You might be seeing it, but it is more the result of listening to my kids and friends who are medical professionals and scientists.
Sounds like they have some common sense, it's not rocket science. You use or lose it.
I think one of the problems with trying to cure the sniffles is the bug only needs to mutate slightly to work around the cure. So then we attack that bug and again it mutates and so on. Meanwhile our immune system is not being challenged and as a result it's not evolving to fight the new bugs.
Bring in the quest for profit and the situation gets even more complicated, now we don't want to kill all the "bad" bugs as it'll also kill our income source. This may not be the case but it is possible...
COVID is only another organism on this planet that's trying to survive and multiply, it's no different then all the other creatures here. Just as the planet is our host, we are COVID's and millions of other viruses and bacteria's host. One thing we should take from this is when we die we are no longer a viable host to COVID, if we kill our habitat it won't be a viable host for us.

Still, use of vaccines on less-than-extreme diseases can not only compromise individual immune systems (that would normally develop natural immunity) but herd health is similarly sliding due to the preservation within the gene pool of material that would normally not be reproduced as illness would have cleared it from the mix. The same could be said of many other acts of medical kindness and hygene (over use of anti-microbial soaps and liquids).
I am not an anti-vaxxer, but when it comes to influenza, unless we become immunocompromised, I am not planning on vaccination for flu. Polio, shingles and Wuhan Virus - different deal.
I see wisdom in this post.

Sorry. Quebec says no.
Well, Quebec can continue importing at world prices. The east has Newfoundland oil and the west has Alberta and Saskatchewan oil, I don't see a problem. While we are at it we can drop crude related transfer payments.

For the most part we are on the same page, I think our trade should be diversified, to limit the effects of trade wars or fits like the one Saudi threw, or china when ever it suits them, I also think most of our foreign investment is coming from china, that should stop, we should take a page off the Australians and start looking else where to trade with, or purchase cheap Chinese goods.
I predict that once Biden is in the house that Huawei is going to stop being an issue, i just hope we take learn for this whole experience and take steps to prevent it from happening again. I also hope china releases the Michaels, and we learn from that issue as well and take some action to minimize any more political prisoners.
As for the oil we burn Saudi oil for the most part, which does not make any sense at all, when we could be burning Alberta oil that is cheaper, and supports BUY Canadian. our entire country should burn Alberta's oil. And it needs to be processed here in Canada, not the US.
There should be no question on the oil, importing oil into Canada is so stupid.
The Micheals should know the risks they were taking, everybody knows China is not a particularly safe place to visit. Maybe this is cruel to some people but they placed a bet and they lost, it's not my problem. Maybe we can trade Trudeau for them?

Sending her home would be surrendering. And the Huawei mess is just one aspect of the problematic relationship we have with China and the US. China sees itself as an ascending world power. It has no respect for anyone else, and is throwing elbows everywhere. It wants what it wants, and anyone who doesn't give it to them is to be punished. Same goes for anyone who says anything they don't like. Canada experienced this sort of thing before Huawei, with China coming up with pretexts to punish us for this and that, including banning canola imports every now and then. Australia is feeling that now. It has had the temerity to impose severe new laws impeding foreign influence in its politics, for example. And it dared to call for an international investigation into the origins of the Covid19 disease. Of course, they have a free trade agreement with China, but China's word has never been worth anything, so they simply come up with a pretext to cut imports of beef and wine and such to punish Australia.
It is not possible to have a relationship of any kind with China unless you're firm up front, or they'll walk all over you. And that's what they're doing to us now, with spies all over our country and China having control of all Chinese language news media in Canada, and threatening their expatriates here if they don't tow the Communist party line. All while we cower and say nothing.
Then send her to the states... China can go pound sand.
What I'm saying is Canada as a country should not be so dependent on other countries. We have so much potential, I can't believe I'm the only one that sees it. Other countries should be begging us to do business, not the other way around.

Canada has a role to play on the world stage, and important role, you just don't see it, We have earned a reputation for taking action when needed, taking the lead on programs and policies that the big boys see as petty or small , like the invention of peace keeping, humanitarian missions, contributions around the world to fight hunger and peace... but it is being eroded by Justin with his grand speeches in the UN making promises he knew he could not keep, WERE BACK, just like the one he has given at NATO/ NORAD conferences promising the moon signing of a agreement that states we will spend 2 % of GDP on our military, He has also put other alliances at risk such as CANZUK most of the common wealth countries and the USA.
I may not seem important to you, but Justin has not grown that world reputation earned by others , he is eroding it slowly.
And your right his socks are just one more thing to hate about this guy, but thats my problem not yours.
Yes you are correct for those contributions and I suppose Canada should continue.
I do think Canada should be less dependent on trade and foreign investment. I don't like it when politicians say Canada is for sale. As more and more of our resources come under foreign control we become more dependent on these entities and have to bow to their demands. Amazon not paying taxes for one and I bet most of their profit is leaving Canada. I bet low oil and high fuel prices are benefiting multinational oil companies far more then US, at this rate we'd be farther ahead leaving our oil in the ground. With all our resources we shouldn't be a country so deep in debt.
We are stuck between China and the US with the Huawei fiasco, we have far more to lose than either of those two and we have nothing to do with it. Just think if could send her home or to the US and tell them to figure it out.

