It's been two years now and we're still doing this so we don't overwhelm the hospitals and yet no extra funding to improve staffing or to add additional facility's. You can not say this is to keep from over whelming the hospitals because if it was you would have done something to prevent that in the last two years. This all no longer makes logical sense.

The fact we are talking about locking down 2 years into this just speaks to how pathetic Canada is as a nation.

Programming has groomed emotionally immature "adults" for gaslighting. It is the responsibility of all Canadians to keep themselves "safe" from politicians.

Ottawa has 6 people in the hospital with covid, zero in ICU, if this is about not overwhelming our health care system then we have some bigger problems

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - CS Lewis

I wonder how much of a kick back you are getting from the Pharmaceutical companies, seems like this is a trend, I think a full investigation should be conducted.

how can someone speak for so long and say nothing??

[RJAnderson]

Have politicians taken salary increases and other monetary gains while Canadians struggle? Easy to "help" Canadians with their own taxes. Loopholes and tax breaks for the wealthy and those in power across the country. Spend my tax dollars on CRA audits.

It’s been two years now that this guy has been saying we can beat this if we just follow his plan…TWO YEARS.

Let that sink in…

We’re still talking about overwhelming the healthcare system??? It has been two years. You’ve spent more money than all previous Prime Ministers combined! What have you been spending this money on?

[muzammelhaquemukul]

As if everything is getting cheaper in Canada (Human Life excluded). When will govt. understand that free money is not helping. We need different plan and course of action.

Mr. PM there is one greater than you, who will bring the truth to light, and will hold you accountable.

In this week's episode: "Now it's just getting silly". I could understand 2 years ago how some people might be panicking over a new and unknown virus. Now it's quite apparent that they are just milking it, and they will be milking it indefinitely. Power and kickbacks, thats what it is all about.

[markbonam]

This guy makes Donald T look like a genius. Way to go Canadians. Way to vote a drama teacher into power. You have zero right to judge Americans after this !!!

Let’s do the same thing that didn’t work in the first place.
