PM Justin Trudeau on COVID-19, election speculation – October 20, 2020

At a news conference on Parliament Hill, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau provides an update on the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic. The prime minister is joined by Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and International Trade Minister Mary Ng. Minister Ng announces an additional $12 million through the Canada United Small Business Relief Fund to help small business owners respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are joined by Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, and Dr. Howard Njoo, the deputy chief public health officer.

The prime minister also responds to questions on other issues including the Conservative motion calling for a special committee to investigate the WE Charity controversy and other alleged ethical breaches. The Liberals assert that the motion shows a lack of confidence in the minority government and that its passage would trigger an election.

Cases, cases, cases, where are the death numbers? On one hand I bet each of us personally know 5 people who have died from or who currently have cancer with grim outlook for future. On the other hand how many people do we personally know that have died from COVID? Personally, I don't know a single one. Where is the real pandemic. Do they really care about citizens dying? Really?

Maybe black face can explain why Canadian banks offer different mortgages for different religions?
Why do they have muslim and sharia and halal mortgages, yet there's no Catholic or Christian mortgages?
With different mortgage rates too?

Chrystia Freelands closing statement on racism in Canada was excellent. from her thinking back to her childhood, to how long this has been systematically in place, to how long this may take to right. be it reparations, equality and equal opportunity, it all needs to happen to go forward.
