Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending the recent extension of COVID-19 border restrictions, saying the decision is “anchored in science” as representatives from the travel and tourism sector gather in Ottawa to demand relief.
“The reality is, as much as people would like to pretend we’re not, we’re still in a pandemic. There are Canadians who die every single day because of COVID-19,” he told reporters on Wednesday. Industry groups held a press conference later Wednesday, calling on the federal government to alleviate travel pain points, such as long lineups and delays, in time for the summer travel season.“We did our part to keep Canadians safe and now it is finally our turn to recover. Travel is back with a vengeance and we could not be happier but the passenger experience at our Canadian airports is a challenge,” said Susie Grynol, President and CEO of the Hotel Association of Canada.
“We’re urging the federal government to take three concrete actions in the short term to immediately alleviate pressure on the system. They include: removing onsite mandatory testing from Canada’s airports, removing the Public Health Agency of Canada’s duplicate health check questions at government custom checkpoints and at the international border and removing vaccination mandates for CATSA and CBSA workers,” she said.
Awesome
It looks like you are a Premier who want to expand the PANDEMIC for ever. Which give you self power to rule over the rest of the population. Why and till when are you going to punish us?
Our PM justinek should stay home as well, do something about inflation, decrease taxes on ordinary Canadians. Sorry the government is making money and asking public to do more with less 😅
Canada is special 😏
It’s not over, naïve if you think so
He's right. We are still in a pandemic because he is still somehow PM. He is the virus. Just look at all his actions. He is unhealthy and divisive for our people. Too much tax money on himself and too many deals like WE and SNC. Canadians have real problems because of him.
It has well passed the time to remove these travel restrictions that is why we all got vaccinated so we could get back to a normal life and travel again.
This is what narcissist do. They need power to stroke their ego.
looking more like a clown daily
JustinTrudeau WE are NOT in a Plandemic. You lied to the people. The injections harmed people. You got a placebo. Why R news stations so stupid they can’t see the truth. We want journalists with a set of balls that hunt 4 the truth. Climate change initiatives 2030 less humans.
He is right now is not the time to ease up..but rather keep going till we get it under control and stop further spread!
But JT and his entourage keeps travelling with photo ops.
Hahaha what a clown 🤡
We never were
Bull shit, get me out of here. I'm so sick of this freak.
Can we see the science he keeps referring to? Can this m’fr read?
London right now…
Funny fact, His father screwed Canada and his mother just screwed everyone else.:)
In his little world it's going to go on forever!
You want to remain there. Life is normal.
He mean his 'Plandemic' not done implementing yet. Beside whois going to get the kick back when everyone get one of his MIRACLE mRNA vaccine? Till now no one asked with his MIRACLE vaccine, did it end the Plandemic?
Biggest pandering hypocrite on the face of the earth. With all due respect, I'm actually far more afraid of gas prices and food prices. Rent going up, and empty shelves more than I'm afraid of COVID.
Trudeau enjoys his pandemic
Clown show
We are just experiencing the pandemic 'differently'
Where are the judges to overrule this Big Pharma Nazi Dictator? Covid was never a threat to healthy people. 13K dead in Ontario in 2 years in a province where 200K people die annually (all Covid deaths were elderly on meds or overweight / risk conditions).
Vaccines don’t work. Everyone vaccinated person I know has had Covid and most more than once and they’re having health issues.
Prime Minister has protected Canadians well.Canada has lowest covid-19 death rate in the world. So many old people who are our loved ones was protected. He did his best.
Says who? The Prime Minister? So much for following the science. Seems to me he is hell bent on crippling Canada in more ways than one. Whether it's making it difficult to travel for everyone or contributing to the massive inflation of everything,there seems to be no logic at all
We have to thank you his friend the NDP that will support the gov till the 2025 we are doomed till then
The srcond onr is the best answer he eill br in power till the 2025 the pandemic us long gone im waiting for the return of Trump in the white house he will clean the rest of the swamp
What pandemic? They don't even publish covid numbers anymore and it's just like a cold now
The fact there are so many Canadians that still support Pierre Trudeau illegitimate child shows me the neo-authoritarian culture is now seen as a virtue and will be almost impossible to end.
We are this way because of the pm.
Only because it is easier to act like a dictator when you make people believe they are in danger
No only In your head !!
When did he become a doctor. Or a Political Scientist!
Enough. We are done with it
Somebody should tell him the media has moved on to monkeypox, he is right though the pandemic is his government
José María Fernández Sousa-Faro (76 ) the head of a pharmaceutical company is among the rich and well informed Spanish elite who refused to have covid vaccinations. They prefered to pay drug gangs to fake their vax status on the covid datsbase so they could travel abroad
Agree 100%
We need to stop this BS can't anyone see what this man is doing to our country
Nope. Even if we were the restrictions are not making any difference.
