A 'safe restart' of the Canadian economy will likely take six to eight months, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says, a day after Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam warned that Canada could see an “explosive” second wave if the reopening is mishandled

TORONTO -- A ‘safe restart’ of the Canadian economy will likely take at least half a year, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Friday, a day after Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam cautioned that relaxing current restrictions too much or too soon could result in an ““One other thing that we would like to really underscore is what we are talking about is the safe restart right now.

Canada is fast approaching 95,000 COVID-19 cases and has recorded more than 7,700 deaths across the country. Most provinces and territories have begun reportingand deaths and are beginning to look at how to restart the economy, but Ontario and Quebec are still reporting close to or morethan 300 new cases a day and numerous deaths. The two provinces now account for more than 90 percent of the cases, but have also begun plans for reopening.

The last time the federal government made a projection was in late April, when it estimated that the country was on track to report between 53,196 and 66,835 cases of COVID-19, and between 3,277 and 3,883 deaths. In reality, there were 62,046 confirmed cases and 4,043 people had died by May 5.

i don’t believe what she says but I bet if the buffalo party gets seats there will be some of that assistance usually reserved for quebec

but protesting along side thousands shoulder to shoulder is fine?

Yeh,if all you liberals keep hiding out!

Um...Sask has already done this in a matter of 1 month. Yes, our numbers are substantially down comparably, but 6-8 months? C'mon. My guess is most people won't accept that, especially after watching our leaders standing amid thousands of close-standing protestors. 🙄

or longer if need be...

Why did we close in the first place if it’s worse nunbers now then when we closed . They promised a safe opening yet everything is back to normal and hopitals will be overwhelmed again

You're in danger of covid19... unless of course you join blm protests. Genius.

She is a nobody. Canada has started without her

Total nonsense. Get on with it

Is that what George Soros told her to say?

IfYouCanProtestYouCanParliment

action_citizen Really? I thot the PM started everything rolling when he finally came out of his cottage and joined the protest march. How many hundreds of people were walking within 6 feet of him and his buddies. Thousands are crowded together marching all over Canada. I think we’re done now.

Our own PM is going our with the masses of protesters not social distancing. If it's perfectly safe to do that then why cant we open up. Fed up with mixed signals here

Freeland said that? Friday June 5? Same day Crime Minister Blackface knelt in a photo-op, dragging his ridiculous RCMP escort into a mass gathering of thousands to protest himself. 6-8 months? No we open NOW!

Took forever to shut down borders and take action, now they are taking forever to open up. Late to the party and now won’t leave. cafreeland JustinTrudeau AndrewScheer PierrePoilievre clueless TrudeauMustGo LiberalHypocrisy TrudeauWorstPM cdnpoli

WTF

Lol fired

Not of the province’s have anything to say about it .

Psychologic Violence ❌ Control, Isolate, Instill Fear, Threaths❌Surveillance, Humilatiates, Dehumanise & Isolate. The bully playbook used by our government

Nope.. Time to open up. Full speed ahead. If TrudeauBlackface can go to a large gathering for a photo op it's time to drop the shennagins. Open up

QueenofYapmacik ne diyo 😂

Citizens of Canada are moving ahead with their lives. We don't give a fuck about JustinTrudeau and his Pravda news agencies. Especially now he's had his photo op at a BLM protest.

action_citizen When every bit of information since lockdown has been a chaotic hodgepodge of contradiction, flip-flops, 'proven' and 'debunked' science, distance/don't distance, stay home/protest, somehow Freeland has is nailed down to 6 - 8 weeks. What does she know that we don't?

Maybe that's how long JustinTrudeau & MPs should go without a paycheque!

cafreeland, it needs to start now, what the hell is the matter with you! LiberalLogic LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder Plandemic2020 trudeaumustresign

Why are we even taking the opinions of our elected officials at this point? - Masks BAD, ok now good - travel bans are BAD, ok now good - People gather in a park, BAD, now good (just don't yell) like, we are getting the advice of random probability, not 'science' cdnpoli

Worldwide Hoax

Destroying Canadians lives to interfere in the US Election. You criminals will pay for this at the polls.

'Safe restart' of Canadian economy will take 6-8 months, Freeland says...wonder if she is still having her limo follower her plane everywhere at taxpayers expense!

To completely implode!

LiberalismIsTheRealPandemic

There is only one safe trip-start for Alberta, and that’s a new Republic. The Alberta train has left the station. As for the Ottawa train? Well...

And I am sure one of your objective 'journalists' will do a oped which points out what a remarkably stupid remark Freeland made and how impractical it is.

Trudeau government has been wrong so many times during pandemic! It is time restart now! trudeauMustGo notaleader CowardOfTheCottage Hypocrite

She should be our PM. Like her so much. Especially the role she played during the trade deal negotiations. Coolness is part of her DNA for sure.

Yea, we're pretty much going to ignore everything you say from now on.

