Canada will extend federal income support by eight weeks for those who lost their jobs amid the COVID-19 outbreak, and the border with the United States will remain closed to non-essential travel, the prime minister said on Tuesday.

At a news conference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted that the 13 provinces and territories were gradually restarting their economies, but said the income support would still be needed. Unemployment in Canada hit a record high in May. The opposition New Democratic Party’s leader, Jagmeet Singh, had said he would not support a confidence vote in parliament on Wednesday if the CERB were not extended.

“This is what we were calling for in the short term,” Singh said about the extension. “We’ll keep working to make sure help is there for Canadians who need it in the long term.”

We can learn from Canada

How the fuck is the US border shut until July 21 if Air Canada is currently flying, from Canada, to the US & is adding more flights & more service to the US all through June & July? This country, Canada, is so fucked up. Doesn’t know if it’s shitting or pissing, coming or going.

It would be funny if Canada started to build a wall between the United States and Canada because the United States had out of control Covid19 spread.

Deep state puppet!

Kneeling Prime Minister, a shame for Canadians

Smart move by CanadianPM. Covid spikes here are ridiculous!

Trump suggests closing borders liberals call him racist, a liberal closed the borders and he’s a hero

Canada is more like America than America.

EulogyPhD speaking!

I don’t blame him at all for trying to protect his people. Please keep us all here in the US in your thoughts... 😢

See how a real president does it, Donald? It ain't that hard. Just listen to the scientists...oops. I forgot. You don't listen to anyone, do you...?

Well, I wouldn’t let us in either. We’re a friggin mess.

He is an extraordinary leader with C 19 pandamic

The Canadians are locking out the United States because the risk of infection is 1000x higher down south

What a racist. I’m surprised he doesn’t wear blackface.

This is what happens when the Prime Minister can be removed by a vote at any time. We need a system like this here in the US. It would create Accountability.

Leadership & Compassion. Wish the USA would do the same.

TrumpIsNotWell

Must be nice to have 8 more weeks of support. That extra $600 is running out in July👎

Don't see situation getting any better in 8 weeks
