being swept up in public backlash for travelling over the holidays – it turns out a substantial number of the public travelled abroad during the holidays.
The data – which was analyzed by marketing research firm Environics Analytics for The Globe and Mail – came from a database of location data comprised of 20 million mobile phones, which they then cross-referenced with census demographics and postal codes to build a profile of who was travelling.
Needs to be a clear and decisive ban
Then get the names and fine them for breach of “stay at home” orders. Take that money and use it to supplement the incomes of those whose ARE staying home, suffering, on the verge of loosing their homes, etc....HELP those who are doing as you ask!!!!!😡
Data!? Like cell phone data? Oh and don't forget to please download our contact tracing and we know you traveled app.
Ask Sophie to come home
'Young people and wealthy, white Canadians were more likely to travel overnight over the holidays' ... 'white Canadians'? What difference does the skin colour make here? Seriously ... WTH.
Why he is traveling all the time! And so are the rest of the political ppl! This is a scam!! Only the banks and Global elite have won! Wake up!!
But it was ok for him to go to the Caribbean 🤨🧐
Read the stats in the article, the findings are stupid to say the least. Very misleading.
Is there any backlash for the people who traveled needlessly? How did they get to travel in the first place?
Shut them down. Don't ask.
How many of those are politicians?
Why travel even allowed?
How do they know from your phone your age, color of skin, and financial situation? And why does CTV has to specify white people?
I heard he just came back from the carribeanso how he is saying don't travel.
What do you get when you elect a PM that was a part time drama teacher of low intelligence, fortunate enough to have a famous last name? An idiotic hypocritical fraud who is always embroiled in some sort of scandal. But l guess l am experiencing things differently!
JustinTrudeau when will you understand your attempts at “urging” are not working. Step up to the plate and do something! Prove you are worth your salt.
But who cares if people travelled it’s already been proven by the government that covid spread is not from travelling abroad 🤦♂️🙄
He counted himself in that number correct? CrimeMinister
We have 1 million politicians in Canada ?
Justin takes a half million dollars from a taxpayers funded kids charity and gives it to his family members 🇨🇦
Disgraceful this is allowed
What a disaster !!! But fines for healthy people at home !!
Anyone traveling should have to pony up the cost for two week quarantine in a hotel plus the cost of food as part of their ticket/package. Even if you live alone as we unfortunately need to make the rules based on our stupidest/selfish citizens. If you can’t afford don’t travel.
1M travelled ... and ... why isn't everybody dead? Sick? Infected? It's been a month! C'mon man!
Weak leader, weak followers.
Urges are what I have when I want cake. Language matters. Ban travel if that’s what’s needed. Now I’m going to eat some cake.
Four weeks from now will mark 1 full year that strict quarantine measures should have been applied at the borders by the Trudeau government. Just like New Zealand and Australia did.
they are so wrong and can not be trusted to help us
Someone could have closed the airports
How were people able to travel? Oh yes, we left the airports wide open. And btw, where were you during the Christmas holidays Mr. Prime Minister?!
fucktrudeau goof idowhatiwant scamdemic plandemic thegreatreset
Stop asking, start forcing JustinTrudeau. Clearly leaving it up to people is not working. Time to reward those of us who are wearing masks, NOT travelling, NOT visiting with loved ones - show US you have our backs.
With the rate Canadians are losing jobs who can afford to travel!?
Wasn't he in the Bahama's. He was MIA all Xmas time
Didn't he travel too?
Trudeau can go pound sand.
I stayed home for the first time ever and missed Christmas with my family. This is ridiculous. 1M is way too much for a country our size.
How about leave people the hell alone.
Close the borders. Shut down the airports. They've been warned repeatedly.
Canada's politics can be summed up and this picture of Justin Trudeau looking at the ground
Half of them work in government
No wonder!!! Can’t blame the Government
He can shove it
Here's an idea ... shut down the airports!!!
