    1. @powerslide000 Because they are different bugs, with different outcomes, different knowledge bases, and different genomes. Influenza has ⅓ that of COVID-19, and behaves completely differently.

      Study micro, then get back to me.

    1. @silencz1 Three months actually. This is how long it took our Gangsta Govmt to react by copy-pasting what our actual leader, Trump, has done. Yep. We have no Govmt actually.

    2. @Deimos Yes like yourself, unemployed because you have a shyte job. Anyone else with a real job is still working and understanding what others are going through, except for the STM, as usual. Syndicated goons, like cops here.

    3. @Bigdog Bulldog Nothing is more important than keeping your enslaved populace drunk and spending, come on guy. Who do you think you are, dictating what a community should be like? Let’s all fear an affliction less fatal than the common cold ffs, because that’s what Canadians do; cower. By Canadians I obviously mean immigrants because thats what the country is made out of. No not citizens; actual immigrants; legal or not.

    4. @silencz1 They are already giving “handouts” to the banks and big corporations. The employees get paid time off, but the landlord still wants his rent money while this outbreak is in affect. So how are small to medium sized businesses going to afford $3000-$50000 per month in rent on a commercial lease for the next 4 months if they have no business? Even if the landlord is forced to allow them the 4 months before collecting rent, they are going to be looking for 4 months rent all at once, though from what I’ve seen they are still expecting rent money. The majority of small to medium sized businesses in Canada would be bankrupted by this, causing the unemployment rate to skyrocket and allow big corporations to buy out small to medium sized businesses. Yes, it’s already been two weeks and they should already have this in place. Rent is due in 4 days!

  1. The power of the many in the hands of a few. What a lovely system. Peace and love to all who serve it.

    1. stefan cupovic “The power of the many in the hands of a few” I believe you can call that a dictatorship.

    2. @David Smith
      A dictatorship would be better than this

      This whole thing proves the axis should have won

  2. Close construction sites please. We can’t access EI if you don’t. Stop listening to the real estate developers, our lives are more important than a foreign investor’s portfolio

    1. If your life is more important than a foreign investor’s portfolio, then stop working as a brickman? Also, stop living, I guess, because these issues will always exist, especially since there is no issue actually happening at the moment and you’re trying to make a deal out of thin air. Just go bag my groceries, guy, thanks.

    2. @Properganda You can’t even get yourself against a wall to stand straight, bish. No need for commie agitation.

    3. You can bet the management are all kicked back at home right now while the workers continue to slave and put themselves at risk.

    4. Condo construction is essential but open house showings are not allowed. Think about how serious this is. There is a lot of money tied up in construction contracts, if projects are late there can be huge penalties. Money it seems is more important than safety. It almost seems like greed is worth more than a life.

    1. @Properganda You don’t have anything against anything. The commies have got you against an imaginary wall though. Let’s see if you believe in it.

    2. question…if we beat covid do we beat the flu..like isnt covid 10x more infectious
      and also lives longer

    3. @Ladner J
      This is why you need to read with the virus. Just because a 3 year old can’t read doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read with them, moreso it is the reason you should read with them

  3. “Small business need to pay their fair share” as his Chief fundraiser was named in the Paradise Papers.

    1. How do you expect business owners to do their share ..WHEN they are not making money if they have to close!!!!!
      They may go out of business and there will be no jobs for employees coming back
      They should get more help,

    2. @Lynda Mcrae Small business will die, then incentives for FOBs will pop up in order to lower the GDP so the elites make more. The end. Second wave of communism. Same as fifty years ago.

    1. @Dylan Leaman Anderson that’s a tad cruel your putting all the apples in same basket. Shame on you to judge

  4. No matter which language i speak i can assure you that i can’t understand it when it’s at the same time 😶

    1. I agree with you doesn’t matter that understand both languages; I have to switch between French/English channels every time Trudeau or Legault speak so that I don’t hit the TV.

