The COVID-19 outbreak has prompted two First Nations on the west coast of Vancouver Island to restrict access to their communities.

Two nations are taking matters into their own hands and illegally stopping traffic from getting to the west coast.  These aren’t just two first nations’ communities, but two towns with thousands of people in them.

Borders shut down and you’re stuck in the States because you were too dumb to leave earlier?

Here’s a helpful hint....   walk across the ditch and go home.

They're still accepting migrants from US walking over the border.

What do you suggest?  Shooting them?   Or turn them away to potentially infect people?  Or have them infect Canadians when they sneak across after turning them back? 

Which option do you think puts Canadians/Americans at the least risk?

This is the #1 complain of the alt-right troll army online.

I ask them: what would you have them do ?  what did Harper do about it ?  Their remarks aren't helpful.  They say to jail them, which isn't legal, and is basically a more expensive option than what we are already doing.

I found the sudden shift at Fox fascinating. Their talking points were clearly downplaying the virus and using it like they do climate change as a political wedge. It's surprising that they were so willing to start telling the truth.

Fear can do that. They finally figured out how serious this is and not a game they can play. Now they are afraid.

Trump has now claimed he is a "wartime president" and has therefore enacted the "Defense Production Act". As if corona wasn't scary enough already now the boy who called the outbreak a hoax has now found a way to use it to increase his powers.

1. Dunno
2. He's retired, at least he doesn't have any power now, so he's not scary.  Trump does.  Imagine postponing the election because of "crowds", for one.

Trump doesn't have the power.

Well what would you do?  Canadians don't have the power to turn them away on the US side of the border, or the power to send them back to the US once they're here.  They are arrested, and when they claim asylum, they're doing so from Canadian soil, so it has to be considered.

The peanut gallery ONLY talks about migrants ... once Trudeau is out of power they will shut up.