Shut the borders!! Omg
Including him
This SCUMBAG was in the Caribbean last Xmas
How is it possible to know the colour of ppls skin who traveled?
Including Trudeau?
U allowed it
And they were all gov’t workers 😂
How about start by testing as per the WHO new guidelines. PCR testing is severely flawed
Clarification- “Regular People” should cancel travel plans; if you are an MP or MLA, this does not apply to you - go ahead and enjoy your February break!!
Is there a journalist anywhere who has the guts to ask Trudeau where he went on Christmas? Anyone?
Why are you even allowing anyone to travel in the first place? I find it so hard to believe that you are allowing people to take planes to anywhere or arrive from any country. Canadians are dying and getting infected on a daily basis. PLEASE SUSPEND ALL FLIGHTS except cargo.
🥱🥱 ain’t gonna happen Mr Barbados
“Urging” doesn’t work. You can urge all you want
Didn't his family go on a tropical vacay not long ago?
Any reporter ask him where he spent his Christmas vacation...yet?
Jt, why dont YOU cancel international flights to and from Canada? We are a year in and the travel bs and airline industry has done its part to dig our hole much deeper. Time to make a good choice. Dont count on Canadians to be responsible, be a leader.
This confirms that co-citizens bypass this as if it were a loophole for their entitlement. They have the wherewithal to get passports,visas,tickets,taxis,hotels,etc. but can't bother to get a test before returning! New costs : Proof of test or a 2-week quarantine billed to you.
Closed borders but people can fly? Someone needs the Airlines to make money I guess.
How does cell phone data detect skin colour and net worth?
FakeNews....what a completely insulting story that’s made up.
1 Million sheep strong!
Ottawa is a mess. I don't think there is a problem with traveling. People need to see life and have fun. COVID19 COVIDIOT
Travel is legal. People can be just as responsible for their actions when on holiday as they can in their own neighborhoods. Then they follow the legal requirements to quarantine. Stop vilifying people who took a holiday. No proof they are making the situation worse.
The problem is people are just proving that they are horrible at adapting to things, covid is new, it keeps changing, people need to not just read 1 article from a year ago and keep repeating out dated information, the new variants are bad, we need to stay home and stay safe
Check this out Mr Prime minister. It’s Dougie,last weekend.
The feds have done a dismal job communicating during this pandemic, we have so many mixed messages from so many sources people are confused. If trudeau doesn’t want people to travel then he should ban it. Simple as that.
How does cell phone data know race or income level?
Justin caused this mess.
A leader of the Party ...but not a leader of Canadians
Any reporters at your station going to ask if he was one of them? Or do you not do any investigative reporting any more?
Anyone travel outside Canada should have health insurance revoked.
I’ve always said.. JustinTrudeau is one in a million.
Eureka!! What a discovery!!
It’s hilarious that they say the vast majority who travelled were white ... with 1/3 being from racialized groups. Do you even know the demographic composition of Canada? There are roughly 70% white... so the data above literally has NOTHING do with race 😂😂 “journalists”
Didn't they claim half travelled a week ago? Losing credibility fast to cover the butts of the resort politicians.
And what % of those 1m were travelling for family reunification? Focus the solution on the problem, the vacationers. Don’t punish us for their irresponsibility. LoveIsNotTourism FacesofAdvocacy JustinTrudeau BillBlair marcomendicino OmarAlghabra
Where did he go!! Still too secret!! Wasn’t at the cottage!!! Wait till the bills come in
Why are there flights at all?!
Thank You Yes they all should be punished for being ignorant and not caring They think the rules are not for them only everyone else
This will be a test to see if you and the rest of the gov stays home. You urge but you don't follow. I was made to live that way when I was young. Do n9t expect me to live the same way with you guys. It won't work. I dispise living do what I say not what I do bullshit.
Not to worry, got my canoe tied up good! 🤣🇨🇦
Probably most of them Albertans
Many people will ignore advice. I say make it firm and clear. No travel for leisure. That means most people heading south.
