  1. It's weird that the Right love Musk just because he makes Liberals mad. He's made his billions developing Electric cars.

      The right loves capitalism and making big money.

      Not so sure the left likes that. The first sign is, suspicion of the rich.

      It’s not really about making liberals mad.  It’s why.  Regardless, you’d think somebody making climate change a pressing issue would be supported by the left.

      Musk is a free speech absolutist, but really, it is very telling how the left doesn't want free speech.

  2. The All England Tennis Club has banned Russian and Belarussian players from Wimbeldon. The #1 Men's player in the world is Russian. Good for them.

      At least six thousand Russians have been arrested by Putin for peacefully protesting. Some of those arrests were Canadian style.

      They let them protest for 3 weeks, warned them to leave and then finally arrested then after giving them one more chance to leave peacefully?

      This is a Putin passion project. It serves little purpose for Russia other than taking control of Ukraine's resources. 

      This war should end with Russians storming the Kremlin and going Mussolini on Putin.

      I'm certain we are not being told everything. So it's best not to try and have absolute certainty about anything. We know little of the actual motives. It wasn't like Germany wasn't already addicted to Russian gas. So Vlad needs more? Perhaps.

      Perhaps not.

      The federal government negotiated with the pipeline blockade.  I don’t see much of a difference.  There has to be a way that you could come to some arrangement where the government doesn’t look like they’re capitulating, but that also addresses the main concern of most of the protesters.   All of this needs to happen behind the scenes .  Or should have been, but the government is a week behind, because they spent so much time name calling.

      What did the Feds give the FN protestors? 

      I think the Feds and the Provinces should relax restrictions ASAP, but not because people are blocking the border. It should be because it makes sense from a public health perspecting.

      Take those blinders off, Boges.  When the PM of Canada says, “Do we tolerate these people”, then Prime Minister discourse these days is a far cry from Mulroney.  Or even Harper or Martin.

      Sure they're not a panacea, but EV owners certainly don't feel the pain of rollercoaster gas prices. 

      Canada is the 4th largest producer of LNG. That's a fossil fuel that will be with us for awhile. We should be winding down oil production for gasoline.

      So where are the fully electric 18 wheelers that can be readily purchased today for a comparable price to their diesel counterparts? And do they have comparable range and recharging time?

      Boges, if you think electricity prices are not going to skyrocket at some point then you are  naive.

      For the record I never laughed at electric cars I just don't think they deserve any kind of taxpayer subsidy and they are not for everybody.

    4. OftenWrong

      So people should all go buy one then.

      They would but the price/ performance has issues. Finding chargers probably sucks, and takes a while. Plus you might need an electrician to add a line to your garage.

      Anyway car lots are empty.

      Preconditions place them at risk for many things. That’s why it’s reasonable to allow more exemptions.

      At the very least, persons with other illness should be monitored closely by their physicians.

      But family physicians arent really involved in this much, are they.

      I looked for something supporting this claim of pre-existing conditions.

      The closest I could find is this:

      "Other players have had myocarditis before coronavirus, Nagelsmann said, but noted it wasn't really relevant to the team how Davies contracted it or to how it would be treated."

      That's from the CBC. I could give you the full quote from the CBC but because I enjoy pissing off the right people I'll give you the full story from a right wing source:

      Quote

      Another day, another story about a soccer player being sidelined due to sudden-onset heart-related illness. 

      Continuing a disturbing trend of professional soccer players being pulled from games, Canadian star Alphonso Davies, who plays for Bayern Munich, is showing signs of an "inflammation of the heart muscle," according to CP24

      He is only 21 years old.

       

      Davies has been ruled out of Canada's three World Cup qualifiers set to take place in Janaury and February.

      His club manager, Julian Nagelsmann, has said that the problem was caught during a follow up COVID examination.

      “He'll sit out training until further notice. He won't be available, also in the coming weeks. The ultrasound shows this myocarditis isn't so dramatic but it's a sign of myocarditis. Still, it has to heal and that will definitely take some time,” the skipper commented.

      He didn't attribute the inflammation to Covid right away, stating: “There are different reasons, especially viral load or the flu, for instance, that can cause cardiac problems."

      "That occurred pre-corona to other players. Now the probability is higher if you combine corona and top athleticism, that might cause other problems. But that's not relevant for us right now. It's not relevant to the treatment. It doesn't matter if Alphonso Davies had this from the flu or Omicron-Delta or whatever. That's not really the decisive factor," he continued.

      “The situation is that it's absolutely awful, terrible. What can I say? A bad situation for us.”

      Davies has stopped training and is widely considered one of the best left backs in the world. 

      He is fully vaccinated and got his booster in December, reports says.

  20. The big issue with Omicron is that it's spreading so fast that testing infrastructure is being taxed. Someone with symptoms could wait several days before they know if they're positive or not. 

    1. Shady

      Someone with symptoms should probably assume they have it and stay home for a few days.  The incubation period is very short.

  21. I will concede the MSM should STOP freaking out about case totals. We knew these figures would go up, It's cold and flu season. Hospitalization has remained remarkably stable in Ontario.

      Yet Florida is still doing well, with similar coverage and twice the population. There must be more to it than vaccination rates.

      Michigan has been far more restrictive, while Florida has been permissive.

      The total number of infections to date for Michigan is 1.5 M, while Florida is at 3.8 M. That's a lot more people infected who may have acquired natural immunity.

      Can we connect the dots on that? Maybe, maybe not.

      It's also not freezing right now in Florida. 

      As opposed to the summertime where Florida is sweltering and people gather in Air Conditioned areas. That's when you see seasonal spikes in Southern States. 

  23. The killers of Ahmaud Arbery found guilty of murder. They chased him down in a truck because he ran through their neighbourhood. There's some justice in the US.

      There’s generally always justice.  Justice isn’t always a decision you agree with.  I’m tired of hearing that claim today.  It’s absurd.
