Lots of celebs, "influencers", and athletes are using this opportunity to raise more than awareness...also raising their celebrity profiles. Funny, but they never give shouts out on MyFace or Twitter when they get the herpes virus.

Trump got a good one in when asked about his use of the phrase “Chinese Virus”: REPORTER: “Critics say that using that phrase creates a stigma.” TRUMP: “No, I don’t think so. I think saying that our military gave it to them creates a stigma.”

Rita Wilson? I first thought that this was a publicity stunt. They're not really sick. Trudeau and Hanks only want to "raise awareness". ====== My second thought: These people love to be famous, shake hands. Maybe Sophie's really sick because she and Hanks love to be famous. ======== My third thought: I prefer anonymity.

It's not about race. It's about which country you are loyal to. I have nothing wrong with Chinese-Canadians who are loyal to Canada. I have Chinese-Canadian friends who are. John McCallum is a white Canadian who is in China's pocket and not loyal to Canada. And he was fired for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCallum#Ambassador_to_China_(2017–2019) Apparently if you stand up to China and demand loyalty from migrants you're racist. This is why we don't. I never supported neoliberalism. But yes they were wrong, but for reasons they didn't expect. And now the left wants more globalism in trade and criticize people like Trump for wanting to limit some of the free trade because its "racist". Interesting times we live in.

If you don't want to trade with tyrants and regimes with bad human rights records then you won't be trading with most countries in the world. If you want to impose western political priorities on developing countries then you also risk acting imperialistically. But then again, you don't want to make jerkhole countries rich (which is most developing countries), nor do you want to keep poor countries poor. Tough situation.

You're right about that. Big 5th Column in the West. China has the largest diaspora in the world out of any country. Obviously not all of them are loyal to China, I have many Chinese friends who don't like that gov, but many are loyal, and many don't have a choice but to be loyal. Look at all the Chinese-Canadians who protested in defence of China when the whole Hong Kong protests happened months ago. If you refuse to spy on Canada for the China gov, they threaten to make your family in China disappear. If you tweet things critical of China they visit your family in China. We have entire cities in Canada dominated by Chinese-Canadians, are they all loyal to this country? We have an entire province becoming Chinese, are they all loyal? Canada doesn't demand much loyalty. It's a post-national state our PM says.

Take a deep breath. Look at the topic! It's a comparison between Trump and Trudeau! Anyway, at the end of the day - of course we'll rally - united - behind our leaders! All of them are flying by the seat of their pants - it's something unprecedented. We all do our civic duties. We can only hope for the best.

So you're calling out JT for not closing the border to air travel until yesterday. You realize 45 said the virus was "under control" on Sunday then on Monday said it was "Very Bad" and that thing might not get back to normal until August. At least be consistent with your partisan bullshit.

Nowadays, poor dears are asked to brutally sacrifice themselves by hoarding toilet paper and watching Netflix for days on end.

One man, one kit, I simply tend to my share of the work, if the whistle blows, I'll go over the top, as my grandfather and great grandfather before me.

There isn't even any screening on borders! The questionaire - have you been to China, Iran and Italy - is totally outdated! Trudeau is going on "sleep-walk cruise," when decisive speed is definitely needed! Lol. The way they increased the level of "recommending people don't go abroad just a day before March break to a sudden COME HOME NOW! is laughable. They should've issued against any foreign travel weeks ago (when Europe started exhibiting alarming rates)! Their dire screeching, "come home NOW before you get trapped in other countries." had only produced a severely crowded airport of people from all over the world!! AT THE WORST TIME WHEN IT'S NOW A PANDEMIC - AND, TO BE IN THE WORST PLACE TO BE IN! It's a classic clusterf**k!

I'd do anything to destroy the Chinese economy. They're our #1 enemy.