This is just a witch-hunt for political theatre
please provide more information about which database this phone data came from!
At least I was one pf those who traveled out of Canada over the Holidays because I see this country is going to restrict our freedom even more and keep us locked here. This is how North Korea must feel like
Where did Trudeau go CTV or did they just send pilots of government planes to Bahamas for a Christmas vacation.
ctvnews please explain your methodology in correlating cellphone tracking data with income and race? Does BellMobility inform customers they are tracking their travel, race and income?
Like him?
Man up for once in your life and use the quarantine act...
We had a 'bad flu season ' , fair enough.... stop the flights and open the country. Enough people have died Because of Covid
Hypocrites asking you to cancel your travel but they are allow to travel like PattyHajdu JustinTrudeau CPHO_Canada liberal_party fordnation NDP CPC_HQ maybe they should how how much they travelled during lockdown and when covid started. Hypocrites
Stop 'urging' and just shut down the airports. 'Urging' does absolutely nothing when corporations and politicians blatantly disregard the 'rules' every single other Canadian has been forced to follow
I urge you to cancel foreign travel flights and mass immigration... but we know that won't happen
Only relevant if there is direct unrefutable evidence that that travel resulted in significant infection transmission. Otherwise we should be focused on the areas of significant concern. Oh- and this is a deflection to divert attention away from his vaccine and GG fiasco.
The fact this dude is not chuckled at is a disgrace to my brain. Has he done anything we can be proud of in our BATTLE with COVID? Like point to ONE innovative modern solution to the issue of our lifetime. Show me him ahead of ...ANYTHING? PLEASE MEDIA. MOCK HIM with proper ?s 🐏
When will this puppy dog turn wolf?
Better late than never...?
1 mil out of the 37 mil that live here, save your money for your kids, its better than becoming patient zero of a new strain
Justin Come Lately (again)
He still leaves the airports open. This guy is backwards.
😂😂😂 He’s “urging”... ooo that’s like saying, “stop or I’ll say stop again!” He needs to grow a set and actually close the borders and all travel. But it was he that travelled to the UK in March and his wife came back covid+ 🙄🙄🙄
If you are such a selfish a-hole that you can’t put a trip on hold then your ohip should be cancelled.
Clearly, we cannot count on humans to address this. May be time to ban travel altogether for a few months
Ok front line workers, hold the fort, while we conduct our business & enjoy our holidays ..
I’m just curious why you pointed out that 2/3 of the travellers were “white” vs “racialized”. That shouldn’t be a surprise as it reflects the current ethnic makeup of Canada. C_Somos Christy what’s the point of identifying race when it’s not relevant?
The majority of whom “were white and wealthy”? The Trudeau government seems to be learning its surveillance state well from the China...wow...
The government can pay me back. Lol
Yep. I should have went as well. I was under the assumption no one was vacationing down south. Sitting here on a non refundable $4500 voucher from Sunwing. Expires a year from now. I thought I’d do the right thing while others are basking in the sun down south. Bull shit.
Perhaps he shouldn’t have travelled anywhere either! But then rules don’t apply to this narcissist.
Here we go again. Our misery is assured at the hands of our corrupt, lying, hypocrite Politicians & Health Officials cdnpoli CPHO_Canada epdevilla JustinTrudeau fordnation
“The majority of travellers were white and wealthy” who writes your racist garbage ?
I should've just went on my vacation.
Like you didn’t know.
“URGES”? Love that. Wimp JustinTrudeau
JustinTrudeau you need to close airports or people have to show proof of essential travel at airport. If not university students will travel on Feb. break $ gr. 1-12 for March Break!! closeairportsinternationaltravel
This has been going on how long now ? Kind of too late as per usual by our government
Once again watching the comment section turn on each other
How many of those were federal/provincial employees?
Half of which were MPs and MLAs...
