Where did a number like that come from? From marketing, surely. Special price, $299.95, less than $300! Buy now!

Get ready government will soon put people on two meters leashes and assign handlers.

Guess $300 was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much

People should be forced to wear condoms also while going about their day. You do not want to catch dong covid.

We need to get it together man! Our inability to keep COVID-19 down is pathetic. Canadians

Manitoba bureaucrats never miss an opportunity for revenue generation.

I have a question for the people who refuse to wear masks in public spaces because they feel it is against their rights. Do you also refuse to abide by non-smoking bylaws in public indoor areas? In the past 20 years or so I haven't seen or heard of anyone lighting up 1/2

Coercion, fear, financial distress - these are what Government does best. Government is tyranny.

When people not take things seriously and listen to reason, this has to happen. When governments of all stripes become strict and take viruses seriously, how can this be some sort of globalist reset fabrication?

the best way to not get sick is to not wear a mask or put swabs into your nose... no test... no flu-shot... no vaccine... no needles... believe it or not... fighting sickness by injecting it into healthy bodies... is stupid beyond belief... don't do any of it... stay healthy(:~:)

Take the fine to court. It'll be thrown out before you EVER have to pay for it ...
