  1. Question is what's the common denominator. Is it skin colour or poverty. I say the latter, but one skin colour dominates among the poor, and that's why it seems to be skin.
  2. Prior to Covid the average number of flu deaths in Canada was around 5,000 per year. This is from memory, if you're interested go look it up. As with Covid, the vast majority of these deaths occurred in old age homes. Now you know.
  3. "Government has no business in the dressing rooms of Canadians."

      This applies to hockey. People are being ordered to cover up and not show their nakedness in the dressing room. They cannot use the shower either unless wearing clothing, like a bathing suit. 

      It's the solution given by Hockey Canada to complaints that tranny men who join women's sports are showing their full junk to WOMEN in the change rooms and shower.

  4. That's alright, I accept your apology. Language skills, an stuff. Consider yourself "forum citizen moderated".
  5. I guess you weren't going to church that morning.
  6. This is not the issue. Let them do what needs to be done in an emergency, and make changes to the system as needed to meet these new demands. Covid 19, 2019. It's 2023 now. Four years and no better ideas. The hospitals are full 90-100% on any given day, and not even due to Covid. That is the issue.
  7. My town was among the first built in Canada, and the hospital goes back to 1835. Please develop the proper infrastructure.
  8. I don't lie, though can be mistaken. Are smaller towns urban? My city has 100k. When do we qualify for the big-city health care you say is doing so well for Canadians.
  9. The use of emergency exemption and forcing the public to accept that unknown is the key concern to me. But also the social impact of the shutdown, which we were totally unprepared for and still are now. I understand we may need to buy time in an emergency, what I want to see though is moving towards the approved and vetted safety protocols as soon as possible, and come up with the resources to keep the country alive. Emergency money to pay for those resourced, not perpetual mandates to stay home.
  10. Canada is mostly rural areas, and most Canadians live in them. If you add up the population of a few big cities in each province, it's slightly less than half the total population. Besides, the points you raised are hard ti justify given the hospital WAS able to operate with the additional 600 beds back 22 years ago, when the population was smaller. So don't you come in here touting your big-cities are great bullshit, boy.
  11. Early morning robbery in Parkdale sends man to hospital with stab wounds There was a stabbing in Parkdale just recently. I remember, I have a memory.
  12. Moral relativism Toronto has become a shithole The rest of the world an even greater shithole Therefore "Best place to live"... Gives yourselves a pat on the shoulder Just don't go on the subway or out at night
  13. Any opportunity to land a jab in on that slippery snake is a good one. You know when they shut up they have had enough and when they goeth away, their bruises will give them new wisdom to ruminate over.
  14. In my city they've cut a total of 600 beds since we moved here. That was 22 years ago. We sure could'a used those. Population's gone up of course. Meanwhile there's a sever shortage of family doctors here. The waiting list to get one was two years, now it's even more. As you know in Canada's failed health care system the only way to get into the system for treatment is a GP, or go to the ER room. There were three walk-in clinics here before, now there is one. That's why the ER is totally overloaded most of the time. When I was there recently they told us minimum 8 hour wait to be seen. Minimum... do you people get that? Sit there for 8 hours with a broken rib. This was at 8 pm at night. That means we wouldn't be seen until 4 AM, minimum. Then you go into the ER and sit there on a stretcher for an hour until a doctor even looks at you. That is our experience and it is a consistent one. If you don't use the health care system you wont know. They don't broadcast these things.
  15. I should solve the problem now? It's easy to criticize (and fair, because we need to) but it takes experts to come up with workable solutions. My concerns are to always protect the weakest and most vulnerable, people who get swept under the rug by the mighty broom of progress. lol Anyone with terminal disease should be given this option, because at the end it can be an unpleaseant way to go. Most are generally put under in a coma, until they pass so it's the same thing anyway. I say when the outcome is determined, which is a legal term, then clearly the option should be there. For these people MAID should be allowed. It's the humane thing to do when they reach a point where there is nothing left for them but suffering and inevitable death. Given we have technology today to keep people alive on life support, this is not natural either. Without that intervention they would pass, but if we provide it, even beyond the state where they would not want to live anymore because of their condition, what are we achieving? Shut off the machine and let nature take its course. Help them to be comfortable. To me the administration of lethal drugs is fine under those conditions. And for any holy rollers out there, I say mankind has the right to protest to their god, and take their own way out.
  16. Being is not becoming. Being is a state of being. Had you said Don't become one, it's unambiguous. Saying don't be a chud implies the person was one, as in the word be. Why thank you, I am heartened by this fact. Yes I do have certain failings, hence moniker. But it's so hard to get to your level. Which reminds me I always wanted to ask, when did you stop being a chud?
  17. Trump uses bronzer? Ha, you guys are lucky. We got old PM-Blackface here to lord over us. How's that for a bronzer.
  18. Remembering when...

    They gave Obama a Nobel peace prize at the beginning of his presidency, for the peace he would bring. He had not done anything yet to deserve it. In fact he never did.

    Politics much? ...

    It was at that point I lost all respect for whatever the Nobel committee decided.

  19. That's nice that you think the mob are intelligent enough to have a will of their own. Blessed is our democracy. Now pick one from column A, one from column B.
  20. Totally with you on that observation. But we live in a time when absurdity is unchallenged and people wholeheartedly accept government lies.
