    I have thought for some time that our tracking is abysmal, and responsible for most of the new cases we're getting outside elderly care homes. If we're going to open up again we need something which will immediately track new cases and warn those exposed to get tested. So far the government has come up with nothing. A contact tracking app makes sense in the short term until we get a vaccine. Privacy concerns are secondary to the point of being tertiary compared to getting the economy moving and saving lives.

    “Stay home: Save lives” is the message promoted by New Zealand’s prime minister Jacinda Ardern, the Western leader whose response to COVID-19 has been among the most successful. The secret of this success? Ardern also adopted an approach of “Go hard: Go early” and has consequently suffered far fewer fatalities per capita than countries that dithered or delayed imposing restrictions. But minimizing the butcher’s bill runs up the banker’s bill, and the banker’s bill is growing. As soon as the relevant offices emerge from lockdown, there will be insolvencies and liquidations. Some businesses will not re-open at all. The longer lockdown continues, the greater the number of businesses forced to close, and the more jobs lost. To avert widespread economic collapse, governments have been handing out wage subsidies and bail-outs to keep businesses afloat.

    Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary policy measures. If there is a way to reduce both the butcher’s bill and the banker’s bill, then governments are justified in mandating it. Recently, an Oxford team published a paper in Science which found that the spread of COVID-19 was “too fast to be contained by manual contact tracing but could be controlled if this process was faster, more efficient and happened at scale.” The authors therefore make the case for a contact tracing app. Its main feature would be to store data on proximity contacts and sound an alarm if a contact has been tagged as testing positive.

       Yes we should chip all the children as they are born so we can know every move they make because the worst thing possible is if they read and become educated , my God then they could be able to think for themselves and have real thoughts and ideas which we all know are bad things and worst of all what if they become so educated that they hold different thoughts and are able to debate on many subjects. Please hurry and start the tracking now.

    We're getting lied to six ways from Sunday about covid, and the fact that our government still blindly supports the WHO is just embarrassing.

    If the WHO had a firefighting counterpart called the WFO they'd be telling us to store open gas cans in our homes and not to leave the house if there's a fire. 

     

      That is the truth

    I agree, for the most part most Canadians are to lazy to any take action, and they do express, most if not all their frustrations on social media....Perhaps they feel that all the actions you listed are not paid attention to, clogged with ideas from the good idea fairy who wears a tin foil cap or other useless issues. I'd like to know just what percentage of the ideas that are sent from your list actually get to the minister in charge or to anyone that is capable of making change or championing that idea to a higher level. Thats what I think is the problem, most think those types of actions go unheard....

    What I do know is they do follow most social media outlets to see what is going on, or through polling to see what ideas they have , and are they popular with the voters... Any politician these days almost has to be an expert in managing social media to their benefit. 

     

      Well I did change the Canada disability act allowing crones and ileitis to be listed as real disabilities instead of being called diseases that are in the head.  I helped stop the liberal caucus from traveling Canada looking for systemic racism , I led the silent protest 2 years ago on the May long weekend. Got the government to open washrooms in many Canada employment centers for clients to use. I have sent over 10,000 letters this year to members of parliament while at the same time teaching people how to take an active role in government by using their democratic voice not just whining on sites like this. I am all so fighting for total governmental  Recall. Apathy is the enemy of any country . Why what have you done?

    Much better off. The West would be more united. The US response to the virus would have been far better organized. The US would probably have appointed ambassadors to all kinds of countries by now which Trump never got around to, and wouldn't be letting China and Russia extend their influence throughout the world without challenge.

    I mean, there is a reason Putin and Russia wanted Trump instead of Clinton.

    If you're going to tell people to do research if they want to be taken seriously you shouldn't do it on a topic which demonstrates you did no research. For you'll not be taken seriously.

    You seem to be a typical leftest that likes to come across as well read but are in  fact the complete opposite .

    Picture from Global News

    This was in Toronto yesterday, the Canadian flag upside down by two people that most likely were born and lived here their entire life. I said most likely so I might be wrong, my apology to the Political Correctness crowd on both sides for speculating on someone's origins.

    If this is the case, it proves to me again the point that loving your country has nothing to do with being born in a country how some ultra nationalists on the right try to tell us (I am aware of the danger of ultra nationalism).

    I came here as an immigrant and the immigrants that I know will never dare to put the Canadian flag upside down. Why ? Because we have seen other systems and we are thankful that this great country allowed us to come here and be part of this society.

    Looking to hear other opinions and different points of view on this topic

    PS: Nobody said it is illegal or it should be illegal, I am a citizen that have an opinion about other citizens actions. At the end they can do whatever they want with their private property. I am not part of anti fa or the alt right to impose my point of view on people.

    @eyeball

    Is that you in the back ? :D Joking, good morning :D

      Anyone that flies the flag upside down is in fact showing deliberate disrespect and their opinions do not matter to me at all, I think it is a slap in the face. If you wish to show anger hang a photo of the political leaders upside down. NEVER THE CANADIAN FLAG

  6.  Time for people to use facts and be free thinkers, my point again is when has any government ever had the best interest of the people in mind? They say it was not created in a lab but was being studied in the lab from where it was some how released and we will never know the truth because paperwork is already destroyed . The Chinese government is 100% to blame and by this I mean the Ruling monsters that could care less about their people . Anyone who thinks otherwise has their hats on too tight.

