I guess that's why they said assault "style" weapons, to get rid of the wannabe lookalikes. Makes sense to me. That's a testosterone binge itself for the "yahoos" spoiling for a fight for the rights of the far right and spitting mad with isolation anxiety. That's an immediate problem. And the increasing trendiness of assault "style" wannabe rifles is a problem in itself. If it looks like one, now you can be charged as if it is one? Just like replica handgun gets you an armed robbery charge. Makes sense to me.

Link pls?

We're not quarantined, never were except some returning travellers. We're isolating ... and distancing when we go out, where possible. You're ordering a mass quarantine by Sunday? That'll cause a huge shopping rush! Lol

From your (March 22) link: The 2020 Coronavirus has killed 396 (so far) out of a population of 333,546,000 or a little more than — 1 in a million Something wrong with those numbers. Right now the US death rate from COVID19 is 158 in a million, 55,413 deaths total. Sweden and Italy have higher death rates. Your links are either or both of inaccurate or wacko. Find some better data maybe. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

"Fearful" ... of Trump? Lol We're just amused by watching the train wreck. Why are you obsessed with us?

Well yes, some of Trump's supporters are stupid. He knows that. Right now he's saying "They love me! They really really LOVE me!" It's a sh!t show.

He's got his own voters poisoning themselves with disinfectant now. I guess he didn't think that through too well. https://www.newsweek.com/after-trumps-disinfectant-comments-calls-poison-control-centers-spike-new-york-michigan-1500294

If they can afford it they likely do. I wonder what an all Canadian-made government Market Basket would cost “to ensure that it reflects the up-to-date cost of a basket of goods and services representing a modest, basic standard of living in Canada”. That cost is supposed to be reflected in basic support amounts - welfare, disability, seniors' GIS, etc. We'd have to increase those supports somewhat. Intriguing concept that.

Here the spread is mostly associated with returning Canadians. I don't see how that can be resolved by travel bans.

Yes, there's a possibility. Six people were killed in the intervening time. Hindsight is 20-20, but I would say an Alert should have gone out after the initial attack, as soon as the RCMP realized that the shooter was not in the area they had locked down, but still on the loose, armed and dangerous, whereabouts unknown at that time. An intriguing/horrifying possibility exists in a single report that "a car" exited that initial attack site through a field. It may have looked like a police car, thus not drawn attention among the cruisers on site at that time.

Questioning WHO is certainly valid. Withdrawing funds does not help to improve WHO.

Right now it's the Libs & NDP that have power.

Shhhhh! We're trying to keep that quiet!

Mitigation? Like bleach injections? Distancing? The protesting idiots are not distancing. I don't really care whether the Trump idiots kill themselves, but putting other people in danger is the problem.

I hope they do go back to work ... with each other. I wonder if Trump will continue his aggressive and prolonged handshakes through the election campaign. Lol He's very miffed at this virus for stealing the limelight, would rather people just inject themselves with bleach and get over it. Like a true sociopath.

I agree. People would have stayed inside. I think cops were more focused on info to help catch him. May have been the wrong choice. MANY questions! Eg, Did the people at the party call the cops when he dragged his girlfriend out of there? Did any of them check on her? Were they used to just ignoring his abusive behaviour? Did they just stay and party until he came back and killed them all? Many questions, not all for the police but for those who knew him too.

I'm not defending it, just saying that was the RCMP rationale for not sending the alert. No doubt there will be counts of victims who died in the hour they delayed the alert, up until they killed him. The Alert would have described a vehicle that he was no longer driving.

NS has phone Alert, RCMP were slow in using it, apparently afraid they'd be swamped with calls and miss the important ones telling them where the shooter was shooting next. Not sure how that reasoning will play in hindsight. There was no wife/ex but an argument with longterm girlfriend at a party, took her home, tied her up. She escaped, hid in the bush and survived, and he started his rampage at the party they had left - killed them all, burned the house down ... and carried on from there. There were red flags with this guy, domestic violence, an assault, banned from firearms ... but who ever knows that someone would explode like this!

Lol You're a classic, Army Guy. And you certainly make my point: Conservatives sticking with old ideas that just don't work anymore.

Just not true, Argus. StatsCan does those follow up studies: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11f0019m/11f0019m2019007-eng.htm The numbers are quite reassuring: Though source of income is not addressed, it's clear to me that after 10 years, few refugee incomes remain in the range of public welfare benefits - ie, they are employed and self sufficient.

Trump's just campaigning, distracting his minions from his incompetence by giving them a bone to chew on. And no it doesn't change a thing for us in Canada. We can sloth around a while longer for the cause. Extended winter. Lol

Government has work to do maintaining health and safety of essential workers so supplies and services keep flowing. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/labour-shortages-emergency-food-power-1.5531583

Interesting ... In the leaked documents from the Ontario civil service in February, plans were revealed to privatize eHealth, laboratories, air ambulance, long-term care inspections and other services And this news today: Ford's wife's mother is in a longterm care facility where there are cases of COVID19.

Youth isn't really the solution for Conservative leadership. Anti-gay, anti-abortion, pro-oil and false 'trickle down' economics define the Conservative Party, including its youth. Andrew Scheer isn't old: He just has archaic ideas, like the Party itself, which has little relevance anymore outside of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Peter MacKay certainly isn't the solution, but a solution just doesn't exist in the CPC.

It may start to flatten by May if we're lucky, but to loosen up restrictions then is a recipe for another increase in COVID19 cases and deaths. I don't think May is realistic. Most large gatherings for July and August have already been cancelled.