Little slowon the uptake
Any more planes arriving?
And of course Trudeau was one of them.
Ya ok
.....and almost all of them Canadian politicians.
STAY Home Canadians. 😷💉💉
But to be fair, most were just trying to get somewhere they wouldn't have to listen to him.
Shut down all borders period! Shut down all flights!
How rich. Justin Trudeau has declared war on Canada's 'white and wealthy'.
Stop urging and legislate. People just don’t listen. I’m in Gatineau, where we can’t buy coats, boots, gloves because these items aren’t considered essential and I can’t leave my house after 8pm or see my family, but idiots will travel for Mar.break in 4 wks.
Unreal. Canadians are just as selfish as Americans are. Everyone has been told countless times not to travel. When I go out, I still see tons of men without masks. Unless you make something into law, men will not listen because they are often deliberate troublemakers.
Maybe the people would urge you and your mob to do the same?
Stricter measures please! Closing borders to non essentials is a must if we want to get through this pandemic! Nothing else will stop the hoaxers or non believers from travelling!
Oh but instead Trudeau will just keep letting plane full after plane full of infected Covid positive travellers from other countries into Canada hey Smart!! 👍 WBrettWilson
What next? Are we going to be issued travel passes based on the color of our skin? This didn't work out too well in apartheid South Africa.
You have waited this long, why not wait until after the March break, or maybe check with your fellow politicians and make sure they didn't have an travel plans you might interrupt 😀✈️
Cancel travel for everyone except Trudeau. He can go to China on a one way ticket and stay there. We don't want him here.
'The majority of whom were white and wealthy – traveled overnight during the holiday season' Jesus Fucking Christ. I don't even know where to start.
Urges do not affect the anti-mitigation folks. Any mention of caring for others seems to fuel their need to not give af about how they may harm others. Since they think it makes them brave, they are proud of their behaviour. It would be funny if it wasn't so horrible.
I'm more curious if they tracked the data of those who traveled after they returned. Did those travelling quarantine for 14 days after they returned? Or were they tracked going out all over the place?!
I still want to know if he did.
PM urges ? No ones listening. Stop deflecting and get to work, How about you and our procurement minister start securing some vaccines and start rolling that out. Israel is almost up to 50% of their people vaccinated. Enough with this Instagram government.
3/4 of them work for the Government including in his cabinet- haha!!
Hey JustinTrudeau stop being so wishy washy and close the borders! Some people are obviously too selfish to control themselves so take the travel option away! Let's beat this virus before it steals another summer!!
Where did the mobile phone data come from?
His own fault for being so open with travelling. Trusting people to do the right thing clearly isn't working for a large majority so put stricter rules in place.
RobbieMcGilliv1 What didn’t get an invite this year to Aga Khans island Justin?
What about his trip to Barbados
start fining if you have the data
With half of those numbers being Alberta UCP staffers and politicians
Half of them were in his parliament! Tell them to stay hone!
One exception. I would like to see the P.M. take a long vacation out of the country so the rest of us can be relieved of his condescending missives, and lack of real accomplishments.
LydiaCTV Including himself
Does this include politicians?
The Charter of Rights.... is what allows Canadians citizens to travel Section 6 (1) and 6(2) listened to our PM explain this the other day. So pay attention to this article and follow the recommendations.
Joke
freedom of movement is first to go if Canada does not stop the spread of WuhanSARS made in Wuhanlab
Should be calling out fellow politicians who do continue to travel while preaching to the masses to stay home.
He allowed this when he refused to close the Airport when he kept the Border with US closed. Both should of remain closed from the very beginning....
When you never closed borders to everyone..what do you think will happen Trudeau.. step in and close them
Maybe urge the hospital close that traveled to stay home too..
1 million traveller's and so little infections compared to that?
Is this from the guy that 66% of people didn’t vote for? Or the blackface guy? Or the guy that said all leaders should come from QB? Wait....I’m so confused....?
