I guess we’re all in this together until we’re not.
Trent Trombley months to late cause this is what they want while they install 5g
@PA G selfish americans
@WTF Again? true that. America only joined ww2 after pearl harbor was attacked.
We’re all in this together until Trump gets involved.
@Heather Larson quiet, simpleton.. do you know where the pulp comes from for these masks?
This is what happen when we don’t have own manufacturing factory in Canada.
@Alex Gong China…
@Ixights uh huh. With 20% of the parts coming from China. But feel free to make it all in America. I’m sure millions will be lining up to work 14 hrs a day for 4$. Thats after American corporations spend the billions required to set up the infrastructure and the population increases 3 fold to have enough workers. America has always relied on some form of slave system to maintain its consumer appetite and corporate greed. It’s bred into the psych. Don’t always believe the hype, use logic after all that’s what got ivanka all her Chinese pattens, and daddy’s cheap shirts and ties
@Ixights the usa makes those masks using canadian pulp
.usa relies on canadian goods materials considerably..
You can say that about almost everything: car, computer, software, cloud service, etc. That’s why China embraces self-reliance policies. Even western countries stab each other in the back in such case. China can’t rely on western countries for its own prosperity. Trump at the moment is hindering China’s semiconductor industry, but China will overcome this obstacle in the long run.
@PA G how pray tell is Trudeau turning our country into a 3rd world. The americans, china and saudis are treating Canada like the new Africa. That has nothing to do with Trudeau. If you disagree give me some examples.
The reporter does not know the difference between ventilators and simple face masks.
Either does Trump
Sultan Mabini he fired all the experts
@Randy neither*
It *is* confusing. Because they do call them “N95 ventilators” for some reason. Maybe it tests better in marketing studies? Not sure.
You bash President Trump then wonder why he’s not helping. Your morons, you deserve what you get.
We have our own companies that make masks etc here in Canada.
Zenith-Safety-Products and some others make masks etc. I bought N95, N100 P100 masks at regular prices
@James You turn it inside out first.
Eddy Spreitzer n95 masks have a filter on the outside, not the inside.
Eddy Spreitzer that makes no sense lol 😂
Rose Stewart Can’t afford it, Trudeau needed a raise and the illegals need room service and dental care.
@G G Microwave kills the virus as well.
Their brokers are selling masks to the highest bidder. 3M is allowing this to happen.
This is why we as Canadians need to manufacturer our own things and protect our manufacturers from leaving Canada!
Proud Canuck ya America can’t survive without the food they get from other countries
TJMCMASTER pretty sure 3m does not manufacture masks in the Canadian plants. Mostly just office and building supplies.
@Felix el chingon study some history before you look foolish.
I agree should be manufactured in canada as well
chris So what the problem when China gaining power ? Canada will be Canada, nothing will be effected
🤣 Look who’s panicking and hoarding now.
He’s like a month too late. Next month he’ll be looking for respirators.
Canada care manufactures started to build ventilators for Canada like a month ago.
@Icia Jay The question is, are they “building them” faster than the virus can spread?
No, next month he will have to find somebody to run the country.
Don’t worry, Jared can fix anything.
Guys he’s talking about trump
This coronavirus is a tragedy for sure, but honestly Im glad its showing Corporate Capitalism and Globalism for what it really is.
Globalism is stupid idea that can never happen and should never happen.
Crood everyone should have known America was the most selfish garbage country in the world, I mean it’s been obvious for so many years. This shouldn’t be shocking to anybody
kinda new this before but having this time to think and realizing soberingly that human life in “civilized countries ” is all just making money ?? money money !! looking out for each other ?? nah money money !!
Still rather live here than in Russia or China.
@Crood i hope the leader of every country is caring most about their citizens. That is their job.
We need to get our own systems up, and running, in Canada!
We already do. Thats why trump put in this order. America is in a mask shortage.
Hollins23 ..We have been!
I know…but it’s not enough.
There is a 3M manufacturing plant in Ontario. Why doesn’t Trudeau order them to produce masks?
Why we don’t just throw Ontario 3M out of Canada
Walter B. Political correctness is a mental disorder.
Blue Marbel because Trudeau is a do nothing pm who values Muslims over natural born Canadians and only protects pedos. Your dollar is tanking and your tax is %15. Enjoy voting him back in.
