Based on factual record so far, I don't have much confidence in this country's health authorities. Over these 18 months they have proven themselves: 1. Lazy and inept at developing effective preventative measures (SARS, 2002; MERS, 2006 etc) 2. Dangerously careless ("travel from Wuhan"). Every spike in the statistics there's a hallelujah of expert' opinions to toughen and prolong quarantines but where were they in the beginning of this thing to make decisions based on risk and experience rather than words of other clueless bureaucrats (WHO)? 3. Clueless bordering on incompetent in management of the epidemics: multiple public communication failures, obviously meaningless and contradictory policies. 4. Arrogant and overconfident while repeatedly failing to achieve provable results. Add to that literally total absence of accountability and oversight and it's a dangerous mix. I would want to do as little as possible with this kind of environment. P.S. On the general background BC and some Eastern provinces stand out as a notch more sensible.

and then... Leftist logic is laughable. Sooooooo.... no vaccine mandate, and no forcing people to take vaccines, but unvaccinated people can't be around other people........ That's some really idiotic shit there Argus. If unvaxxed people can't be in society anymore, how is that any different from, say, forcing people to get the vaccine? ? If you got the vaccine, and you're so confident that the vaccine works, then why don't you just run around licking doorknobs and hugging rioters/looters? You're safe, right? Can you acknowledge that people got very sick, and even died, from taking the vaccine? Is it impossible for you to engage in an honest conversation? Can you acknowledge that some of the vaccines use technology that has never been approved by the FDA, and no one knows the long-term effects of them, and some of the vaccines apparently don't work, like the ones that Trudeau tried to order initially? Some people don't want to take a chance at dying, just to be used as lab rats and for a chance at improving their chance of survival from 99.98% to 99.99%. That's understandable. Honestly, the best reason for taking the jab is if you're a conspiracy theorist, and you feel like the next commie plot to eliminate dissidents revolves around vaccinating the sheep and then killing the people who don't blindly gobble up propaganda. We put up with your idiotic lockdowns (and just trust me if you don't understand me, covid lockdowns and protocols were handled with the utmost stupidity), now that you have your precious vaxx you need to simmer down and carry on.

If it means cancelling surgeries and shutting down indoor public gatherings that don't involve buying food, they certainly will. You're essentially protecting the unvaccinated from themselves. It's too late to "Come to Jesus" when you're dying in an ICU. https://www.heraldsun.com/news/coronavirus/article253247308.html

We need a federal one. I doubt provinces like Ontario or Alberta will issue one.

Everyone who ever lived, died. I did some research...

I can remember when the communists tried to have America become metric back when Ronald Reagan was President. And I remember well Reagan saying that there will be not metric for America. His last words on metric were "metric, you have walked your last kilometer". ?

You claim that more people were infected than were confirmed but reject the idea that more people could have also died than were confirmed As I said, a number that came out of your ass.

Other countries don't seem to have the same thought that once a PM loses they're out of politics for good. We've seen former PMs and presidents come back to run and win again. Why not in Canada? I mean, it's O'Toole's to win or lose and I expect him to lose. But after he loses why not replace him with Harper? Who else do they have who is likely to be as capable?

I know. There is no way to do it. Have tried myself many times. In fact everything is falling apart and decaying all around us all the time. That is what I do for a living, I am an entropy fighter. We wear a logo on our backs- Born to Lose, Live to Win But in fact we are deluded dreamers, we never win. The banks must always win. It is written into the very fabric of society. But if the banks ever do not win? Oye vato, you better get the motherin heck outta here...

The Conference Board of Canada says 70% of Canadian households are TWO missed pay periods away from a slide they wouldn't be able to stop. $100,000. pick-ups are not normal. Nor is an $8.00 head of lettuce in Winfield, Alberta.
