What, in your words, is the difference between an "order" and a "directive"? The latter is Comey's word.

Comey:  I will lie for Lynch, but not for Trump.

I guess you misinterpreted it, Lynch asked him to lie and adopt the word "matter"

43% more ice in Antarctic since 1980. Thwaites is safe. http://nsidc.org/data/search/#keywords=ice+sheets/sortKeys=score,,desc/facetFilters=%7B%7D/pageNumber=1/itemsPerPage=25

I already explained to you how that works didn't I? GW causes more precip. leading to less salt surface water which increases the freeze temp, so therefore more surface (shallow) ice. Anyway Thwaites is not safe according to actual scientists. The warmer surface temp along with increased sea level "greases the wheels" under it. One way or the other it's heading north. 

Wow. So if it gets  warm then it'll get cold?  And actual scientists say you're wrong,  as I've cited.

We know who needs setting straight. Keep reading though, you'll get it eventually. Maybe.

Your multiple personalities are showing, Sybil.

Much more interesting than one old boring one

What do you imagine war with China to be like?

You don't have a clue.

But suffice to say they've been at war with the West since they attacked us in Korea.

I suspect it would be WW3. 

So I guess they can continue to de-stabilize Western Economies through disease all they want. 

They're the ones that buy up all the Debt anyway. 

China was once a close friend of the West...Nationalist China, that is. Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Kuomintang...etc.

The Allies flew supplies over the Himalayas and fought hard on the ground the the Burma Theater...together with the Chinese. The Flying Tigers, Chindits and such...all that legend stuff resulted.  

During WW2, the Communists under Mao refused to fight the Japanese for the most part...preferring instead to use their Allied given supplies to attack the Nationalists. 

Today, Nationalist China has been reduced to Taiwan.

THAT is what we should encourage for China...dump the bloody Reds.

 

Regardless, it doesn’t matter if herd immunity is achieved in the fall vs late spring.  Enough people will have been vaccinated or have immunity from being previously infected to result in low level case rates and even lower level death and hospitalization.  This story is just more panic porn.

But are enough people going to get vaccinated? Seems the rate is levelling off in the US. 

I think the variants will play a factor in how effective previous infections protects one. 

Up until recently it was agreed upon that most young people will handle COVID-19 rather well, in most cases. Variants have blown that theory out of the water. 

That doesn’t seem to be working as well as we thought.

Because people aren't getting vaccinated.

Back to the beginning of the thread. Alabama has no ICU capacity. Not because their supply is lacking, but because their vaccination rate is embarrassingly low. 

The solution isn't to hire more nurses, while droves are quitting. It's to get people vaccinated. 

It’s people’s right to not get vaccinated if they choose.  Why would you risk shutting down society over and over, destroying children’s school years to make a political point?  Train more nurses so that they don’t get burned out.  There should have been a federal program a year ago.

OK...but "grabbing p****" audio is not one of the possible charges.

You have nothing there...better try harder.

Someone who supports an admitted sexual assaulter is not someone I want to waste time conversing with. ta ta.

Buh-Bye....

The Stephen Harper International Terminal has a nice ring to it and they could just use the acronym for short.

The Saskatoon airport was named after that other rarity, a Western PM. Diefenbaker.

But lets pile on the hatred for Harper.

There was a Canadian study recently that said most people that died of covid were highly likely to have died sometime that year regardless of covid.

You mean your True North study analyzing stats from 2020?

Again, it doesn't take into account variants and the worst case counts seen during the pandemic this Spring

Because younger people were getting sick, the death-rate was less, but it didn't mean Hospitalization wasn't skyrocketing. 

This is why lockdown measures were required! You didn't do anything to stem the infection death rates would have skyrocketed. Hospitals would have had to triage people and unplug those they thought may not survive. 

Like seen in the US in the winter, before they got the vaccine. 

Lockdowns were a preventative measure, and they worked. 

Another reason death in Canada was less than a country like the US, was because public safety measures stayed in place for most of the pandemic. 

And they still are in place. 

The US lowered their guard before reaching a good vaccination rate and now there are parts of the US back to where they started. 

