Did anyone here catch the news conference Trump held today (after there was a shooting outside the WH grounds) where he said that the Spanish Flu probably ended the second World War? Yeah he said it, I turned to my husband and asked if I heard correctly, and yep, I did. Trump said that the Spanish Flu probably ended the second World War because all the soldiers were sick. And lets not forget that earlier in the week he referred to Thailand as thigh-land and Yosemite as yo-semite.

Seriously? Biden isn't mentally for for office? Come on!

Oh and Walter, before you say it's fake news, I suggest you hit the link. In it you will find video of Trump making the comment. We wouldn't want a repeat of "Reagan never said he supported repealing the 22nd amendment" now would we?
Saw it too.(and HEARD it)....That so called press conference has to be one of his worst . His disjointed rambling is getting worse too.

Wonder how he will use that shooting event to his advantage....

The boy needs help! (and we should probably quit paying attention to him)

the problem is a) he won't get help
and B) he makes sure he makes the news.... and c) he is a remarkable case study in psychology.;-)

You, and the rest of the Canadians on here, do realize that your opinions mean nothing when it comes to who is or will be the leader of another country. Your "attention" isnt even noticed, as it means nothing. It's so much hot air going into the ether.

It seems many people just aren't getting the picture yet! What needs to be done? Knock them upside the head with a piece of 2 X 4? :)
Yes 45 per day , this plague is spreading exponentially.

That is one idea....;-) or establish fines for not wearing masks......for eg. with the money going to more equipment for " front line" workers./ and or research for a vaccine.

I am think;ing of writing: "where is YOUR mask??" on MY mask.;-)
Good for you , keep breathing stale air , it must be healthy .

Are masks mandatory in indoor establishments in BC?

They made them mandatory in Calgary and Edmonton.
No . Not mandatory , it is on B.C. Ferries if leaving your vehicle , and Transit is requiring masks starting later this month .

Okay, thanks for taking the bait as I knew you would. Now, show your work. Prove what and where these schemes of yours are.

I live in a world where I like for everyone to have a right to vote, what world is it that you live in?
I live in a world where on voting day I report to the polling place with my Identification and cast my vote . Once only . It has been thus since my first opportunity in about 1970 , It has worked fairly in most instances during that time . I see no reason to change .

Good for you . I would like to live in a country where only legal citizens have the privilege and responsibility to vote .

Of course, it just falls under the heading of banter.

I doubt we will see a significant drop in numbers here in BC until the winter winds and snow drive people back indoors as has been amply proven some people just don't give a shit, JLM. I earnestly hope I am proven wrong.
Yea we have killed large parts of our collective economy for 200 deaths over six months . If you weren’t already in the hills I would tell you to head there .

I find it funny to hear the mask wearing judging non wearing.

Why arent you at home? A mask isnt a wander around ticket strapped to your face.

I just give the mask-less a very wide berth, OB. Mind you, I might very well give them a very nasty look. :p
You would look like a juiceless peach here in the lower mainland with that attitude . Only 15 to 20 % of people are wearing masks .

Mask wearing was made mandatory here in Calgary but I have seen the odd person not wearing one while shopping. I am reluctant to judge because I don't know what their health situation may be that perhaps makes wearing a mask difficult, but I am bothered by it nonetheless.

I wear one as does my husband, it's a simple thing to do in order to slow the spread, even if it's just a bit.
Do you enjoy the stale air ?

Your friends in the media should give Trump the same treatment they are giving the rioters . But no they get viewers keeping Trump on page one . Why do they hide the riots , Biden , 21 Black people being massacred And focus on Trump ?

His ramblings are becoming more desperate and repetitive to say the least. If he can use the shooting to his advantage, I have no doubt that he will. What were once White House briefings are now mini-rallies.
