Thank you CBC for turning on comments... now it would be great to see some of these comments on the nightly National NEWS

Don't mean to be mean; I find Rosemary Barton unappealing to listen to. Can't do it, moving onto Global.

Please note that many are not minority groups as suggested here. Some people like myself, was set to open business April 1rst, recieved tax numbers, incurred large opening debt, but then was forced close to not open, at all. I did not earn $ 5, 000.00 last year, so i miss the qualify. Many are left out, for this reason. I will be bankrupt before i open.

Why can't parliament do Zoom meetings like the rest of the world?

On behalf of all of the frontline healthcare workers, more specifically, long term care facilities for challenged adults, instead of subsidizing wages could you please maybe not tax overtime hours. Even when these workers are only making 17 dollars an hour some have been on their jobsites round the clock 5 days straight and don't even qualify for any reprieve because of their overtime . Stop taxing their overtime, some of them haven't had showers in 5 days, seen the loved ones BUT have not walked off the job and have not left work. Stop taxing their overtime ...they have no choice ...there aren't enough workers!!!!

Good, this will stop unlawful border crossing which is a good thing for Canada 🚷

Make the border closing for another 60-90 days would be a better solution. Give the americans time to sink or swim.

I work in a retirement home in Saskatoon we wear gloves we were a mask and we always wash your hands this is a must have a retirement home

[GiarkReleos]

Lets all hope the USA-Canada border stays closed till next year at least !!

[karenosborne]

IMO, regardless of feelings of my Prime Minister, I am grateful to be living here and not across the border during these times. The numbers are there in plain view for us to see the result of the mentality of the president compared to the steps that are being taken here. While there are some provinces here too that started later to put restrictions in place, their numbers are higher too. The key to getting this under control is early restrictions and social distancing.

Any body else feel bad for the priminister having to deal with trump rn. Imagine having to explain why the border needs to be closed longer to trump.

[hotmit]

Safety is the most important, of course not open border US-Canada now, until US have no more case COVID-19, Canadians do not need sharing virus from US, ok TRUMP

[josephineharkness]

Ok. for you Trudeau, keep everything closed for another month by all means! You’re not the one with no job, no paycheque, no money for rent!!!

[crystaljeanveaunorthernlig]

Why did we get a one time Gst benefit but next month get nothing....

[herpderp]

exactly where is all this bail out money coming from?

[chandatim]

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT HAS DONE A GREAT JOB AND SAFE LIVES FROM COVID-19. I AM VERY APPRECIATED AND I LIKE YOU AS A PRIME MINISTER TO CONTINUE DOING THE RIGHT DECISION NOT TO OPEN THE BORDER WITH USA TOO SOON .
