Trudeau taps famous Canadians to convince people to stay home and #PlankTheCurve

“Every day someone asks me how long these restrictions will be in place. And the truth is, we don’t know yet. But here’s what we do know. The duration of this crisis will be determined by the choices we make right now, by decisions we take every single day. So if you want to things to get back to normal, do your part…stay home. If people do not follow these guidelines, we will put much more stringent measures in place.”

This after pictures on media showed Canadians still gathering in crowds and not practicing isolation.

If that’s not enough to convince people to stay home, Trudeau also started a Twitter campaign tagging famous Canadians Michael Buble and Ryan Reynolds. Both celebrities immediately responded, with Reynolds even poking fun at fellow celebrities.

I know how lucky I am to have the ability to stay home and that it’s not as simple for everyone, but together we can #PlankTheCurve. Please, if you can, if at all possible, stay home. It will save lives. I nominate @jannarden @justinbieber and @cmcdavid97
