Interesting Q&A with Toronto officials on CBC.

The big question is what to do with/about all these people who are breaking the social distancing rules.

They are threatening the ability of the city to continue reopening.

They are not states , there is a movement to make the District of Columbia a state . Not sure how much traction that gets .


I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be. It has a bigger population than about 2 states. One problem could be having a Fed. capital and a state capital in the same city.

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be. It has a bigger population than about 10 states. One problem could be having a Fed. capital and a state capital in the same city.
It would give the Democrats two more Senate seats and another House seat. That's the reason. And since it would require a Constitutional amendment, it ain't gonna happen.

81 cases in BC over the last three days. 300 in Alberta.

The reopening has failed - as it was always going to.

Wow 81 cases over three days , and once again we failed to protect the most vulnerable, two more deaths in long term care . Best for all to head for the hills .

Best for all just to follow the three SIMPLE rules laid down by Bonnie Henry. They are really NOT hard to follow & if everyone did this would all be over in a month. They should just throw the non compliers in jail for 90 days.

Republicans revolt against GOP's initial stimulus plan

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/28/politics/republican-reaction-gop-stimulus-plan/index.html

The republicans are staying to true to the same form that delivered no replace for the healthcare thing they had spent 8 years opposing. It was too much to ask them what they wanted.

Now Moscow Mitch has served up a covid stimulus package they even his own party can't approve of, let alone the democrats.

People are miffed about non covid things being tucked in there like a new FBI building for President Game Show Host.
