    1. so Canadian news channels will.ever ask real questions? or Canadians news channels will not never ask real questions?

    2. Ming Fung because your so smart and have exceptional punctuation, I will assume you work in a bio lab and like to fly often. 🙌🏻

  1. How is this girl, leading the show?? I am sure we have much more qualified.
    She cant even go 5 words without “um” & “ah”.
    Her explanations are worthless

  2. Hi… um… I’m Theresa… um… tam.. ahh… chief public.. uhh… Heath minister… uhhhhh.

  3. You are in charge Dr. TAM……you have been wrong about almost everything so far. I’m starting to think you may be more concerned with China’s reputation than preventing this pandemic…….why are flight from China still allowed under your management?

    1. You are trying to argue and heckle a brilliant person. This not a 100% predictable situation. This is not a political but a medical expert. No smoke and mirrors.

    2. @Kelly Toronto Too much news just because she is a so called medical expert doesn’t mean she is automatically right or has a specific plan of action heck there is many other doctors with lower profiles who know what they are doing and have better plans of action

  4. Sweden didn’t lock down and now it’s death per capita rate from C19 is the same as New York state, sad.

  5. Lack of sanitation and staffing budgets at some care homes may have given a false sense of death rate as care was not provided in a timely manner or at all. We need to know those that died OF covid19 and those that happen to die with it but not because of it. In one Quebec care home there was 30 deaths but only 5 attributed to the virus thus the investigation underway.

  6. The Federal Liberals have failed badly through lies, lack of action, lack of preparation, refusal to end open borders policy and inadequately screening international flights.

  7. Why did Don Braid write the liberals weren’t warned soon enough. Our military warned them in November, December of 2019.

  8. I saw a DASH-8 flying over Vernon and landing in Kelowna about an hour ago. I thought no flights were going to that airport ? Nothing but lies from the liberals.

  9. Is it legal to hold Dr.Tam down, open her mouth and cut out her tongue ? I hope it is. And also Patty Hadju should recieve the same treatment.

  10. 100% are linked to China.
    Government still buying defects products from said nation!
    TEAM CHINADA!
