  1. Clearly Trump and his followers should boycott Twitter and Facebook. That would be the ethical thing to do :)

      Be honest:

      Quote

      The campaign formally requested that CNN retract the poll and publish a "full, fair, and conspicuous retraction, apology, and clarification to correct its misleading conclusions."

      And they're right to request it. It's a ridiculous poll.

      Seems inline with current polling.

      From the article:

      To the extent we have received legal threats from political leaders in the past, they have typically come from countries like Venezuela or other regimes where there is little or no respect for a free and independent media.

      Imagine that!  Trump following the example of dictators!

  2. Has Wright said that Harper told him to pay Duffy that money yet?

      Harper and his Ministers said in the House that the PM had "no knowledge".

      Which was a bold faced lie.

  3. O'Toole was fully supportive of Jason Kenney's handling of COVID, which has led that province's Healthcare on the verge of collapse. I'm not sure I can support that kind of leadership.

      That's not true at all. I didn't vote for him in 2015 or 2019. 

      And if O'Toole does win, I won't be upset.

      The idea Trudeau cares about Covid, as opposed to 'saying the right things' is laughable. This is the government which failed utterly to prepare, threw away PPE gear, retasked the health units which were supposed to watch for pandemics, ignored the Chinese one, telling Canadians to go have fun on spring break, and didn't do a thing until Trudeau's wife caught it.

      They didn't even try to order PPE gear until the end of March, refused to close the borders, at first, then refused to institute health screening or quarantines. They made a secret deal with CHINA for vaccines, and when they finally realized months later that China was jerking them around floundered around the world throwing buckets of money at pharmaceutical companies to let us in line ahead of others. How much we'll probably never know as they made the costs state secrets. 

      They have shown little interest in fighting covid, and Trudeau's policy on vaccines was identical to O'Toole's up until the election, when he evidently felt he could make political hay out of pitting O'Toole as softer on vaccines than him. Thus he helped further politicize vaccines.

      Alberta performed well through most of Covid. It was only the fourth wave that hit them hard.

    4. Boges

      The 3rd wave hit them hard as well. 

  4. The last time the US has as many COVID-19 deaths as they recorded yesterday (Just shy of 2,200) was May 7th. 

    With Thanksgiving pending, those number are ready to skyrocket.

      I agree.  People have to do what they can, but realize that government can’t protect you better than you can protect yourself.  Businesses shouldn’t be closed.  In Los Angles, contact tracing showed that restaurants had bars accounted for only 3% of new cases.  It’s anti science to close them down.

    3. Boges

      Boges

      But that speaks to Canada, where mitigation is generally universal. 

      In the US people are denying any mitigation is required. And the numbers from the US are frightening. 

      This week's Thanksgiving Holiday is only going to make things exponentially worse. 

    4. Shady

      Shady

      Yep possibly.  That’s why pandemics are bad.  Luckily vaccines will be distributed soon.  Unfortunately in Canada we’re going to have to wait quite a while.

  5. Trump doesn't want mail-in ballots to be counted early, and if they're not counted by Midnight of November 3rd, they shouldn't count. 

    Who exactly wants to rig this election? 

  6. Canada is about to meet the 70% (of adults) with one-dose of the vaccine. A target Biden set for July 4th in the US.

    3. Shady

      Yes, lockdowns that didn’t need to take place had we not had to wait until April for any substantial quantities of vaccines.  Wasted months that were paying for now, while other countries have been back to almost normal.  Stop making excuses.

      Your petty outrage and my realism get us to the exact same spot. 

      It's not good enough to not support JT, you have the REALLY!!!! not support him and not be happy that things are getting back to normal because we should have been inline with the US even though they saw much more death leading to negligible economic advantages and WAY more debt.

      If, say a broadcaster, says something that a group find offensive. And they campaign to boycott the broadcaster's advertisers in an effort to get the network to fire them. How is that not cancel culture?

      “the picture provided by the study is imperfect: It could only capture those who reported symptoms, not those who didn’t”


      The study doesn’t say anything about who was selected.  Was it older sicker people vs healthier.  The fact is, depending on your health, covid will affect you very differently.  You Branch Covidians still refuse to accept that scientific fact.  And you still refuse to acknowledge natural immunity.  A scientific fact.  But then you pretend to rely on science.   You discount non peer reviewed studies because they go against your religion, but then post flawed non peer reviewed studies that support your zealotry.  You people need professional help.

      The political bias from these companies is quite clear. I notice even when using youtube to listen to music, the suggested videos on the right are intertwined every 3rd or fourth video with political clips that are complete condemnations of right wing "Trump Supporters", as the term has been coined.