We are and have to be safe for ourselves and others
Why do border restrictions only apply to unvaccinated Canadians l wanting to leave and not unvaccinated foreigners coming here? Running around the world without a mask, this fool should have to quarantine upon arrival.... You know...there's a pandemic out there.
We may still be in a pandemic but we’re now in a transition phase, which all the provinces get, it’s just the feds that are stuck in the past. Maybe JustinTrudeau should try flying commercial into Pearson next time instead of on Canforce 1 so he can see the gong show that is
Ukrainiens cross the border right… Afghan too😀😀😀 tell me why we talk about closing the borders 😀😀😀 it’s politics nothing more. Closing the borders mean nothing and I think that every single people living in Canada has contracted the Covid 19
Closing the border is not gonna do anything at least 99% of the population as been infected by the virus. It’s a virus we can do nothing more. The Covid still gonna be there we have to learn to deal with it. Don’t forget the massive immigration from Ukrainian an Afghan.
This wanna be dictator needs to stop.
ikwilson Is Canada the only country left on the planet besides North Korea where its citizens can't freely travel ? C'mon . We need to let this kindergarten cult leader know what is and isn't tolerable because he isn't getting the message
Is this Chinese-Canada?
Go home Trudeau and give up !
ikwilson Can we talk about how 4 vaccines doses DOES STOP or PREVENT THE SPREAD or do anything except clog our hospitals with SIDE EFFECTS?! Yes, myocarditis. Yes, stroke like symptoms. Yes, menstrual/fertility problems. Yes, GBS. Yes, even COVID. Etc, etc. You’ve all been been duped!
Trudeau is holding onto mandates to keep his wedge issue against the Conservatives, who he wants to paint as antivaxer bigot misogynistics in the next election. Canadians need to move on from the pandemic with the rest of the world but JustinTrudeau doesn’t give a shit about us.
Endemic?..
ikwilson JustinTrudeau doesn't have a brain, meanwhile the rest of the world moves on....
Why are other countries done with it?…science is different here in Canada?… like wtf?
Is this coming from Trudeaus' counselor, Bill Gates?
Um so where's JT's mask?
He’s really pushing it ridiculous
Tell JustinTrudeau that 141 countries fully open, 48 countries open if you test negative prior to arrival. Canada CanadaHasFallen Senators OttawaHealth OttawaPolice Australia Dom_Perrottet WATCHMEBURNDOW1
FOOL
Covid is done now the elites are trying moneypox oops i mean monkeypox to scare people in to being more easily controlled.
He wants to say in a perpetual pandemic so that he can keep on abusing powers and continued to go over limit of Canadian credit card.
COVID ISN'T OVER !! OVER 3500 PEOPLE HAVE DIED OF COVID FROM JAN 1 2022- PRESENT. ONLY 1084 DIED DURING ENTIRE 2021. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO STIR SHIT, WHY DON'T YOU REPORT THAT fordnation INCOMPETENCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DEATHS? VoteFordOutJune2 FordsARussianAsset
People in Canada then must be completely different than every other country in the world. Talk anout a useless power trip.
Pandemic is over 🤡
We are the laughing stock of the modern world that has an airport. Toronto Pearson the busiest in the country and they can't get their sh together to have anticipated they need security screeners AND extra staff to deal with Trudeau's 'upload this certificate' b.s.
👏🏻👏🏻
No we are not... Step down now...
Careful how we judge because time never lies.
But every other industry is wide open. Not following the science. It’s funny they only follow the science when it suits them
It's like if Stallin and Bozo the clown had a baby it would be Justin Trudeau.
No we are not asshole ! Maybe an endemic !
His head is buried where the sun don’t shine. He don’t care. Flexing his muscles and punishing you for daring to disobey while someone is making money hand over fist. It’s all political and about his power. Science has nothing to do with it. He is nastier than any variant.
Worst leader ever! Why won’t he resign?
What the fuck is he smoking? Justinmustgo
👍👏👏🙏🇬🇸 CovidIsNotOver MaskUpPlease 😷🙏👏 The life you save may just be yours.
The pandemic is obły in JT mind,
The pandemic is over, at this point Trudeau is acting like an immoral, corrupt dictator. It won't last forever because more and more people are waking up now.
Covid is here to stay. Let’s learn to live with it and get on with life.
Countries that still does this.. North Korea, China, Canada
No one denies its still a thing but our restrictions are on par with the Chinese and North Koreans. I'm embarrassed that this guy is still PM.
This guy needs to go...there was never any pandemic, except that caused by the media and politicians, who followed erroneous modeling by 'statisticians'...a quick review of data at May 2020 confirmed this to be serious only for the elderly, obese or immunocompromised!!
And Canada's Genocide continues under this 1st class crown embedded colonialist autocrat PM.
