  1. Suburban Toronto is the most powerful region in the country. No party can win power without its support.

      This makes sense, since it is the mostly densely populated place in Canada.

      Cities are actually under-represented on average based on population per riding than more rural areas.  

  2. 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.

      The 3rd wave hit them hard as well. 

  3. I can't imagine how expensive it will be to transfer critically ill COVID patients from Alberta to Ontario. All because Alberta put its head in the sand on the threat of COVID.

  4. The SINGLE study that suggests Natural Immunity is "13 times" more effective than Vaccination is: 

    1) Not definitive
    2) Not Peer Reviewed
    3) Indicates that Natural Immunity and Vaccination combined is still a good idea.

      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?

      I'd rather not lockdown again. So I'd prefer unvaxxed people stay out of large indoor gatherings where masking is impractical. 

      The unvaxxed are the ones making a choice. 

  9. Good News for Ontario AntiVaxxers. The Vaccine Passport will only really be applicable in places where people congregate indoors without masks. So effectively Gyms, Movie Theatres and Indoor dining.

    Retail will be exempt. Obviously private businesses can choose to implement it if they want. As seen with Pro Sports in the Province.

      So doesn’t that mean those places won’t be shut down?

      I have no idea why the crazy ass anti-vaxxers are so angry at Trudeau but I'm pretty sure they have nothing to do with the Tory party other than an occasional volunteer joining them. I would guess most of them are going to vote for the PPC. If you are a crazy anti-vaxxer Max is your boy.

    “The authors claimed they conducted the study between the 8th of June and 20th of September 2020, however most of the patients who died were admitted into hospital and died before the 8th of June according to the raw data. The data was also terribly formatted, and includes one patient who left hospital on the non-existent date of 31/06/2020.”

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

    3. Boges

      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. 

    4. Shady

      Shady

      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.

      I remember that in Québec, medias stated the same thing; we have +100% rise in young adults in ICU!

      The number really went from 5 to 10 under the age of 40 in intensive care.

      By the way, since older people are vaccinated, they are much less likely to go to ICU, which definitely brings their numbers down proportionally.

      From the link:

      It shouldn't be the people that are believing disinformation that we should be angry at.

      It should be the small group of people who are spreading disinformation and making lies fact.

      What's the difference?  People who don't take the vaccine because of disinformation are also spreading that disinformation.  

      As sad as it is, it will be those who accept disinformation who will suffer the most from Covid, or whatever other diseases will come in the future.

      Vaccine passport! 

      You'd hope with a 70%+ Fully vaccination rate, versus 50% in the US. AND 30% and under in some states fuelling the spike, things won't be as bad.

      Numbers don't look so bad when you consider it on a National scale. But when you realize that a vast majority of the cases are coming from Mouth-breathing southern states with vaccination rates in the 30% range. 

      You can see why it's an issue. 

      Florida is breaking Hospitalization records.

      Boges calls noticing the tens - soon to be hundreds - of thousands of untested boarder jumpers from around the world storming in through America's southern border "xenophobia." Others think it's just noticing the obvious.

      Progressive media and covid hysterics concentrating on Florida like the CBC did in the article Boges posted is also obvious. Here's why:

      Quote

      DeSantis is running for re-election next year while eyeing a 2024 presidential bid. A central tenet of his national image among conservatives is his refusal to impose mask mandates at schools and in public or to impose restrictions on businesses. He hit that message again Tuesday, saying he will not budge.

      "We are not shutting down," DeSantis said. "We are going to have schools open. We are protecting every Floridian's job in this state. We are protecting people's small businesses. These interventions have failed time and time again throughout this pandemic, not just in the United States but abroad. They have not stopped the spread, particularly with delta."

       

      They don't tell you that Florida is one of, the most  affected by the Biden regime's open border policies. Note, the new Biden order isn't just letting the untested, unmasked through, they're putting them on planes and buses then shipping them around the states where their votes will be needed. Florida is one of the most popular destinations. 

      Also the illegals are jammed into tight expanses throughout their journey. Those are super-spreader situations. 

      And if say a sudden surge of those infected coming in from Haiti, West Africa, Honduras etc. turns up on a chart you can bet Boges or the CBC will be telling you about it. They just won't be telling you who they are.

      And they love to tell you stories of sudden infection numbers or how some Prog doctor they found sees patients being packed in the hallway but they won't show you none-scary graphs like active cases in Florida.

      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.

    3. Boges

      Boges

      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. 

    4. Boges

      Boges

      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.
