    1. @Mohameat TictocKaboom I would love too but that won’t help when it hits. We’ll see how glib you are then. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

    2. @Leeth Starwatcher but i thought the main philosophy behind all these government measures was to protect one another and that we’re all in this together. Well your statement isn’t conducive to that at all.

    1. They lockdown everything except big corporations and the airports where the variants come in from..

  1. All they have to do is take all NS nurses and doctors to Ontario to work for the duration. Problem solved for the ‘golden horsesh__.’

    1. @ChromeMan04 loll just for the poor in car..and by plane it was never close..stop watching tva loll

  2. One last thing you forgot. The money we will need to fix this sort of situation has been thrown away on measures that had no meanful chance of stopping the spread.

    1. Agreed. Ford went from the Premier of Ontario to king of Ontario.
      I don’t remember anyone saying anything about a King in the election.

  3. Ya ya… just let me know when I can go into my local store and buy myself some shoes and shorts for summer.

  4. Are those the same health officials caught on hot mike that they only repeat what the politicians told them to?

    1. Yup, I guess they’ve given her a new memo to read. And this time they told her to try and look serious.

    2. @Maxine Boxer She’s getting major profit sharing on those vaccines that hijack the immune system, so she has to keep up the charade.

  5. Isn’t this the lady who got caught on a hot mic saying she only reads what “they” tell her to say?

  6. I’m wearing mask since Jan 2020, and am going about all activities of daily public life. Never caught corona; not even common colds/ coughs that I was so prone to – in pre-mask era. I’m sure all these positive cases flouted some rule(s).

    1. Put 3 on just incase lol. FYI a mask doesn’t block out viruses. It’s like using a chain linked fence to block out mosquitos. I don’t wear a mask anywhere and havnt caught the cold or the covid either.

  7. My family members were at the Brampton hospital last week and they said it was quiet outside emergency.
