Hilarious how Canadian Media turns off comments to posted videos, so the public can't weigh in on this crazy response.

As Canadians, I feel the seniors are being left behind again! There is great sadness for the seniors who died from Covic-19. It is on the news and people are grieving. The seniors are humon to, they need to be protected now and in the future. The long term homes need to be updated staffed and inspected yearly. I tune in to the news daily sense we were hit with Covid-19, the press and government are all over the loss of seniors in long term homes, saying things must change but, it's rarely discussed in Trudeau's conferences. This needs to be dealt with now and before the election. If nothing is done before the election you know the seniors will be left behind again! They are living in poverty. Their retirement should be a pleasant life experience not to be living in poverty. Shame on the Government making our seniors live on less than $1200 a month. We as people need to speak up good and loud and not stop until we are heard!

About time for another tax increase it’s been 6 weeks since the last one!

They should just directly ask him if the Liberal Party was going to be letting their staff go that they would not be able to pay their employees without being able to utilize the 75percent subsidi.

About damn time we get paid sick days.

[highlanddrummer]

Why do we always get English OVER-spoken when he's speaking French??? He's already SAID it in English. Let the French-speaking people HEAR it in their language.

See, Black Faced Selfie Boy admits that Political Parties are big businesses that don't exist on voluntary donations from the public. Not sure where those funds are allocated by the Political Parties. Political Parties certainly are not 'non-profit' organizations. But the LPC does depend upon 'contributions' from Chinese donors. What happened to all the 'contributions' received at those $500 and $1000 per plate dinners that Black Faced Selfie Boy was hosting some months ago? That money must have run out months ago, or is sitting in a big bank account waiting to be spent on the next election campaign. But according to WuWho Chinfluenza Public Health Guidelines, I guess you can't host $500 and $1000 per plate pay for influence dinners for a while. Too many 'donors' in a confined space, I imagine.

What about the lies regarding vivid deaths? And not having the consent of the people about what you are destroying? Just curious

[saphire]

Our sick leaves were reduced from 10 to 6.
That attitude is even sickening than the virus!

[johncain]

Great way to start recovery, a small business of 20 employees will now lose 200 paid days of production per year sounds like an NDP concoction supported by the guy who has never signed the front of a paycheck.

[themiracle]

Why only $400 for seniors and why so far off for the $500 for July 29. That does not seem fair at only 1.8% increase for this year when Grocery stores have gone up by 15% with soups and vegetables.

[perryroberts]

we need funding relief for our pets, they've suffered just as much as anybody

[illyh]

Why are reporters obsessed over political parties receiving the wage subsidy. Do they believe they dont have employees admin staff?.

Ask questions that effect Canadians and if financial support benefits will be extended

[jonathandow]

Not out of the woods yet but I can’t see the forest for the trees 😷🌲What about the climate in the those countries who are having COVID Problems, and they’re simi- tropical. The term is not second waved. It’s actually the after shock 🤒

[ABJss]

So why haven’t we, healthcare workers, received the top up funds that the PM promised? I know it is on the provincial level that has to release this but just want some answers to this. Thanks!
