You mean they will have to interrupt their busy routine of hanging gay people...? Iran is barbaric...

Wow can’t wait for them to come here

So the uranium reserves in Iran are 5 times greater than the treaty limits? Why are they holding onto the black box from downed flight.

I wonder if nuclear researchers from Iran visited North Korea and brought back the virus. North Korea could not escape the China contact. Because of the paranoid hermit country little is know at present. Could be a deadly situation within North Korea.

A few month from now....”okay guys, c’mon back to prison, it’s all good now...guys? Guys? Well 5hit!”

I heard a while back ack that everyone that lands at Person Airport will be screened for the COVID-19 VIRUS,why isn't the government of Canada doing that? You need to step up and start doing that immediately !!!!

Won't be long till Trudeau does this here.

That's a good idea there!!! I assume Turdeau has a plane ready to bring them to Canada now!

Maybe PM Justin should bring them all to Canada...

Temporarily? Uhhh, what? “You guys go home for now, but come back to jail when you feel better!

Just keep the prisoners in prison! Self quarantine and all 🙄

This isn't fishy at all...🧐🧐🙄

This should end well

How do you temporarily free a prisoner?

Enforcing mandatory quarantine for Cdns who have been to Iran? How does it make sense to have infected people spreading virus because don’t know they are sick. Self-isolation not enough, honour system, will people comply? Travellers from Iran arriving at Pearson say there was no screening in place for their flight. How about doing a story on that CTV.