She should jumpstart the economy by buying 4 new dresses. 😃

And in real news... the safe restart already happened cops are definitely looking the other way, and cant be relied on to interfere with people doing their jobs after just having greenlit public gatherings (as long as it's for this cause, not that cause)

I restarted months ago

...but attending mass protests, rallies is safe.

Spread the PropagandaVirus

I think she means that they have a narrative to drill into your heads before they call a snap election.

Restart is Monday

Where did she get that time line from, is the government still taking advice from Tam CPHO_Canada when countries are pulling out of WHO for aiding and abetting China in helping them spread the virus in order to get a leg up on the major global economies

It would take 6-8 months for this bitch to make breakfast!

BS Freeland you have no right to keep people from earning a living. What happened to this country?

Safe or unsafe doesn't matter when people lose their houses cause they can't work. Well, the elite class can't understand that. Typical of them.

OPEN THE HOC 🤬 OPEN THE COUNTRY🤬 CanadianPM Out protesting in the streets amoung the police haters🤬 WTAF is that? cowardofthecottage for 90 days, now Antifa supporter.

So why the mass protests? Cannot limit social gatherings any longer, Trudeau attended a mass gathering. GREEN LIGHT EVERYONE!

Who is paying our bills?

Canada is screwed under this idiot.

Hmmm restarting the economy sounds uhh... fun?...

this is an absolute lie and should be immediately disregarded. As should ANY shutdown anything from today forward forever neveragain

We're done NOW. Trudeau's consent is plastered all over the internet. I'm not letting this POS play benevolent dictator anymore. He can get the hell out of the way, or he can show the world the REAL dictator he always wanted to be when he grew up. Time for big boy pants, Trudy!

Nope. If the PM can protect breaking Provital laws for social distancing than we can reopen the economy now.

We’re being run into the ground by absolute morons.

Safe restart like what we’re seeing with uncontrolled herds of rioters and protesters mindlessly chasing fake systemic racism, while stealing guitars. This safe restart included Justin joining the crowds to do some virtue signalling kneeling .

If sock boy can go march around in protest with hundreds of others, he can damn well go back to work. So can the rest of us.

Is this right? It should be days or weeks Not months 🇨🇦 will not survive

Protests in the streets allowed. Open up everything now.

There will be no restart, a government can kill an economy but they can’t build one. Especially these clowns

6-8 months or a couple protests. Whatever comes first TrudeauBlackface

But protests are fine if you wear & mask & don’t yell... this country is a fucking mess!!

Fuck right off!

Realistic

Cee you next tuesday...to the nth degree🖕

These Libs have no end to their double standards and hypocrisies, I can't even so here's a meme.

Make wearing facemasks mandatory for all indoor public places, then we can go back to normal sooner! cafreeland

6-8 Months - from Dec. 2020 to Feb. 2021. If we have COVID-19 rebound in the fall, or a new mutation of it arrives in the fall-winter we may be seeing the virus growth in ON and QC continue until the spring. Hopefully the other provinces & territories will do better.

Is freeland not watching her government owned news stations, the provinces have already started reopening/ economic recovery (it’s a process). Not sure what’s she’s saying. Please let her know CTV.

Yesh.. we can't afford to wait that long

Fuk you Freeland

not you sure you heard of actions speak louder than words!! but can't blame you, you had been purchased!! FakeNews

You may as well just open it. Everyone I know has given up! Your boss just attended a protest with thousands of people, it’s over!

No, it was definitely today! You totally put the economy on hold until a protest is acceptable.

No it won't! Pfft... Just get to it.

6-8 months? But Prime Minister Blackface KokaneeGrope was just on his knees surrounded by thousands today not observing social distancing.

While this idiot still ponders starting the economy the provinces will be 3 steps ahead.

cafreeland easy for you to say since you get your full fat rpay even though you’re not working. How about Canadians who have been laid off from their jobs?

Criminal act against Canadians. China already open for business with over a billion people. Little Canada with 35 million needs 6-8 months! 😳 What is this REALLY about? 🤔

If u have nothing better to say , don’t say at all. Stop shooting in the dark. Non sense.

I have some difficulties believing anything from this administration.

No

After today🇨🇦is open! Everyone can mix & mingle..that’s what they did on Parliament Hill today. Great to be able to have our Celebtations of Life🙏for loved ones now. Ours is next week for our 101 Dad. We need Closure & Trudeau gave everyone his blessings today. Thanks JT 👍👌

Liberals have always been stupid but this makes Canadians even more stupid. Canadas finest will be leaving as soon as they can for greener pastures 🇺🇸

It’s already started , liberals sit this out , Canadians know what to do !

So the collapse of Canada starts now then.

Yeah. No. Your government lost all moral authority to tell us when and how to gather when Trudeau decided to mingle with thousands of protestors today.

You are wrong, AGAIN!

puppet freeland

As a “journalist” by profession she’s taken how many graduate commerce courses qualifying her to lead our economy? Yeah didn’t think so. 🙄

Oh. They haven't bankrupted enough people and businesses yet.

We need to open the f country.

