Since there was really only two before him that is not saying much. One had to leave before the end of term because of total incompetence and his replacement was more interested in giving our money to his native country than looking after BC.

Strange, I can think of 5 before him, starting with Dave Barrett.

In Russia they are using firewater as the cure . If the virus doesn’t kill you cirrhosis of the liver will .






Oh.................sorry ............I think you have that made an incorrect statement there!


Cirrhosis of the liver is a SLOW DEATH! People who get a serious Wuhan Virus infection seem to expire in DAYS!



Perhaps you would do better to suggest that drunk people will simply not care so much about the Wuhan threat?

The fact that B.C. LIE-berals do not have the power to really influence things in Ontariowe DOES NOT MAKE THEM


ANY LESS LIE-beral!


If you think otherwise then you are more delusional than I had previously estimated!

You never learn, do you? You just keep falling into the trap every time...

Coronavirus: Can smoking protect against COVID-19? Shocking study supports claim

CORONAVIRUS complications include pneumonia - an infection in the lungs. Smoking is known to be damaging to the same organ, but research points towards smoking as having some protective measures against COVID-19.

Coronavirus is a respiratory illness that can badly affect the lungs. Smoking is harmful in every way possible, but new research says the bad habit may protect people from COVID-19.

Leading infectious disease expert at University College London, Professor Francois Balloux, said there is "bizarrely strong" evidence for the claim.

One study by America's Centers for Disease Control (CDC) examined over 7,000 people who tested positive for COVID-19.

Surprisingly, only 1.3 percent of them were smokers, compared to the CDC report that 14 percent of all Americans smoke.

Chinese studies have shown that the majority of COVID-19 patients were non-smokers.

Researchers from New York University, and the University of West Attica in Greece, analysed 13 Chinese reports.

Across the whole sample of 5,300 patients, only 6.5 percent were smokers.

"This preliminary analysis does not support the argument that current smoking is a risk factor for hospitalisation for COVID-19," the researchers began.

"Instead, these consistent observations, which are further emphasised by the low prevalence of current smoking among COVID-19 patients in the US (1.3 per cent), raises the hypothesis that nicotine may have beneficial effects on COVID-19."

Is that the hill you're standing on?

That mess of a site that provides no link to the study.

The study that doesn't exist.

Reminds me of this.

Christ are you ever brain dead, and by your definition, that makes you a liberal. Probably why you dont want to do any digging into the bc liberal party.

I REFUSE TO DIG INTO A CESSPOOL EITHER!



That does not make me ignorant of the nature of your SH+T!


It is brain dead of YOU to think that you can persuade us that you can separate a provincial party and a federal party


that SHARE SO MANY BELIEFS AND VALUES !


And oh yes- I KNOW that B.C. LIE-berals retain their hate of Kinder Morgan pipeline while federal LIE-berals back away from their



former hard line position!


But that is nothing but POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY AT WORK!


B.C. LIE-berals RETAIN their HATE for fossil fuel because it WILL NOT cost them any votes!


While Our idiot Boy and his federal LIE-beral losers have discovered that THEY MUST pay lip service to our NEED for fossil fuel


and MUST THEREFORE take action to end radical native blockades- or else face a national revolution that will KILL the career


of Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals!



That is called HYPOCRISY!


Hypocrisy is a MUCH LOVED LIE-beral solution to thorny political problems!



Consider Mike Harris who ENRAGED our civil service union HOGS by FREEZING their wages as a result of the MASSIVE DEBTS



left behind by Bob Rae and his LIE-beral style idiot cousins!



By comparison Harris WAS A PUSSYCAT compared to his B.C. LIE-beral counter parts who TORE UP AND RE-WROTE



HOG CONTRACTS! Yet it is Harris the HOGS REMEMBER AND HATE!


But LIE-berals are FORGIVEN! Because ALWAYS HYPOCRITICAL LIE-berals have REPENTED of their frugal ways!


Consider our recent Ontari-owe LIE-beral premiers - first Dalton McGinty and then Wynne-bag!


Ontari-owe debt was rising SO FAST it was even scaring LIE-berals such as former FEDERAL LIE-beral FINANCE MINISTER



John Manley who spoke against the Ontari-owe tax and spend madness!


And the HOGS were SO OUTRAGED at McGinty FEEBLE ATTEMPTS at penny pinching that they DROVE HIM FROM OFFICE!


Wynne-bag replaced McGinty and HER FIRST ACTION was to assure teacher HOGS that "She would do whatever was necessary



to win back your trust"! And Wynn-bag was SERIOUS about that! So much so that she became the MOST HATED PREMIER



IN CDN HISTORY! And in her efforts to BUY THE LOVE of Ontari-owe HOGS - she turned Ontari-owe into the MOST DEEPLY



INDEBTED province or state on the planet!


Such is the true spirit OF ANY LIE-beral - that they sincerely believe they CAN BUY A MAJORITY GOVT!


If only they can BORROW ENOUGH BRIBE MONEY!


It DID NOT WORK for Wynne-bag; it did not work for the idiot cousin Notley and it did not work for Our idiot Boy who is struggling to



hang on to his MINORITY MESS!

Really when you have lost the battle it is best to retreat and regroup . At times despite all the valour it is best to stop shoveling and scram .

Well if corona doesn’t get me smoking will . Good to know . Something will that is sure .

Smoking is harmful certainly.
But what has been observed of the relation between smoking and little number and mild cases of Coronavirus may be because of the hot smoke; i.e. the heat of the smoke inhaled (or ingested) may kill or weaken the virus.

So if one drinks hot drinks like tea or hot milk ..etc. he may have better outcome than the smoker.

In our community, many of the public are enthusiastic about the tea drinking :lol: , and they drink it hot even in summer, and when the tea is cold, they disgust it.

In the market place, where they work or they pass by, there are many tea sellers, and some people almost every hour or so or when they feel tired or dizzy, they call for a cup of hot tea.


(( Of course not now: now it is the Ramadan month fasting, except for the ungodly men and they are so numerous, but most of tea sellers stop selling tea unless at night))

Now the temperature is 32 degrees centigrade at post-midday; so I expect that this virus may disappear.
God is the All-Knowing.
