      Make those 3 words into 1 word, add dotCom, & go to that website.
      Expect your life to likely hugely change in 10 minutes or less.

  1. I’m going to use my Charter of Rights, section 7, to ask for a second professionals opinion of my choosing.

    This is according to Patients Rights according to the law.

    1. Sorry but the charter dont apply to you . I would not dare claim to have charter rights. Charters are for CORPORATIONs ( corporate charter 😕)
      Section 23 clearly states who its for

    2. @Gear Trust Reviews You are thinking of a Corporate Charter.

      The Charter of Rights is part of the constitution.

      Read a book every once in a while.
      Also Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the section of the Constitution of Canada that guarantees minority language educational rights to French-speaking communities outside Quebec, and, to a lesser extent, English-speaking minorities in Quebec….

    3. @Richard C I don’t know why this message was hidden in the first place but here goes attempt number 2.

      Thankfully you are not a lawyer, because this clearly defined our freedoms, and our rights.

      I would advise memorizing this is you don’t ever want to end up in jail

    1. “debt reset”? LOL, there is no “reset”, just collapse. If the system was “reset”, YOU would suddenly be in possession of a mid-six figure lifestyle. No sir, “resetting” is what they are trying to avoid at all costs. And a “collapse” would mean that Canada would literally have no money for commerce for about a decade. Seriously, we would have to sell a bunch of stuff to another country to “borrow” their currency for day to day transactions and try to build it up from there, and I emphasize the word “try” as most countries are unable to restart their currency on the first attempt. Relax buddy, the truth is FAR worse than you think, and you’re probably just better off hiding under the bed until spring.

  2. Mortality rate reported by the cdc is 0.26% and all we hear is cases cases cases! The PCR tests have an 80% false positive rate. To suggest these crazy draconian measures are ludicrous!!! NO!!!

    1. Let’s not forget that if you have had a flu shot you will more than likely test positive. To many false positives.

    1. @TheCanadianLannister that lockdowns dont work and are a huge mistake. They said that months ago but our “leader’s” ignore them.

    2. @TheCanadianLannister they still won’t acknowledge the WHO now. Funny how that was all you were hearing about in the beginning..

    1. @Iseenoobpeoples No, the death rate is wrong because COVID deaths are counted using absurdly broad definitions. That’s certainly the case in B.C. and Ontario, and probably some of the other provinces too.

    2. @Call Me Ishmael there also wrong because of the high amount of false positives these tests yield, so even if somebody dies in a car crash and tests positive that test could hypothetically be null.

  3. get draconian? how about smart public health. put $$ into rapid testing. put $$ into vast disinfection. put $$ into supporting LTC facilities. shutdown the public access-ways, transit, postal service. shutdown all public services, and stop paying public servants their salary. then let’s see if the gov’t is so quick to shutdown small businesses. politicians are ruining the economy. and we’ll never get it to pre-covid levels again.

  4. The dame Trudeau government didn’t do their job at the start. Trudeau gave away tons of our PPE to China. he didn’t close down the borders soon enough. He still let flights form hot spots come into our airports and no was was quantried and let loose to walk around our cities. We still have illlegals still coming over of broader at Roxham rd. Government and Mayors let BLM, Antfia and other protestors run through our streets. Then there is government wanting to punish cold spots with more restrictions.

  5. Something needs to be quickly I don’t think the government understands what is going on in America and what they are doing to American lives

  6. I’ll be there with all my super friends, Lexi love …, and that’s about it for now . But that’s right Toronto we’re giving away ten million dollars , so be there .

  7. It appears that DOOM has settled across the entire globe….
    As my mother and I continue to go grocery shopping…
    We have never been in such a
    “do this and it will be better age of civilization”
    maybe I wasn’t clear enough in my prior post…
    The world’s health professionals and governments have decided that “EVEN AFTER 11 MONTHS” we need more isolation
    GO EXPLETIVE YOURSELVES….
    THERE HAS BEEN ZERO PROOF THAT IS WORKING…
