Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is trying to give all workers a minimum of 10 days paid sick leave per year as Canada starts to prepare for a possible second wave of the coronavirus pandemic

"Nobody should have to choose between taking a day off work due to illness or being able to pay their bills. Just like nobody should have to choose between staying home with COVID-19 symptoms or being able to afford rent or groceries," Trudeau said during a press conference from Ottawa Monday. “When the fall comes and flu season starts up we don’t want people who develop a sniffle to suddenly worry that while they really shouldn’t go into work but they can’t afford to not go into work and therefore the risk of contributing to a wave significantly, could be a real problem,” said Trudeau.

That would also be great in America as well other countries no doubt.God Bless everyone struggling with this virus panidemic

Please, name 1 country that had a 2nd wave?

TRUDEAU SHOULD BE A PRIME MINISTER IN A SOAP OPERA, I DONT KNOW IF HE CUTS IT IN REAL POLITICS.... I WISH ROB FORD WAS ALIVE.... HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST CANDIAN PRESIDENT EVER....

Our government takes care of us unlike the USA. Proud to be a 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

As a sexually frustrated misdle aged, liberal woman, my heart skips every time I see him, even more so in a mask! What a fine, perfect liberal man!

Could you guys use a different photo? I’ve seen this one so many times, it’s quite old, and I’m sure it’s not very hard to find a better newer one.

The entire Canadian response to COVID19 has been a masterclass on how a country takes care of its citizens.From CanadianPM JustinTrudeau & CPHO_Canada public health chief, Dr.Theresa Tam to the CFOperations Canada Forces who stepped up majorly to help in LTC homes.🇨🇦💙🇨🇦

Guess who will pay for it.

In the mean time our...

CNN wrote hundreds of articles on Kavanaugh. Why are they brushing the Tara Reade allegations aside

Great.

Canadian here. We want to go back to work. We want Trudeau to do the same. He's running a minority government from his cottage, and taking rights away from his people without parliamentary vote that have nothing to do with covid. But you won't report on that will you?

Okay! What’s your numbers look like CNN Does data matter anymore?

if you're going to continue with gaslighting and propaganda, there will be a reaction. Familiarize yourselves with Jean-Paul Marat and Charlotte Goday. Marat's fate awaits you.

Hey realDonaldTrump .... this is what a leader, a hot one in a mask, looks like

If anyone want the real news, it’s the NDP and theJagmeetSingh holding Justin’s feet to the fire over this.

It’s good to see our Country and Government reach a mature level of social goals by learning from the mistakes of our neighbours and ultimately ourselves. With an educated society dreams become reality. With a dim base, we’ll have a bunch of mouth breathing knuckle draggers.

Canada's epidemic prevention and control work has not been done well. This time China is doing much better than us.

Do I hear 365 paid sick leave ? 🙄🙏🏽

That is good. Workers need sick time. Some will abuse but most will not. It’s important to stop the spread of all sickness and care for the family during illness.

Meanwhile in the US. 👁️👄👁️

The second wave is guaranteed!! Not that it will actually exist just that it will be reported as existing. Prepare yourselves sheep!!

Pandemic panic network

So can Michigan leave the Union and join Canada? Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh look see how a government will prepare for the people in the future when I see that there is a issue that needs to be addressed don’t you wish we had a government they could do that

Why is this no where? Because you do not 'report' you give opinions.

possible second wave ? Hahahahahahaha

JustinTrudeau's 'better safe than sorry' approach is something I'm very grateful he's on board with. Many leading epidemiologists are predicting 2nd and eventual 3rd waves of COVID-19. Hoping for the best is great, but it takes leadership to also plan for the worst. cdnpoli

What's on the back of your mask box?

In addition to canada's usual 77?

excellent idea

the one that promises the most free goodies wins

Yeah no ones going to abuse that

JustinTrudeau a leader who cares about their country

Follow me i will follow you back💟 YouthWithYou

Ahh the inevitable 'Second Wave.' Hello bullshit my old friend.

No where is getting a second wave so why would they

Can't he focus on resolving the medical wait times for non-emergency procedures?
