That's not true. I do not advocate for communism, but it is clear that a greater measure of equality is a must for our society to endure as anything other than a new aristocracy. We have a good system in Canada with our blend of free-market capitalism and social programs, we have just let...

I think Canada, with its mix of free market capitalism and social programs, is basically a good system. We have just let too much control fall into the hands of the corporate sector, something that started 1970ish with the adoption of neoliberal economic policies. The system is controlled by a...

After some quick investigating, I've found the above statement to be more than a little misleading. From the COP26 website: In summary the rules are: - everyone must be able to show evidence of pre-arrival COVID-19 negative test result - everyone must complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) -...

Just a thought, but if I was a Liberal party strategist I'd be looking to start grooming a replacement for JT right away. I have doubts that he'll make it through the next election. The CPC came close to taking power this time even with a nothing burger like at the helm, the Libs won't be so...

That's stupid. So much for leading by example.

Yes, COP26. I don't see how this is a concern, nobody ever listens to them anyways. It's been "business as usual" since they started barking at us fifty years ago, what could possibly go wrong now ?

Yeah, I get that. It's like trying to reason with zombies.

Your chances of contracting the virus are greater without a shot than with. Your chances of transmitting the virus are greater without a shot than with. Those with a shot have greater protection from the virus and less risk of transmission than those without. It's not higher math. Resisting...

Got any facts to the contrary ? The fact that in general, the huge majority of hospitalizations are unvaccinated people should be a really big clue.

There's the gaping hole in the anti-vax argument right there. All reputable evidence shows that restrictions and precautions, including vaccines, are reducing the transmission rates, and as such are reducing risk to all. While there is no shortage of "evidence" to the contrary, it doesn't...

Look, there's a very basic principle in play here, that the good of the many outweighs the good of the few.

Duh. The virus was brought in from outside of course, cases don't pop up out of nowhere. I expect situations like this will be even less common than they are now with unvaccinated staff and visitors being banned from entering long term care homes, along with a slew of other locations since the...

What's going on in Scotland ? Something to do with what we're talking about or more deflection ?

The vaccine is killing more than the disease now is it ? I'd like to read about that. From a credible source, of course, not offthefuckingdeeprightend.blog.

Godwin's Law in action.

Sure, and how many of those case were transmitted by unvaccinated people? You're choosing to ignore the main point, that vaccinating reduces risk. Just look at the differences in cases per capita between places with lower vax rates and those with higher vax rates. But then again, facts never...

Feeble attempt to deflect from the topic. I'm not biting. Tattoo the unvaccinated ? Now that's just plain stupid. To not vaccinate is a personal choice, and anybody has a right to make that choice, but to think that it comes without consequences isn't realistic. The name of the game is to...

But what are preotests if not an attempt to influence the choice of others? Make your decision and live with the results, easy peasy.

These weiners keep showing up around here too. Giving them media attention just legitimizes their position, better to ignore them. They're just the latest iteration of CAVE people (Citizens Against Virtually Everything).

Are they leaving entirely, or just being more selective as to where they invest ? I have a couple of Canadian Equity mutual funds and Suncor and CNRL have always been among their larger holdings. These are the two "big guns" in the oilsands toady, both were in a decent financial position when...
