Militarizing Canada-U.S. Border Isn’t Necessary, Trudeau Says

The measures came into effect March 21 and are expected to last for at least 30 days.attempting to cross, either at the border or outside of official points of entry.

On Thursday, the prime minister also repeated announcements made by his ministers earlier this week. He noted that some travellers returning to Canada have not respected requests to self-isolate for 14 days and that they have placed other people’s health in jeopardy.As of Wednesday, it is now law for those returning to Canada from abroad to self-isolate for two weeks. Travellers must go directly to their home without making any stops.

This week, the government announced $107 billion in measures to help workers and businesses struggling to make ends meet due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The legislation, which became law on Wednesday, would allow employees, and employers who have no income, because of the coronavirus outbreak to claim $2,000 a month in direct assistance. The online portal for application is expected to be up and running in early April and Trudeau said payments should be flowing two weeks later.

It's a distraction, don't be sucked in. Don't cover it, move on!

Good

Has there been anything said of where? Maybe they actually want to put them in New York because of the crisis there but if they said that to the US population...

Let's do it anyway, what's the army doing at the moment? Preventing people from infecting each other? Not even close, send them to the border to prepare against the US invasion that's coming.

Listen Trudeau, blackface wasn’t necessary. But you did it anways. Right? What’s the lesson, the takeaway in this for you? Some things aren’t necessary, but will be done anyways. cdnpoli asylumseekers Canada

1812 deja vu all over again, Yogi! View from the Northern Wall

I agree

Yes it is Justin, now all of their hospitals are full they’re coming here! Keep them out!!

they want our MapleSyrup!!!

Agree. Not necessary at all

They want assurance Canadians aren’t coming there - somehow looking at what’s going on state side I don’t think that’s much of an issue. Canadians are happy at home and aren’t trying to get into USA - I’m fearful of the opposite

Certainly is when Canada has a total moron running the country.

Clearly it is

JustinTrudeau isnt necessary either

Trump takes swifter action than Trudeau. Once again proving how far behind he is in terms of leadership. Even terrible ones are in the lead. They look brilliant before Trudeau. Is Trudeau expecting some relative to sneak into Canada from the USA? Good job POTUS.

Agreed

Umm who cares ,, like the border is already closed and it’s not like there is a problem with illegal crossings from Canada. Who in ther right mind would want to go to the United States right now ?

😅

I play Civilization since 91 and I tell you, if another country gathers troops near your border, DO THE SAME! Dude, who put this idiot in charge...

Is there a misquote in the article? 'Canada and the U.S. have the longest militarized border in the world and it is very much in both of our interests for it to remain that way,” Trudeau said.' Non-militarized?

Restricting travel from hot spots isn’t necessary! What’s wrong with us. We just to nice.

Really, I just watched the news. They deployed National Guard to 3 states (at least) so it's obvious the next step would entail defending all borders with force.

Community spread and travel now equally blamed for COVID-19 cases in CanadaAn equal number of Canadians who have tested positive for COVID-19 contracted the virus within their communities and from travel, according to Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam. There would have been no community spread if Trudeau and his fellow lightweights had put restrictions in sooner. And Air Canada will be gone soon too. No bailouts. Trudeau is not in control. Who is the puppet master? Follow the money. He's a plant. Isn’t it a shift because all they were testing at first were people who had travelled? 🤨

Canada to help world's poor cope with COVID-19, amid UN appeal: aid ministerInternational Development Minister Karina Gould says Canada will spend millions to help the world's most desperate people fight COVID-19 because it is in the country's long-term security interest as well as being the right thing to do. Why? Why are we sending money anywhere but Canadians? We're already pulling almost $100 billion out of thin air, why are we printing more money to send to the third world? Why? Canada has done its part already. We need a 'Canada First' policy. Canada is about to BECOME the World's poor with this.
