Odds are everyone on that cruise ship is infected by now. Hope they are bright enough to not release them into the public before at least 21 days.

As we face a global pandemic that could be on par of the Spanish flu, our ineffective government is unable to maintain our critical supply chain. There is dozens of ships carrying important supplies that are unable to unload in the port of Vancouver. Regardless of their intentions the protests need to be halted. We need maximum efficiency to even have a chance at controlling this virus.

All they ever want is more money. Never about the land

The Canadians political system is like a big drama show. Every single time I watch them debate it’s like a TLC show all over.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light, ” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day. Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. God called the space “sky.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day. Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened. God called the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened. The land produced vegetation—all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day. Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day. Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day. Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened. God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
Genesis 1:1‭-‬26

Clearly 14 days of quarantine doesnt really make a difference, just the other day after the virus split ita DNA and rereplicated into a more evolved form of itself, someone who had coronavirus showed no symptoms, just got sick rigjt away with out an incubation period soooo.. What will humanity do next?

[trentdabs]

6:00 Did he just make availed threat ?
30 years ago a police officer was shot and killed by First Nation's
So why bring that up if not to threaten more of the same ?

[carmenrose]

I have found the lock-down time to be helpful. I'm doing some much needed spring cleaning ... after a month of this, I am still holding onto the bright side of life in China.

[annalisa]

It's going through the a.c and heater vents. That's the only way if they have been quarantined this whole time.

[drewsykes]

grand chief needs to go back to school

[jonimclin]

He speaks from the heart of all people ❤️💔💙

I'd have to see those tapes to believe they said what is alleged.

Prime Minister Trudeau, as per the news said he said that he has no power over police maybe he does not....but he has power in Our Canadian Military.

[johnathansmith]

Having chosen Justin Trudeau as PM, is not an error, but an HORROR. He is weak, unprepared (after all, he's only a snow board instructor running the country), has no platform, no agenda (except feminism), and only influential friends outside politics (the Sha's son). He has shown to be no match to the US President and his own politics of protecting the US interests. There should be someone to protect OURS!!!

Why are the Chinese wearing winter coats inside while watching TV and everywhere else indoors, is there no heating at all?