    1. I wish to correct you. It should read, “Dude has no clue.”….period. Truth is he’s knitting with only one needle.

    2. @SoManySkinks what a completely insane comment. we would be still be starting fires with sticks and stones without capitalism.

    3. @Anand
      Eliminate all small businesses. Only business corporation like Bombardier, Master Card, Loblaws, Irving, BELL and SNC should do ALL businesses in Canada.

  5. I live in Hamilton Ontario and I see businesses open everywhere so I don’t think all of should get help only the one that are doing what they are told there is a company nextdoor granding paint off balconies so tell me how that is essential…….. I will wait .

    1. Just so you know, I doubt companies who are working right now, won’t be able to prove any loss.
      it will be in other service industries where one deals with customers and prospects face to face, who can prove loss due to this – salons, homeworkers, maintenance workers, babysitters, etc.
      It will be determined due to true need and the amount probably adjusted to fit each case.
      Calm down.

  6. Why bother having live translation when the PM justs repeats the same answer in both languages anyway?

    1. @Toon Link Better then the actual right wingers that go on all those actual shooting sprees, I guess

      Words hurt less

    2. @Barbara Mulvaney You’re so tolerant of others Barb! You’re views and opinions are the only ones that matter.

  7. I love how everyone is here all triggered with their “comments” and “suggestions”, like the Prime Minister is actually going to answer you in this YouTube chat XD

    1. How do you know the comments are suggestions are for Turdeau?
      He’s already proven he doesn’t listen let alone care what the citizens say or think.

    1. Ur so Right, I couldn’t put my finger on y he keeps me out until I read ur comment n he does talk just like Snow

  8. I hear Justin is writing a book, to be called, “How To Buy Friends With Their Children’s Future Taxes.” When he says “We need to do more who is “We”?

  9. Why am I paying property tax when I am teaching my child and my acres of woods are cleaning the worlds carbon?

    1. @Ashleigh Jaima Osborne Doctors run away with the diplomas, hospitals are overpriced sheeholes built by gangsters, welfare is set up for FOBs, libraries are so 1980s, so are firefighters. Name more please, because so far those are all liabilities to real citizens who take care of themselves. This one family carrying themselves is worth more than having a proud blackface bish as a leader. Gods bless Gary Fischer.

    2. @three fold ‘libraries are so 1980s, so are firefighters’

      Imagine hearing this phrase and trying to figure out the original context. If anyone ever thinks for a moment the average sod is equipped to have an opinion on policy, go read some Youtube comments.

    3. Curious, do you use public roads, are you connected to the hydro-electric system, do you have access to publicly treated water, do you have access to public sanitation etc. I don’t have any children yet I don’t complain about property tax because believe or not, we as citizens owe it to our society to pay to keep it going. I’m cool pointed out too much of the tax burden is carried but the working class while corporations continue to get tax breaks at every turn. But this idea that we should only pay for the services we use is ridiculous.

    4. Are you Canadian ?
      This is normal in Canada.

      If you don’t pay for your ( Brian Bologna Mulroney) BOLOGNA fees then you are not Canadian.

    5. @jts1968 With the resources that this country has, every Canadian should be a millionaire! We are being screwed. Do you know how much tax we pay for “OUR” fuel? Carbon tax is a joke. Our forests clean the worlds carbon. Other countries should be paying Canada for keeping the air clean.

  10. why not instead of makeing sure the who has resourses, It has a leader that doenst pander to the ccp at the worlds expense. Just a suggestion

    1. @mark henwood I generally avoid politics – they just lie to get by. Was hoping something as serious as a pandemic would warrant some straight answers.

    2. @yesterdaysguy What pandemic? The never ending wars? Poverty? Slavery? …. Oh you’re talking about this flu! Oh, haha! well then.. dunno what to tell ya except welcome to life? sheet

    3. Uh we need to uh work together. Uh we are uh doing everything to help canadians. Uh we will work uh very hard to protect canadians uh um uh watter bottle drink box type things uh um uh ah um uhhh