"While it’s not possible to say with certainty what will happen in the fall and winter, CDC believes it’s likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both be spreading. In this context, getting a flu vaccine will be more important than ever. CDC recommends that all people 6 months and older get a yearly flu vaccine."
One has to wonder if getting all these vaccinations is healthy, isn't that at least part of the cause of superbugs in hospitals? Minor illness helps maintain a strong immune system? I'm no CDC expert...

Just in the elderly, so,
It still needs to get to them, stop COVID = stop the flu. Am I wrong?

Lol. There's no flu this year because of all the C19 precautions, but Canadians aren't taking enough C19 precautions so C19 is everywhere.....
True, society is just a bunch of children that need to be told, then forced to do the right thing.
Love www.amazon.com/vaccines, that is funny

That's opinion based on feelings, not supported by fact. JT is not a great leader and he's accomplished little of note that I can see, but that could be said of many leaders. Yes, there've been scandals, just like there've been scandals for virtually every PM that I can remember. He's pretty average, really, but he's not a disaster by any stretch.
That's what I've been trying to tell him...
I'd say Trudeau's scandals are above average by a fair margin. One doesn't need to pick on him personally, there's plenty on him as a politian. Calling him names is childish, we should be above that and his opposition should be above that.

Never mind the Covid,
Wheres the goddamn flu vaccine? We ordered 5 million doses and yet ran out at less than 1 M. Now Mr. Trudeau has to go to other countries, hat in hand, and plead for some more. As if.
Shouldn't need it, with all the COVID precautions the flu won't exist this year.

Yes, Trudeau is saving us from a zombie apocalypse. *rolls eyes*
LOL, somehow I doubt it, he's still a liberal.
It would be interesting if something about the vaccines did go sideways though.

I state judge the man on his current performance and you are all over him as a person. He's our prime minister, not our life partner.

And you didn't answer the question. If nothing I said was incorrect why are you taking offense? Do you have a man crush on Trudeau?

I don't doubt that he sees himself becoming the Secretary General of the UN one day (which would basically be a one-world government at that point), by the nearly-unanimous consent of the entire fawning planet. His delusions are boundless.
If he had to throw all of Canada under the bus to get there he'd do it in the blink of an eye, and he'd never spend a moment worrying his precious head about it. I wouldn't even be surprised if the CBC managed to convince half of this country that our own demise was the best thing that ever happened to us.
I'd like to think he's trying to do what's best for Canada but each day it seems what your saying is closer to reality.
There's definetly alot of lefties within the CBC all right, too bad. I think a public broadcaster is a good thing.

I did not stutter, I said that all Justins scandals, ethics breaches, breaking laws, broken promises, not to mention failed MP's who have fallen on their swords to protect Justin, none of that matters to other Liberal voters, they are blind to it.
The fact that he has a list of failed relations with other leaders of the world some of those leaders are close allied, the USA , Australia, to name a few... And do you honestly think the other world leaders think highly of him because of his socks, or the fact he loves to show them off.... do you think they take him seriously, when they mock him.
DO you think they take him seriously when he signs a NATO accord, then a couple days later in Canadian media says he has no intention of living up to spending the 2 % of GDP.... Not to mention Climate change, and all his promises to Canadians, and over the last 5 years what has he accomplished, sweet F**** all really , he pushed it down the road like everything he has promised...It is not just the world that I'm worried about, it is Canadians and if they don't care like yourself then it says something about your character, it says plenty on what it is to be Canadian.
Now it's his socks... You have such hatred for the person you can't see beyond his party choices and fashion sense. Maybe Value Village didn't have black socks that day, who gives a damn?
I'd hope world leaders would be mature enough not to notice or do you think they see it when they bow to his holiness. Here's a news flash, Canada is not that important on the world stage.
Your last paragraph is what should be addressed, that proves he is an incompetent leader. What we need now is someone who will run that addresses these issues and proposes solutions not Trudeau 2.0. I don't care what party he/she leads.

It's inevitable that we 'gave up something' in a trade deal. There's always some give and take in a trade deal.
Question is, did the PM benefit personally from something in that deal.
Yeah, we give they take. Someone needs to explain it's supposed to be beneficial for our side.
Maybe a vote for a seat in the United Nations? Isn't that what he's pining for?

Yes he is still the PM.... Thats part of the problem, you don't care what he is doing as the leader of this nation, how many scandals/ ethics breaches/breaking the law/ broken promises does it take for you and other to take notice... and it's good you don't care what the other world leaders think, i mean Justin socks are cute, but cute is not leadership... Canada does not have what it takes to be a world leader, nor do we have any leaders worthy of that undertaking. Atleast those in politics.
I don't care? Go back and read my previous posts...
Obviously you think he's doing such a great job today this is all you have on him.

Anti-maskers would lose in a landslide; only the moronic minority think masks are some kind of plot. Most people understand that masks help reduce the spread of Covid, that they aren't a cure or foolproof, and that its a small inconvenience to help protect "the vulnerable".