Has a single 'journalist' in Canada verified where the PM was during the holidays?
1 million travelled, arghhh, really? Hope they are not all from Québec, I am tired of the province being top in all the covidiots categories... Please review how South Korea welcomes travellers, man, that is really strict!!
Are u cancelling your plans JT? No? Your elected leaders? No? Didn’t think so.
JustinTrudeau Mar break coming & snowbirds coming home. What a mess that will be if borders (land/sea/air) are not really CLOSED. Why are planes even allowing people to board without essential status? Good grief. dobetterbebetter whatsitgoingtotake
CanadianPM maybe you should ban people for flying for recreational purposes. Its been a year. Time to get tough.
I’ve been staying home but it’s funny others with “excuses” or “reasons” seem to go away. When their caught, it’s alway “I’m sorry” after the fact. I’m fed up staysafe
Are the politicians canceling all their trips?
So what happens in March and April when all the snowbirds return bringing a swarm of COVID-19 back with them and not strictly quarantining? Why are we waiting to close ALL flights? Have we not learned from last Spring
What you permit you promote. If you want people to stop travelling then you have the power to stop international travel. What are you waiting for? Or better yet, who is the PM pandering to
🤔
Well that’s the problem when you leave the airports opened instead of closing the airports compared to the closed borders of just driving down. Borders govern land it doesn’t matter if you drive or fly across borders are put in place To divide land
Put travelers in forced isolation. Want to go down south for a trip? Cool, but when you get back, you're stuck in a Motel 6 room for 14 days, no visitors, no leaving.
These ppl should be excluded from getting the vaccine until everyone else gets theirs
Why doesn't our PM show balls and ban all non necessary international even domestic trips?
That's just travesty right there
I don’t trust him. He has has to many ethics violations to trust him.
Well soon all the snowbirds will be coming home, I hope they have some serious quarantine time! For those that flew I hope they must pass the covid test or send them back to their warm counties where they were even lucky enough to get the shot before us👎
I don’t know who he is trying to look like but that hair is ridiculous and makes him look really silly.
But did Trudeau go anywhere?
Ground those fucking airplanes and close the borders!!!!!!!! Stupid people will not listen unless you make them listen!
He needs to announce that on February 10th the airports are being shut down. If you’re mot where you need to be (i.e. get your ass home) then sucks to be you. Outgoing flights should be full on non-Canadians only and incoming flights should be Canadians only. And then do it.
Are Canadians starting to be stubborn spoiled brats like our American neighbours? 😔
BrendaJJones24 Close the airports. Close them now.
Do something about it. People are not going to stop traveling if the option is still there.
make 30 days quarantine requirement for enter Canada with GSP locator
When Justin answers where he was over Christmas I might consider listening to him. Until then no way.
This man is a liar. About everything.
Unlike any of your Ministers over the Christmas Break...
Get your own house in order before dictatorteudeau puppetgeneral JustinTrudeau
JustinTrudeau, do you believe asking people to do things without a reward or penalty will get results?
The government is one of my most trusted advisors. Sent from my iPhone in St. Barts.
He should go back into DRAMA!
The 1 million travelers includes JT and his family members
What next fuckhead? You and you alone fucked io the vaccines, try and stand up you little weasel, grow a set of balls and do something! You are a useless piece of shit!
JustinTrudeau step up and do your job...I cant believe how arrogant and useless you and the party have become....being on the election
GIVE ME A BREAK! He is a YEAR too late with this one!!!!!! sorrynotsorry
Quit updating us with statements of the US boarder being closed - it's NOT closed. It's closed if you drive or walk across a controlled point of entry. It is completely legal and easy though to fly to/from the US. So, it's only closed if you can't afford to fly! Ridiculous!!
Devil is in the details, look at beard.... same one as now
No matter what laws are passed, there will be always individuals and groups that will always do the opposite, either out of spite for the government in power or for the people who voted them in.....or just because they do not give a damn about anyone else but themselves.