Anyone still believing in this man isn't Canadian. Scam
Asshole. Liar. Dictator.
Only because he’s still in house
If vaccines don’t stop transmission what is the point of the travel restriction? Genuinely asking.
The man/boy will never care about your loss of income or freedoms, he’s clueless because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Freaking dictator.
LMAOOOOO yeah this variant only effects Canadians 😂😂 what an EMBARRASSING country we live in!
This is gaslighting on steroids. JT is insane, drunk on power.
Let the stupidity contiue from Canada Prince on Nonsense
We will be in the pandemic until the federal election in 2025
🤡-🌎
......except when sock-boy is outside of Canada obv. Canada is now a singularly neurotic state.
The only pandemic is the woke government and the MSM licking their nut sack.
Bull
PsychoNarcissist
When a poor and immature is in charge this is the outcome. Poor Canada, poor our generation
Both the cbcnews and ctvnews are doing stories in the PJMT! The day before an provincial election! Unbelievable! We need an independent media that is not controlled by right wing billionaires
Good job CTV providing the state media role for the Grande Tyrant of Canada…really good “journalism”!
They do not want Canadians to travel. Trying to have zero Covid cases, good luck. Wants to collect as much carbon tax cash possible
Two thumbs Down!!!
The man just can’t give up his heavy handedness! Something has broke in this man’s head. He needs to be relieved of position due to medical instability. Our country has suffered enough under this tyranny!
1/2 dictatorships still pretending there's a pandemic. More of a power trip for the weasel
ENOUGH ALREADY!! If you can't get on with your life because you're paralyzed by the fear of getting sick, that's your problem. Your health is not my responsibility!
If Justin says we're still in a pandemic, we're obviously not in a pandemic.
Maskup COVIDisAirborne CovidIsNotOver
So who’s he getting kick backs from ,,the pandemic is over it’s called a endemic ,so let’s move the F on
Trudeau is compromised. Think Epstein compromised. All weak unqualified leaders are
And people die everyday due to cigarette smoking. According to his logic, why doesn’t he ban that?
BULLSHIT!!!!!
Do your damn job. Ask to see his science. IT seems to be different than the rest of the world. Most transparent government my arse.
Then he should stop travelling around the world and partying unmasked.
What Trudeau did is an abuse of power and is doing what he want
He’s so out of touch it’s actually crazy, but the ones still believing him are even crazier. He’s intentionally destroying our country for the good of the WEF. When will people wake up, this is insanity 😩🤦🏽♂️🤮
How can a person be so arrogant and ignorant at the same time 🤔. I can't understand.
Power hungry little boy. Wants every one he is the boss.
Trudeau is the only one in a pandemic
Our fearless assclown I mean leader.
Covid isn't over and i could care less if you disagree with me you can't wish it away or pretend it doesn't exist .
We are and Trudeau himself is the pandemic 🥴
Its like we are all 5 year olds with strings attached to our mittens fack off we are all not lib tards we can walk and chew the bubble gum u know
He ia simply a fool. Late to take action when it mattered and now holding on because he has a grudge against the unvaxxed.
Do we know if or when the pandemic will stop or is the expectation to live with restrictions in Cda forever?
No we're not...
we are, you are still PM
can restrict boarder freedoms for citizens but can’t prevent the flow of illegal guns
It seems like he is in pandemic in his head. How did we ended up with him its beyond anyone
A pandemic should be managed by epidemiologists with knowledge on pandemics. When are we going to hold accountable people who, without training or accountability, are doing so much harm? censureutoronto UofT_dlsph UofTPHAlumni PublicHealthON PHAC_GC GovCanHealth HRWcanada
Third year that I’m not attending TIFF!! May spell the demise of this used-to-be great world film festival!
Calling this still a pandemic gives Trudeau an excuse to do nothing. The worst PM in our history!
We had a 'pandemic' in 2009. Noone cared.
A PM that is doing more harm that good to Canada!!
Wow. Can someone please fill this guy in?
I can tell when I see 20,000 at hockey games in Edmonton, Calgary! 30,000 at Blue Jays games! Must be different from the ivory tower 🤔🤦♂️
“Evidence-based” is just a joke with the Trudeau gang. Countries throughout the western world have dropped most/all mandates. They are managing Covid as a public health issue. But Trudeau continues to handle it in a partisan manner. Canadians deserve better.
How come JustinTrudeau never wears a mask especially when he’s out of the country? Doesn’t he realize we are still in a pandemic?
Our Supreme Leader Big Comrade Justin Trudeau know what is better for us. We need to blindly trust him as he has a plan. We only have to trust in him and follow blindly.
Why is the population augmenting?
Nazi trudeau the traitor
Evidently, the trust the science Liberals.... don't trust the science.