Yes, as cases continue to decline rapidly, many will forgo the vaccine for now.  Also, politicians like to set goals the can easily meet, and then claim success.  This is really a non-story.

"Canada probably won't reach herd immunity against COVID-19 anytime soon" (if ever)....no kidding.

From your citation (which is just an opinion column): 

Quote

In the United States, vaccine hesitancy is increasingly seen as a major and perhaps permanent barrier to herd immunity. The vaccine rollout south of the border got off to a fast start but has been slowing as time goes on and the supply of doses starts to outpace demand.

 

Hehe

Hehe

Do you know who also enjoyed 4/20? HITLER!!!!

lol, you expected more from him?

this is what some of our..ah, more traditional people do with their unwanted catch.

BTW the shooting was likely a mob hit.

what caused Hurricane Sandy to head back away from it's initial turn to open ocean? Try hard - reach a bit, hey!

Dunno the Gulf Stream.

hey Boges... I thought you said you had no position!!! :-)

Brazil...France...Germany...

Brazil is not a first world country and Germany and France have less deaths per capita.

Social media deleting.  Trumpers start the bawing!   

Anything to get away from Michelle Obama's lie!

So again quibbling about Michelle Obama completely distracts from the fact that Trump told a bold face lie about the COVID-19 infection rate in New Zealand. I guess that's the tried and true tactic. 

Also note, the article referenced said the claim was misleading. Not a lie. 

So who's the liar? 

Too much Sharkman.... too much...

Then go to AA and get help.

Back to the guy that died, his name was Chris and he had a show with his live partner Steven and Chris was the comic of the two and mostly women were the supports of the show on CBC. Chris was a really nice person, born in TO but moved to Nfld. Sad to hear he's gone. but came back to Toronto.

So that's one Hospital postponing 7 surgeries. Not an entire province cancelling them all until further notice. 

Hahaha, that's cute that you think it's just one hospital, one time, in one province that ever cancelled surgeries during flu season.  You are a special kind of willfully blind.

It’s a religion to these people.  They’re ignorant because the media doesn’t broadcast flu season problems on a daily basis like they do with covid.

Yes, Democrats technically control all of congress.  But with razor thin margins.  No, he won’t be able to make D.C. a state.  Red state democrats in the senate have already insisted they will not be supporting anything radical.

How is that radical? DC is larger than many states. 

Controlling the Senate is huge. McConnell obstructed many bills.  This sheltered his caucus from voting on many things. Now they'll have to at least put their names to things like COVID-19 Stimulus. 

Take it up with the red state Democrats in the senate who aren’t on board with D.C. statehood.  It’s unconstitutional.  It’s never going to see the light of day in a 50/50 senate, and only a 4 seat margin in the house.  I have no idea why you think that’s a good idea anyways.  Other than for senate packing purposes.  Which is disgusting and anti-democratic.  Once again, you’re a complete hypocrite.

No, you fight mask mandates and lockdowns and vaccine passports and laws against shooting people in the face.

No I don’t fight mask mandates.  I do fight lockdowns because they’re destructive, especially to children.  Anyone that really cares about children would recognize that.

What about when Manitoba's ICUs are full and you're whining about them sending patients to Ontario? Only people who hate children would call for restrictions on indoor gatherings in that situation?

She backed off on a Transit Tax to win the election.

Budget is coming up soon. There wil be a tax hike

"Sweden met their Kyoto targets in large part with a carbon tax." A bigger part was shutting down smokestack industries that were no profitable anymore. Easy peasy.

If climate change was an urgent issue, leftists would/should be organizing sanctions and tariffs on Chinese goods to force them to act sooner than 2030.  Until then STFU.  Canada shouldn’t be subsidizing China’s refusal to act.  We’ve done more than enough.  

All the while China is becoming a world leader in Battery production and EV adoption. 

If we just wait until China stops building Coal fired plants to innovate to where the Green economy is headed, we'll have to buy all our Batteries from China anyway. 

I'm all for preparing for EVs but I don't see Canada doing much other than subsidizing the purchase of them. Who's building battery plants except Americans?
