I believe if we just all get vaccinated keep our distance wear the masks . This will be over in a couple a months and we can get back to enjoying our life again. Small price to pay to be happy and keeping our children safe.
Please respect the people who did die from Covid. Show some compassion. If you can’t handle a shotdown how would you handle a real war? .Bombs hitting your house.Then you would have something to bitch about. Stop the complaing. Are you learning anything that could benefit you in life later on ? ❤️☀️✌🏻✌️✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿
I think all gyms should open up. Serious this is good for mental health. Honestly, we have done the lock down more than once, what have we accomplished. Minister, mayors, prime minister and others please look at how your affecting our health and our debt clock. To the future Prime Minister Sir. Doug Ford I don’t care what they say your a good man. Please start thinking Federal. Back to issue, please open up the gym’s. Cheers
F Doug Ford and F anyone who thinks its a good idea shut Ontario down. Weak scared pussies are just fine with destroying our kids futures. Ill leave you with this. Chances a vaccine created in 7 months will actually work are not good. Run and hide bitches.
Ed woods is a racist idiot. And all you Dofo lovers are screwed if dofo gets re-elected. He will gouge you middle class fools in tax increase.
This is a hoax brought upon by the KKK to demoralize the children that will grow up to be gangsters in the future. We adults need to get tissues and stuff them up our bum in order to prevent the spread of the real disease. #StopTheNigerians
Bernie Feldberg and Whadyabelieve should be on lockdown until some idiot-proof vaccine has been found and they get inoculated. These are the idiots that go on marches downtown and carry Trump Pence flags!!!
This whole thing is a conspiracy and a scam orchestrated by the 1%
Anyone who falls for the manipulation is only supporting the perception of world leaders -read 1%- who believe the general public are morons who deserve to be treated as fodder for their money and power machine. Wake up, those who actually have a brain and intention! Stop complying and stand up for rational, common sense. Mortality rates only serve to prove that this whole ‘pandemic’ is a fabrication and laughable manipulation of the -unfortunately- feeble minded masses.

We all live in Ford Nation!
I love Hazmat Suit’s response to Bernie Feldberg’s ridiculous comments!
Doug Ford is doing a good job. This virus is vicious. What is it that Bernie does not understand. Does he want everyone to get sick. What planet is he living on.
Bernie Feldberg should be closed until a cure is made.
Bernie Feldberg is a dangerous idiot.
Doug Ford the best.
Thank you China for Corona virus. I look forward to having Chinese food this weekend and asking for extra Corona sauce.
And I also think that John Tory should be fired for the mess that he has made on eglinton and I think that everything in Toronto should go back to normal Doug Ford should be fired he is a total asshole he has screwed up the city of Toronto
I think that all malls should be reopened and I think that all restaurants should be reopened and I think to line up outside a supermarket is stupid and I think thst Doug Ford should be kicked out because he is an asshole and he is screwing up our country.
All closed should be in one colour. All open in another colour!
BLUE CLOSED
BLACK OPEN and so on
