[danav.]

[lawrencejohanson]

[glennsankey]

Get a NON CONFIDENCE VOTE GOING.AND WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM????

[craigmunro]

Wow... Christmas has arrived early... spend like no tomorrow. My kids kids will be paying off this dept. Amazing that a plague with a 99% survival rate can totally destroy Canada.

[cbedford]

Amazing how he can say our judiciary system is independent and free from government influence. After being caught cold influencing our judicial system..

What about people who looking for job are not qualify for EI and creb

[michaelneedham]

add it again offering money to another group of people, still nothing for ODSP or welfare, they have problems shopping, by the time they have money, the shelves are bare. The cost of food went up again, my check didn't.

[ionebrown]

I am confused. Why not give the money directly to the people?

[whelp]

In the mean time I'm stuck on welfare because I don't "qualify" I'm considered a "gray area" and get 3 different answers when I called CERB help line but yet I worked last year and payed taxes. Whenever this is over and go back to work I'll end up spending the rest of my adult life paying back money for something I never got access to. Try living off of $580 a month.

[vash]

So many people I'm finding, that thought they were Liberal are realizing they are a lot more conservative than they thought

[virgilioviernes]

I believe every taxpayer deserve to get something from the government at a prorated amount based in income since this is an Emergency and there's so much emergency spending during the past months.

[buzzfeedright]

Doesnt bother to talk about new studies that show surface transmission has been found to be low.

[bonniebrace]

All this talk about importance of testing, at a local multinational food processor, (in Ontario) they had a couple different staff come down with covid19 over the last 2 months and yet they never tested the rest of staff! A very few people told to self isolate but that's it.

[jenifferchan]

Everyone should realized at beginning if they have tv or radio at the home, it is ridiculous excuse of isolation

[godkingtrump]

Dear Canadians:
We are now adding 690 million dollars per day to the national debt!!! How do you feel about that?
Yes I know we are going through a Pandemic, but we went through Spanish Flu, The Great Depression, WWI, WWII, and we are spending more than all of these COMBINED!!!! Now how do you feel?

[melvamoulton]

Why isn't anyone asking hard questions? Why has the CBC become so whipped?

[NoVacksMe]

Our great great great grand children will be paying for Liberal spending

[orlenecharles]

Uhhhh, where is all this money coming from??

[noroar]

heh, old dude that delivers bread part time just made 7 k on CERB and now he's back to work making his 300 bucks a week . Says he was told to be cautious because he's diabetic so he applied and received the hand out while he was totally capable of still working .
