PM Trudeau to announce international flight restrictions

The flight restrictions will see some international flights rerouted to Montreal, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver for dedicated enhanced screening, after the government indicated on Friday that the number of Canadian airports these flights could come into would soon be limited.With schools, community centres and businesses shutting their doors in an effort to help contain the novel coronavirus, many Canadians are spending the day indoors, social distancing or self-isolating.

Trudeau is addressing the nation from self-isolation at 1:00 pm EDT Monday, followed by a media availability featuring several top cabinet ministers from Parliament Hill, where the details of the latest measures being taken will be discussed. The prime minister has been self-isolating since Thursday, when his wife Sophie was confirmed to have contracted the virus.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Health Minister Patty Hajdu, Treasury Board President Jean-Yves Duclos, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair, Transport Minister Marc Garneau, and Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Dr. Theresa Tam will speak from the National Press Theatre.

Trudeau chaired a federal cabinet meeting from his own self-isolation on Sunday. Before the meeting, he told CTV's Question Period that all options would be discussed, including shutting down the border to international travellers and implementing mandatory self-isolation. On their way out of the cabinet meeting, ministers said that the decisions they took would be announced on Monday.Meanwhile,

At 1:00pm? He called this time yesterday, can they do a worse job? OMG. Trying to incite full panic! TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice

LIVE SOON? He's 25 minutes late already. Apparently Skippy needs a warm up act

Still waiting...if he sees his shadow, do we get another 6 weeks of COVID19?

There is nothing to see here.

Would be nice if your subtitles worked for deaf and hearing impaired instead of gobbledygook going across the screen

Announcement yesterday that it would be 1:00pm Monday. What time is “soon?” Will you question him on how people should respect border laws when Trudeau himself has encouraged people to ignore border laws for 4 years?

3 months too late JustinTrudeau

Is his finger painting taking a little longer than expected?

Hurry up for gods sake. People still actually have to work and you’re 20 minutes late!!!

Now the anti American portion of our program...

Did he forget?

Come back to me when he announces his retirement.

You think? It’s about time. A day late and a dollar short.

One week plus 20 minutes late

JustinTrudeau too late dork

Yes he was supposed to speak at 1:00 today...hmm has he got trouble getting his pants on?

Little late no?

What’s the hold up?

Does he know how to tell time?

Good god..Laflamme is now getting Workman to criticize Britain for not closing its borders. First anti Trump non stop criticism...now this. HOW DO TRUDEAU ..and HIS failures.

So are the left going to call him a racist like they were calling Trump at the end of January?

It is time for reporters to ask the hard?s. Stop thinking about the federal funds your employer is getting to stay afloat. No leadership at the top so apply pressure for the health of Canadians.JustinTrudeau
