Time to sue Americans. They can give us all that lawsuit money they'll be getting from Gina.


Canada's early COVID-19 cases came from the U.S. not China

.. data from Canada’s largest provinces show it was American travellers, not Chinese, who brought the deadly virus to our shores.

As of April 17, Ontario has identified 1,201 cases of COVID-19 in people who had recently returned from some type of international travel. Of those cases, just five related to travel from China. By contrast, 404 were from people travelling from the United States.

You could see our pacifist, globalist government suing another nation full well knowing they won't give us anything, nor do they have any obligation to.

You really don't understand this country, do you?

Yeah, blame the US for the Canadian govt's witlessly slow reaction. Canada kept its border partially open to the US for trade. Apparently though the govt forget to send a message to Canada's border and customs officers that recreational travel from the US was verboten.


But yeah, it's all America's fault that Team Groper was, in usual fashion, a day late and a dollar short.

China gives the money to America. America gives the money to Canada. Canada sends the money back to China via the normal course of economics.

What witlessly slow reaction?
The American one?

What the Americans did, have done, will do, has nothing to do with Canada. If people came into Canada with covid19 from the u.s., that's our fault, not theirs. If infected people came into Canada from china, that's our fault, not theirs. We have control of our borders and control of who crosses it, not any one else.

It's good to know everything you can know about a threat if youre interested in defeatig it.

We know that the US border is the one we need to to careful with. America is where the sickness is most rampant and that border is porous.

And if it's porous, that falls squarely at the feet of the governing liberal party.

The fact remains that covid19 is going through america lie shit through a goose and it is going to be a problem for Canada for many years to come.

Restoring normal cross border traffic may be a long time coming.