What 'data'? You surveilling us Justin?
MEEKSVS I think it is beyond time for urging and pleas.. Clearly, there needs to be more specific and stringent rules around this.
uspoli cdnpoli pnpcbc auspol polcan eupol nzpol CTVppv UKpolitics How do you rate Trudeau's handling of the claimed Covid19 pandemic. Canada claims 499 deaths per million compared to China 3 per million & only 1 in the last 8 months.
How much do you want to bet he did anything but cancel his own travel plans over Christmas break?
Lol wait till March break. When families give you the giant middle finger and travel to their favourite destination. Good for them too if they do. This bullshit do as we say but not as we do mentality these governments has is ridiculous. Maybe look at opening the border with US!
Urge? Do something about it. Get tough. All you do is give us your verbally diarrhea.
I love how the key word is “urges”... how about “do not travel” period..until we get this under control. These weak requests are falling on deaf ears.
So the government has access to our phone data and even can tell the colour of the skin and how much money the people had from our phone records? I don’t recall checking off a race and sending in my financial statements when I signed up for a cellular device?
Ban. All. Travel.
Start with notifications to ministers!
No.
JustinTrudeau CanadianPM STOP PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM LIVING & tell them to take VITAMIN D3. LOOK AT THE SCIENCE, listen to THE GOOD DOCTORS ashkaur dockaurG richardursomd drsimonegold IF INTENTIONS ARE TO KILL PEOPLE & TO DESTROY THE ECONOMY then RCMPONT should be called
Too bad he wasn't someone like the Prime Minister who could actually do something like close the borders, restrict travel or something. But I guess all he can do is just ask people to not travel after they've already traveled.
What part of stay home is to hard to understand?
Urge hey...Some real strong language from the leader of this country. I urge my dog not to pee in the house. Try actually doing something.
Our fearless leader who doesn't hesitate to excuse himself from his personal 'urges.'
This confirms that our co-citizens are bypassing this as if it were a loophole for their entitlement. They have the wherewithal to get passports,visas,tickets,taxis,hotels,etc. but can't break a sweat to get a test before boarding! Next phase : quarantine hotels and bill them!
Start with your own government officials first. So many of you guys travelled south.
Tell that to all those hypocritical politicians who got busted over the holidays. Lead by example!
He'd better not be a classist and hold the politicians/ruling class complicit in undermining covid restrictions fully accountable for their blatant disregard of enforced safety protocols. Let's end different sets of rules for different classes in the western world, eh?
Why are you still allowing flights in? Take a lesson from Jacinda.
How bout we cancel Turdo and his abusive staff he selects
Close the airports!
What a joke that guy is, we need some ‘normal’ Canadians to get into politics, it’s sad the type of humans are drawn to policits.
So where was the punk of the century for 2 weeks
Dictator!!! 🤦🏽♀️
It’s almost like people for some reason want to go to countries with less draconian lockdown rule. SO WEIRD!
Was that 999,998 plus him and Sophie? Or is he saying the million included him?
Close the borders...dont allow flights and there wont be any travel...Quebec and Ontario have been asking you for months!
Thats disgusting. Doesnt help when leaders arent following rules themselves.
Entitled asshats spreading the gd virus 🦠 GFY
Tell him to bugger off. None of his business what I do.
Yeah after him and othee MP came from holidays from Barbados and Costa Rica🙄
Why so you guys can travel , so then we don't run into you.
How is this legal during a pandemic?
Don’t urge - close the borders. Honestly. March break is coming. Yes it sucks but we are trying to get rid of the Rona so we can all enjoy life again.
Will you ever call him out for not actually doing anything to curb air travel? Or implement a real quarantine system? How many Canadians have to die before Trudeau takes action? JustinTrudeau
No
F him.
I was told only 1 was enough to cause a disaster yet we had 1 million ?
