I'm not going to be to popular with this. The Canadian GDP shrunk by 11.6% in April . At this rate, the drop will be worse than even the Great Depression ! The only reason we are still limping along is the huge amount of money the federal government has thrown at it. Like FDR did in the Great Depression. They will not be able to continue doing this. They will have to scale back and we will have a depression, that's a given, not merely a recession. We all know what the Conservative mantra of balanced budget led to in the early thirties. It took ten years and a World War to undo that,. The Chinese are reporting a 90% economy, as if you can trust Chinese numbers, it's likely worse. Until we have a vaccine, to keep even this 90% economy, we'll be lucky if it's that much, limping along, we will have to live with the New Normal. Otherwise accept large scale deaths, since I'll likely be one of them, I don't like that idea.

reading this thread, this is a perfect example of Globalists accomplish exactly what they want...
divide and conquer, decrease trade so they can control it all... economically and politically...
The DemocRATic Party in the USA has never been happier...slowly getting their communist utopia.. where they become the elitists, and the American public becomes the peasants...
People who are blind to it, or deny it... suffer from the 'it can't happen here' syndrome... You are the classic example of the ignorant American. Mercifully, not every American is as stupid as you. Not a shocking development that you are in disagreeance Davy Crockett...

I would say it's unlikely they'll open the border. Our numbers are similar to the US even though our MSM never ever mentions our numbers, only that Trump's America is having record problems. So that means our Yankee-hating Liberal government is in no hurry to open the border.
And I hope you don't open your border to anyone from Quebec or Ontario. Here in the West we have a very different situation.

That map is trash...you have way more land mass and about 1/9 the population, and your Bolshevik mapmakers at CTV didn't assign covid densities geographically on your side; rather they put a big dot in the center of the province. Stupid, and your genius population buys it hook/line/sinker.
Canada isn't blessed with a strong anti-globalist chief executive, and as a result, their benevolent press aren't marketing an internal disaster. None of this is complicated, Redgwell.

My name is Steve. You did not read the article. It explains the red dots. If you wish to debate the map, chat with either CTV News or Johns Hopkins. This isn't complicated, Vek.

Otherwise accept large scale deaths, since I'll likely be one of them, I don't like that idea. What Trudeau has done is nothing like what FDR did. At least FDR paid for something rather than just rewarding people for not working. Programs like the CCC built infrastructure and allowed people to earn their living. While the country spent some money, they at least got some tangible assets for it. JT just tries to find new ways to buy support. It remains to be seen just how serious the corona virus is going to be. In this, as in everything else, we citizens are left with trying to sort facts from two extreme views. One thing is certain, it has managed to effect change where nothing else could. Mostly, it has shown the west can be stampeded. GD

I agree that the govt should have tried some work program, but because COVID was the reason, it would be difficult to find employment and keep ones distance. This is being a smart ass, but they could always have been given a govt job. The feds are understaffed. 😀 This is an interesting link. The source is the European Centre for Disease Prevention. A bit of reading here. It suggests that, for Canada and the US at least, the borders won't be open for visitors soon. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coron...e-canada-and-other-key-nations-1.4881500

Wabigoon, before 9/11 , way before...I was asked to sing our national anthem to prove I was Canadian, I had no I.D. and US border people wanted to let me through.
It worked and I had my usual gallonage of Montana beer that evening. Maybe, give this a shot?
