t you realized this by now after 19 months of stupidity?
Wawa wacism , if you look for it everywhere you’ll find it! Couldn’t give a hoot about moronic variants, not afraid will not comply
is she saying omicron is racist?
Days late and a couple million short
The only acceptable restrictions are those upon domestic middle class ppl. 😀
Cheap politics
👎
Of course ..what’s new?
I’m racist, he’s racist, she’s racist, everybody is racist 😆 🤣 😂
At least they’re eating themselves now
Problem with News today it is opinion based just report the news will form our own opinions thanks
I’m not racist… I own a colour T.V !
But do you mix colors with whites when you do laundry
@mrpotatohead and hisfantastic eyebrows I sure do lol
Evan is a shill or he is very stupid. If u call his radio show and disagree with him he kills the call. His topics are always one sided.
Probably selling some art on the other line.
He is as deplorable as they come.
Blame the miserable weather in Canada for the bitterness
She should resign then
This is based on science 😂🤣
Why does Canada and other countries have more cases than the country it apparently originated in?
Simple answer? it comes down to two things, Travel, and disposable income. Canadians are wealthier than south africans so our travel there, far outweighs their travel here, should they even come. So it’s always going to be a very take over give scenario.
@Shawn Dejong what makes you think South Africans are poorer than Canadians ?
@Kevin Gamoe Well as one economic indicator of commercial activity our GDP is about 4x that of S.A. Then there’s average income, in which the average income for a S.A. resident is about 14k a year where as Canadian av. income is a touch over 54k… So again… disposable income, and travel.
@Shawn Dejong Amount of testing is another factor. Many African countries do not have or cannot afford the testing kits.
@Shawn Dejong comes down to a completely made up story