So along with China and North Korea... Very telling hey JustinTrudeau
Pandémie ? ? Où ça ? ? 👀
10 years from now JustinTrudeau states 'were still in a pandemic'
😈Arrest Trudeau! Guilty of racketeering & conspiring in funding acts of terror.The bioweapon delivery 'nanoparticles' made in Canada sub licenced during gainof function moratorium-every shot involves licence fees flow back toCanada Gov TrudeauForTreason
LIAR.
BS there is no more pandemic, not that there ever really was, just more excuses to continue his tyranny and overreach of power protocols he claims is all about safety, stalling tactics for his real agenda, give it a break Sir and get off your high horse and be a 'real man'
Maybe we should declare the emergencies act on him since hes the one blocking the borders
He is insane
Trudeau syndrome = the pandemic. Douche.
“Science “
OUR PM DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OUR BUSINESSES, and using his logic he also doesn't actually care about the ukrainians because he's good with them traveling unvaccinated but not Canadians and he's using the excuse he's saving Canadians lives.
Lol there never was a pandemic
He’s only fabricating this shit for control.
Thank you 🙏🏾.JustinTrudeau for caring about the vulnerable and the small children. Thank you for promoting public awareness that COVIDisAirborne CovidIsNotOver.
Why does JustinTrudeau pretend that the pandemic only exists for the unvaccinated? The vaccinated can get and transmit the virus too... what does he know that we don’t?
No we are not cookie boy
coV-d mandates have become a mythology of which the mask is its symbol. Like a flag or corporate logo it is a psychological hack to control behaviour. Conform and obey, a power not soon given up to support JustinTrudeau Cult of Personality
We following the science which they can't prove
When he called an election he said that the pandemic was over for most people.
Guess he didn't get the global memo that every other country in the world got. Its over Justin and your stupid vaccine task force can taking a flying leap as well.
It's TRUE!!!! WE. ARE. STILL. IN. A. FUCKING. PANDEMIC. I don't give a FUCK that unvaccinated CANT FLY. Get your shot. Or stop fucking complaining.
“There are Canadians who die every single day because of COVID-19” … a more accurate statement would be “There are Canadians who die every single day… who happen to have COVID-19”
Although, I don’t agree with the restrictions, I support them staying to punish the ‘willingly unvaccinated’ for their stupidity.
People are struggling to buy gas and groceries and our Gov just does this to stir the pot and take attention off the real problems. What credentials does this man have to run our country? We are in trouble and people need to start looking at WHY that is
Where is 'the science' that proves that there was even a pandemic? alone 'still' in it.
just a disgrace
He’s an oppressor.
I get more embarrassed for our country everyday on national and international issues. I am sure he and his team care very little about the average Canadian citizen. We need someone to lead and unite Canada.
Dictators gonna dictate
'people are eager to get back to things we love but what will also further damage our tourism industry is if we get another wave' Does the prime Minister of Canada not 'follow the science' enough to know that there is no 'if'
Expect nothing less from the TrudeauRegime. 'No you can't! stomps feet I said no! more feet stomping Because I said so!', Justin Trudeau. 🤡
Trudeau's 'science' is different than the rest of the world. Either they're smarter than everyone else or JT and co. are using this to hold onto power.
Really justintrudeau Canada is the ONLY country still in a 'pandemic' Apparently you're living in your own alternate reality. You're batshit crazy and completley unstable. You are not fit to run anything, let alone an entire country. You should resign in disgrace.
How can he travel so much and tough on We Peasants!
*sigh*
I think that's the first logical thing this fool had ever said.
Still in a pandemic? He has no idea! He is still trying to figure out when and when not to wear a mask.
The vaccine was supposed to end the pandemic, it didn't work and millions of Canadians are suffering for it....still.
Really JustinTrudeau were still in a plandemic? that why most of the world has lifted covid restrictions, while you disinform Canadian yet again, Canadians wish we could impeach you
As long as we have him as a prime minister we are in a pandemic for sure!
Only in Canada
It’s over
We were only in a pandemic because you made it one. This was a scam to see how many of you sheep would obey
Before all the anti-vax/CONsupporters, etc. start, in ON there have been 3,500+ covid deaths since January this year. There were more deaths in May, 416, than in April 398. So don't go on about covid is over!
POS
At this point, he's doing this to punish us. Classic psychopathic behaviour.
Idiots
Wef guinea pig
Unwilling to give up all the power pandemic gave them
The clown show 'freedom convoy' won't be happy... ...so, that's an upside.
Covid is a business. When your the only country in the world trapping your citizens. He’s hoping to get a few more dollars out of his stupid phizer investment
It's like he doesn't live here.
We're still in a pandemic according to who JT? Give it up already We're hiding from a nonexistent threat you can't hide forever
Village Idiot. Airports are a mess. People can't get passports. What people see in this guy... I will never know.
Hire a clown expect a circus
🤡