    There's no ideology being imported, there's simply universal rights being recognized universally.

    And what do human rights have to do with ideology? Nothing until conservatives stand in the way, hence the main source of left wing disgust.

     What universal rights? are you talking Pronouns and the like? if you are they are not being given they are being used in order to strip people of real rights like freedom of speech. People need to wake up to the real truth.

    We can choose neither. 

    Just because Trump is standing up to China doesn't mean he isn't a disaster of a human being and an even worse president.  

    If Trump hadn't burned so many bridges around the world leading up to this, he wouldn't be such a pariah and folks in Canada, Europe etc might actually listen to him.  International leaders can't trust him or his intentions.  He's so dishonest, petty and mercurial that all anyone can hope to do is stay out of his way and not provoke a tantrum.  

    Donald Trump has thrown American diplomacy back decades and China's influence will have grown immensely after his presidency is done (hopefully this year).  The vacuum that US has left behind on rational world leadership is going to get filled somewhere. 

     

      Wow some people should do more reading and watching more than CNN. I find it hard to think that in this day and age so many people go through life without being able to put their own thoughts together without the talking points of people that just hate a man for making fools out of a bunch of old politicians that got rich off of the working class people. I hope that people one day will awaken from the sleep they are in and see the light. Just imagine where the world would be if Hillary had been elected. People please do your research if you expect to be taken seriously .

  9.  I live in Calgary and up to the first of may ( I can not speak for the last two weeks ) Flights were arriving from all points and people were not being tested at all they were just given a piece of paper with the symptoms listed and told to seek a doctors treatment if they get any of them? what the hell is that really shutting down the country? Here is the bigger question . When has this idiot Prime Minister ever not failed the people?

  10.   People of Canada are in fact partially responsible for where we are now and the reason is very simple and clear APATHY , We as Canadians believe that the moment we exit the voting station on election day our job is done when in fact that is just the start. We should then watch everything that our leaders do and when we do not agree we should be writing letters ( they are free , no postage needed ) we should be Calling the toll free line to the PMO ,Faxing letters and E-mailing. But that is not what happens. People will go on social media and complain but that is where it usually ends.

  11. We the people of Canada DEMAND change in Government. 

        We the people of Canada demand that the government that belongs to us and to whom we lend our democratic power to lead this country and to sit in opposition, change the laws that govern the behaviour of those politicians that take the oath of office. 

       We are tired of the way that parties spend our hard-earned tax dollars on things that do not benefit this country. We are tired of the lies by all parties and we are tired of the personal agendas that you all bring into the house of commons instead of working toward the common goal of bettering this great nation. 

       We are tired of the ethics violations, the misappropriation of money that does not belong to you and the way you spend on other countries while here in Canada our own go without. We are tired of the way Canadians are left out in the cold as soon as you take office and the opposition all of a sudden becomes sanctimonious in the way they say they want to save us. We are tired of the Pandering politicians on all sides. We are tired of the insider trading. We are tired of the wealthy being the ones that you listen to and not us average Canadians because in fact most of you have never worked a solid day in your life. 

       We are Tired of the way that the people we elect as our Members of Parliament stop speaking for us the moment  they are told to tow the party line. We are tired of the way the country gets ignored because as soon as you take power and the house sits you then worry about the next election rather than worrying about us the people.  

       We demand change and we have some changes we want: 

       1.  We the people demand, not ask, that recall be brought into law. 

       2.  We the people demand that restricted parliamentary privilege be restricted to times that it is a benefit to the country not the politicians. 

       3.  We demand that under conditions that regular Canadians would lose their jobs that the same apply to politicians in the same fast manor. 

       4. We demand that if fired there is an end of your pension no if ands or buts. 

       5. We demand that any financial penalties that politicians receive be proportional to the wages they earn so as to sting them as we the citizens get stung. 

       6.We the people demand that when a politician ends his term that he not use political influence to enrich himself or family, if they do they are to be prosecuted. 

       7. We demand that all monies earned by the writing of books or speaking engagements by any serving politician or politician that has served (because they were only in that position to serve the country) should be paid to charity. 

       8. We demand that any politician caught deliberately lying to the citizens of this country be removed from office immediately. 

       9. We demand that any politician working against the people of this country be removed from office and if deemed serious enough be charged in a court of law. 

        These demands are put before you by citizens of all political parties, All genders and all races. 

     We the citizens of Canada have had enough of governments dividing the peoples and spending recklessly so as to force our taxes to a level that makes it hard to support our families.

  13.   The climate on this great planet of ours has been cyclical since the beginning of time and it continually heats and cools with an ice age about every 100,000 years , these are facts that they do not dispute . People have a small tiny part but for the most part the government sees it as an easy scare tactic to get more taxes from people.

     If this or any government was truly worried about the carbon footprint they would start by protecting our water sources because there is absolutely no use worrying about five hundred years from now if we have no water tomorrow. How long do humans live without water? People please think about it and use common sense .