Idiots! After Trudeau protesting nice and close to others, Martial Law is done! Quarantine is to protect the week and vulnerable. Martial law is when everybody is locked down.

In 6 -8 months , there won’t be anything left to restart..... Tell your puppet masters at the un that tge people are out on their NWO agenda. TrudeauIsATraitor UNEXITNOW

Ex-fucking-cuse me?

Unbelievable government

Just in time for new election..lol..

I think the tight 'dress' finally cut off any meaningful blood supply

CDC numbers out last week has ages 0-49 have a 99.95% chance of survival, 50-64 99.8% chance of survival and over 65 98.7% chance of survival

It's up to provinces and they're all moving forward.

Get back to work. You folks have a job to do and that job is not to show us your leisure activities.

Moron

In 6-8 months the battery will be dead..... you guys are circus clowns

But you can show up at protests with thousands of other people. What a bunch of hypocrites the Libs are.

I say “6-8 minutes.”

Freeland and the rest of this farcical task force can go pound sand. Time for ALL Canadians to revolt. Our lives matter!

What do these morons smoke?

The Liberals have been so accurate so far so let’s continue to believe them. CTV certainly does.

Liberals only know how to close economy’s not restart them.

Why is she commenting, she doesn't know if her ass is punched or bored.

Nope! Our Dear Leader has shown us (and his companions)... We can jump back in the mix of it. Lockdown is OVER!!!

That’s wishful thinking

Lol Alberta and SK already reopening

The corona virus is burning out but the politicians don't want to give up their power

It’s about time that people think for themselves, and do what is right for them. Leaders that say one thing, but do another have been given their due. This nanny state will continue with its’ mantra ‘stay safe, ’. Small businesses, houses of prayer need to be open. Enough already

BS to Freeland and Trudeau there never was any threat at all and all MSM helped with his lies, you do realize that will bite you all in the face one day.

cafreeland You are not only hypocrites!! No, that's not good enough! You have Moxy!!!

That's what happens when you voted black face In..

I moved all my money from the Canadian market. Doesn’t look like there will even be one

.....the stupidity of this woman leaves me literally speechless.

Brought to you by Prime Minister JustinTrudeau He now supports the full opening of Canada's economy but how come he can stand elbow to elbow with protestors but can't sit in a full Parliament to support ALL Canadians? Oversight and Accountability BackToNormal Canada or Bust

Boy, am I glad I moved abunch of my investments to US equities.

Meanwhile protests are ok!!! What’s social distancing when you are protesting. Virus is only after the economy it seems!!!

But protests are ok. Got it

Freeland Trudeau and Ford can shove it they're not taking one more minute of my freedom.

The tests were for general coronavirus. Not covid specific. They spent trillions to diagnose us and lock us down fr the common cold.

What does she know about economics?

How would she know, it hasn’t happened yet

......lol........meanwhile PM Skippy McBlackFace is doing a photo-op surrounded by hundreds.....

I just can’t take this fraud seriously, this is all I see when I see her.

Mayshebshouldbtakeba knee.... her nose did, why not?

2/2 Germany, after investing €500 billion euros to cushion the blow, announced that it will invest €130 billion to restart the eco. Something similar is needed here, but alas we lack money. Germany is almost fully open now.

1/2 I have no trust in what Freeland or Trudeau say. But, the C.D Howe Institute, published a report on how to safely restart the economy and the principles needed. I read German, French, British, US, Spanish, Austrian, Belgian and Australian news. No Leader set a time to restart

Uh

While you guys stand around holding your pearls hoping the boogie man goes away and we don't all die, some of us have not stopped working at all. We have maintained the service level and kept the business open. You are an idiot if you think most of us are buying this BS.

Obviously she doesn’t realize we don’t care what they say. Protesting in the thousands means everything opens up NOW

Another terrible leader ...

Says a failed journalist.

Dumb as a stump and all we can do is shake our head

hey stupid ... the pandemic is over ... the march this morning proved it ...

Good Lord. How stupid do they think we are? Let’s just all go back to work and ignore these proclamations...

Fuck off swamp rat douchebag!

The provinces decide, not you and your daily side show!!!PeterMacKay RobertFife TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauBlackface TrudeauTransparency

Click your ruby red heels together 3 times and you can go home any time you want.

So more CERB....

Meaning what exactly?

Despite the clowns on social media, their approval ratings are high af

But shoulder to shoulder protesting is fine?

Leprechaun1984 Its already started, full bore. Hasn’t she seen the protests? Public health officials have given the green light, best available science thingy.

Um.... did you not see your supreme leader in Ottawa today? Social distancing? Um .... nope! How do u expect citizens to self distance when JustinTrudeau isn’t? Nope 👎. We’re done here

I've got your 'Restart' right here, Chrystia... HOPE Rhymes With ROPE!! RiseUp2020 ~ CanadaMatters ~ SoSayWeAll!!

Good grief we will have no small businesses left in operation by then.

No such thing as safe. Let's get on with it.
