We have failed our senior's as a country! This is so sad! Many years ago I worked in long term care, we needed help then I couldn't imagine the help they need now during this pandemic! It's time for a change and it's up to our government to make the changes! Stop passing the buck between federal/ provincial and step up and do something and not only during this horrible time but for also the foreseeable feature for our elderly. It's been 13 plus years since I worked in long term care we cried for help then and nothing was done! My heart breaks for these seniors! Dogs are treated better than this! It's TIME FOR CHANGE!!

My husband has worked for Save On Food chain for 36 years!! Today, we find out that Save On Food is pulling the "Hazardous Pay" at the end of May 2020!!! I think that someone in government should put their foot down, especially when there are grocery store chains that will pay their employees the "Hazard Pay" until the end of the year!!!! Save On Foods, well has been know to be very cheap. Thank you everyone for keeping all of us Canadians up to date. I love watching Rose Marie, Vashee (sp?) and David!!! Also, where can the public get their hands on the report from Military regarding Ontario's Long Term Care Homes? Thank you for all information, much appreciated!!!

Canada is More than Just Ontario and Quebec btw

The federal government should be required to continue CERB until all businesses are permitted to re-open, particularly since many employers are NOT opting to utilize the wage subsidy. Failing to do so is not only reckless, it is abhorently selfish as politicians maintain their salary (including a pay hike for MPs amid Covid-19 outbreak) while ensuring the inevitable loss of employment, livelihood, and homes citizens the federal government is elected to represent, serve, and protect.

Stop wasting public funds by using a translator when the PM is already speaking both languages! I don't need to hear a repeat of what was already said

How about take that 1.5 billion dollars away from the crooks of the CBC and invest it in taking care of our seniors.

Why is it, only Ontario and Quebec have military backup for the senior homes, what about the other provinces?

[mikebelanger]

[juliemarlow]

Seniors quit trying to avoid the subject no help hope the goverment gets sued

[Andres-mhey]

Why would they cut away from what’s goin in PARLIAMENT and go back to the farty reporter? Awwww

[stephaniewhitehouse]

The deaths in these places are not due to the Corona virus then but more a question of the conditions there .

[selfassembly]

Who's directly responsible? The Owners of the homes, or the federal government? Prioritize your fire accordingly

The worst predator of the human being is himself! caruche2020

The virus was needed, to know the condition in which these, human beings lived.
It is incredible that no one said anything, in the condition in which these defenseless people lived, that their only crime is being old.
I wish with all my heart that all those responsible be punished.
All these organizations, public, private, or religious, should be asked to account for the money they receive.
All of us who help these organizations, or who receive money from the government, must demand that the money they receive be used to help old people in need and that it is not used, for the benefit of unscrupulous people, or the lack of it of human feelings, who are only interested in their own well-being, or that of their associates and that of their family.

¡El peor depredador del ser humano, es él mismo! caruche2020

Se necesito del virus, para saber de la condición en la que vivían estos, seres humanos.
Resulta increíble que nadie dijera nada, en la condición en la que vivían, estas personas indefensas que su único crimen es el ser viejos.
Deseo con todo mi corazón que se castigue, a todos los responsables.
Todas estas organizaciones, publicas, privadas, o religiosas, se les debe de pedir cuentas del dinero que reciben.
Todos los que ayudamos a estas organizaciones, o que reciben dinero del gobierno, debemos de exigirles que el dinero que reciban, sea empleado para ayudar a las personas viejas necesitadas y que no sea usado, para el beneficio de gente sin escrúpulos, o la falta de sentimientos humanos, que solo les interesa su propio bienestar, o la de sus asociados y la de su familia.
