You got some sources to cite for that "women are disproportionately affected by covid" statement?

Anything for ODSP people? We can't afford delivery and often we are immunecompromised.

Fear that Social separation will break ties relationships and social strictures. This leads to the bed of societies with nothing but power and violence.

Interesting Gavi was founded by Bill & Melinda Gates. 🤔

[nugtgold]

What is the stock ticker symbol for Gavi? Is it traded on the TSX?

i would love to know why people on disability pensions are not important to any one they got nothing no money to help them out and no body cares i would like to see the rest of the world to live on eight thousand a year with a twenty dollar raise a year for inflation who comes up with what they should get i think that person should have to try and live on eight thousand a year for a few years and see how they feel then come on give them a break at least give them enough to pay rent and eat to and may be have enought to go to a movie once a month or go to a resturant once a moth

I would like the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to also help another sector of the population who has the same hardships as the majority of citizens - "the disabled on fixed ODSP income". The disabled have been under-funded for many years (our monthly income is comparable OAS without the GIS)

[michellepoole]

When is the payment coming through for them?

There is a translation for people who are can't hear. But why is there not a translation for English speaking Canadians who are at least 80 %?

[conciousnessm]

More of our money sent outside the country? How much?

[robertgarnett]

[jeanlawrence]

When do we get to go out & work open stores

$8000 for foreign students... 300 for seniors

I wonder if we could make a French video, and an English video...Would save viewers a lot of time (for both languages)

Wouldn't we be entitled to funds if on EI after losing our jobs, cannot afford medication beside other expanses, electricity, food, heating oil, transportation on top of rent we are struggling, .

[louiseniro]

Danielle I know that of which I speak. I already have a friend who has died due to canceled surgery in order to have resources available just in case someone in his community would get caronavirus. You telling me to be aware of the needs of others is insulting to say the least.

Un vrai " DRAMATURGE " jamais je n'oublierai que mon Pays a expédier au mois de Février, 16 tonnes de matériels médicales en Chine. J'aimerais une explication

[Bruceedwards-in-awe]

Remarkable how many people just trash our PM. This is a hell of a time to be critical. I look around the world and am so very thankful for the remarkable efforts here.

[mbroverm]

a one time payment, how lucky we seniors are, not even monthly like our bills, mortgages, rent needs, etc

I feel like I’m watching the school teacher talk on Charlie Brown .. blah blah bla blah blah blah blah blah blah
