This is the first step towards implanted medical IDs. Not a good idea.

pretty bad when Ontario's Doug Ford isn't getting paid enough..he's right to tell the federal government what to do..Doug Ford should get a raise for sure!! He's made sure Ontario is taken care of..it's time Ontario goes to the PM and says GIVE DOUG FOR A RAISE!! He's deserves it

Contact tracing is against privacy and will be used by liberals and tories to persecute leftists. You don't have our consent 🖕🏿 canpoli onpoli canlab

I understand the necessity, just hope it comes with limits/provisions, so this doesn't turn into our Patriot Act

Should the province not have this figured out before opening up for business?

Looser COVID-19 rules mean more activity, but there may be some confusionManitoba is allowing many non-essential businesses, restaurant patios, museums, campgrounds and other facilities to reopen in one of the more aggressive restart-the-economy plans Great and all of them will be using valuable PPE that should be going to our hospitals instead . Prepare for the second wave people 'shouldn't have to hide in my house/not watch TV or listen radio/delete social media to not be stressed/anxious. To be clear, I'm not scared of a virus with a 0.03% death rate, I'm scared for our loss of freedom/rights overnight. I'm scared 95% people accept this as 'new normal' Freedom is a civil right. The fact that so many were so willing to jeopardize theirs so passively is the problem. It's even worse when the sheep want to nanny others who aren't so complacent and anonymously call snitch lines.
