4 months later they decide to test incoming passengers at airports. What a brainwave must've sent shock waves through this government.

This guy...like the media is a traitor to the Canadian people. The people have had enough.

The Wuhan, boot-licking, empty-headed, Trudeau's is incapable of "calls".

Why did you involve Canada in US/China trade dilemma.... to get a seat in UN?

OMG! He still doesn't get it! Yes, the CERB was 4 months BUT stop only tracking as if started in April!!! Those who were back paid for MARCH their 4 month cerb has already ended. They used that back pay to pay bills delayed cause of CERB delay. With CERB being extended, you left all those out who got paid for MARCH out of the equation and did it for those who would be paid until July. You failed to stand up and help Canadians as you said you would as if CERB was extended, then those were who paid for MARCH should of continued to be paid the CERB not left high and dry to wait for others who didn't start until April. Now all those you left out, will not be able to pay their bills and will be in trouble by the time they get to see money again in July and try to catch up and fix the damage!
