Wow, People Totally Have A Handle On This Virus They Said Not to Worry About

China, which has been smuggling viruses out of American and Canadian labs and has hidden the fact that the virus for which it was responsible and which some whistle-blowers warned the public about it knew about this coronavirus since November 2019, is still not a country restricted from entry into Canada:

What is maybe, possibly, sort of restricted is the Canada-US border:

Justin Trudeau has announced that Trudeau will close the border to all non-Canadian Citizens.

(Sidebar: "The Trudeau Liberals are pretending that they are acting to solve this issue by saying they will turn back those that have made asylum claims in the United States but that won’t solve anything.


The government also says anyone who presents symptoms will be banned from boarding a plane to Canada – including Canadian Citizens.

(Sidebar: "The federal government insists that all is well, of course. “We have enhanced screening measures in place at all international airports, as well as land/rail/marine ports of entry,” Public Safety Minister Bill Blair tweeted last week. “We are taking the necessary steps to ensure that Canadians are safe in the face of COVID-19.” At a cringe-inducing press scrum Sunday night in Ottawa, Tourism Minister Mélanie Joly and Justice Minister David Lametti flopped around helplessly under sharp questioning by the Globe’s Marieke Walsh about the numerous reports of Canadians getting into the country with no screening and without being given any information regarding self-isolation. Alberta, Nova Scotia and Quebec have all sent provincial officials into airports to ensure that public-health information is delivered to arriving passengers. Ontario should do the same.";  I’ve been in the Canada customs line at Pearson for over an hour along with hundreds of people. Six agents on duty, zero screening, no masks, no sanitizer in site. This is as unsafe as it can get.”)

There will be exceptions to the ban. Canadians without symptoms will get support to return if necessary. US Citizens, Canadian Permanent Residents, Flight Crew, and Diplomats can be exempted from the overall ban.

(Sidebar: "Health Minister Patty Hajdu responded Monday to a petition calling for the suspension of all flights to and from China amid fears about COVID-19 and saying that closing a border was "not effective at all" at controlling the spread of disease. She also said in the long term they can create a greater risk to public health, saying that China has been very open and sharing the sequence of the virus to allow other countries to do proper testing and if a border was closed, the transparency that allows countries to fight the virus would be gone."; "Even China’s valiant efforts with unprecedented mass quarantine were only partly successful and required a huge sacrifice of individual liberties"  - However ... "Nearly four per cent of medical workers in China have become infected, so enhanced protection for staff is critical, said Dr. Neil Rau, a medical microbiologist at Halton Healthcare Services and CTV’s infectious diseases expert." China, which gave us this virus, I might add, was "valiant" in this effort that might be overblown with the exception of extra equipment for Canadian medical staff? Pick a lane, Doctor.)

International flights will be funneled to four airports.

So, how is this stopping possible infected persons entering the country if they are not stopped at the border (dual citizens often switch the passports they use), not checked by medical staff at the airports, not isolated under any penalty but are totally allowed to arrive at major Canadian airports.

This is the decisive action the bribed press raves about.

 
PM Blackface has emerged from hiding for what?  He didn't want to close the border or stop flights a few days ago (because that was bad for some reason). His useless minions have been caught failing to act when they could have.

Putting one's trust in people so incompetent and so incapable of honesty is like throwing one's wallet into a fire and hoping that will remain unburned.

But I repeat myself:

According to Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s latest economic update in December 2019, he has a $26.6 billion deficit, with no end to deficits in sight.

And that was before any new spending as a result of COVID-19 and crashing oil prices.

In 2015, Trudeau also promised he would have three years of modest deficits followed by a balanced budget in the current fiscal year, which ends March 30.

He promised the 2016-17 deficit would be $9.9 billion. It turned out to be $19 billion.

He promised the 2017-18 deficit would be $9.5 billion. It turned out to be $19 billion.

He promised the 2018-19 deficit would be $5.7 billion. It turned out to be $14 billion.

And, again, he promised the 2019-20 budget would have a $1 billion surplus. It turned out to be a $26.6 billion deficit.

Viruses, like budgets, solve themselves.

Cases in point:
Alberta is cancelling all K-12 and post-secondary classes effective immediately, as it announced 17 new cases of COVID-19 in the province and evidence of the first community transmissions of the disease.
**
The Saskatchewan government is suspending all pre-kindergarten to Grade 12 classes indefinitely over concerns about COVID-19.

**

Ontario now has 179 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Also - who did you vote for?:

They’re manning the trenches in an increasingly difficult struggle to fend off the COVID-19 pandemic.

But Canada’s emergency-department doctors are often left in the dark about how exactly to confront the challenge, receiving conflicting advice from government and hospital employers, some of them warned Sunday.

One emergency physician has just published a starkly worded opinion piece about what he called the “void in communication” over how health care workers in Ontario should protect themselves and their patients.

That's the government you voted for, so ...




It's strange how other countries don't seem to have enormous issues making decisions:

Poland will ban foreigners from entering the country from Sunday and impose a 14-day quarantine on its citizens returning home in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Friday.



Uh-oh:

Pope Francis ventured into a deserted Rome on Sunday to pray at two shrines for the end of the coronavirus pandemic, as the Vatican said his Easter services will be held without the public for the first time.



Perhaps we didn't bomb Italy enough during the war:


Coronavirus victims in Italy will be denied access to intensive care if they are aged 80 or more or in poor health should pressure on beds increase, a document prepared by a crisis management unit in Turin proposes.

Some patients denied intensive care will in effect be left to die, doctors fear.