Walter B. Yep you’re Canadians who don’t think you have a choice. Sheeple
Because you voted for him.
This is what happens when we dont have our own companies manufacturing things we need.
Should Canada manufacture everything we need and cut imports to zero? Even if stuff is cheaper elsewhere?
@ExPFC Wintergreen v2.0 Like I said in other posts…Wages are too high in Canada. They should be taken back to the 1960 level and cut wasted government spending elsewhere.
Roger Weir this is why trump got elected but the democrats for 3 years have prevented him from trying and laughing at him
Roger Weir you do.
I’m glad to see these comments… Has Canadians spread the word never forget. The truth was exposed our countries cannot produce anything because factories were dismantled jobs lost for the cheap labor overseas… Now look where we are a country that cannot fend for itself. Great comments here today
It’s alright guys we can put mayple syrup in our noses
Lmao
I have 1 pack unopened 3m n95 mask, haven’t used it yet
Shaq Kobe I have like 2
@Shaq Kobe Dont throw it away after using it. You can sanitize it after use and re-use it again. Vaporized hydrogen peroxide can be used to sanitize it without degrading its integrity. But if you dont have a vaporizer…. u can always try to mist out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide onto a mask.
Hahaha perfect!
We already need more jobs just make the masks ourselves
Hiecrashgeek Studios …why can we not make alot of things ourselves…have green house on large scale to grow veggies etc.. Lets make Canada proud…do things for ourselves…Maybe we should build a wall? Lol…just kiddin…did Donald finish the wall? Hope there was enough masks for the poor cement workers…Lets work with what we have…amaybe Mr. Trudeau would go with that…everyone always runs him down…must be hard for him to even try…😢sad..
Skjeren Kristjenson were to stupid
@Joe Smo …I beg to differ with you…I already know the kind I want…with the attached sun glasses, big nose and furry eye brows! 😁…I think that would make a person look intelligent…🤔🥳and serve to make a statement! 🤨😁
Cause it might cause global warming. Lol..
cuckservatards are so narrow and simple minded. You can’t just setup a random building and let anyone make medical grade masks, not to mention automation and machinery reduces the need to hire every moron avaiable
Canada should cut the electricity going to the USA….we can play that game also.
Nebula One you get the materials to make the masks from Canada
@Stay Positive But we don’t need to. You act like we can’t be independent. We have all the resources we need to make PPE. My mom can make PPE easy. Stop acting like we need to count on Canada or any other country when we don’t. PLASTIC AND FABRIC aren’t super rare!
Nebula One go to bed! It’s bed time.
@Stay Positive the paper for the n95 IS made in Canada…and yes Canada will be starting making n95 mask …sorry trump..you brainless clown !
@Nebula One those mask are made with a special wood pulp whos coming from here so ok will m1ke our own and youll create those mask from thin air since will keep it for ourself
Stop sending Canadian drugs south until this is over.
Your economy would buckle. 3/4ths of your exports go to the United States. We could cut off military protection and you would have to increase military spending, further straining your economy. Say goodbye to that free health care you value so much. Crazy that you think we’re in the wrong for putting our citizens first. Canada has 14,000 cases compared to 311,000 in the USA, yet 3M would rather sell to Canada.
@Ole Tim Herr Why doesn’t Trudeau stop that??? It works BOTH WAYS you know. Trump is playing dirty. Time to teach HIM a lesson.
@Shaq Kobe 3M SHOULD ABIDE CANADIAN RULES.. since they are PRODUCING IN Canada.
@Guess Who I don’t understand WHY 3M IN Canada, is following Trump’s rules. If they are in Canada.. they SHOULD BE FOLLOWING Canada’s rules.
no Canada is bigger than trump we should show resolve and be what we are THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD Canada is already great and we are better than his ideals
well send the hauwei lady back to china and call it even…
“I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.” — Lily Tomlin
Wow I love this one! <3
100% be the change you want to see in the world ! yes
I will try toremember this one.
How about we stop sending our nurses to Detroit to work in their hospitals.
Isn’t it Canada that supplies the materials to make these masks?
Yep exactly
Trump looks pretty high on what ever he taking,everyday trump comes up really short on anything
