huh?  I believe MLK was an American....  

I don't recall Victoria day being celebrated in the US.

You're taking my angst for a January Stat Holiday seriously :-/

538 had a 30% chance of Trump winning.....    it fell Trump's way...   I don't see why that's an "epic fail"...

Right - I mean, most of the tossup states were a real tossup.  The balance of probability had her winning.  It didn't go that way.

In fact 538 got a lot of flak from some other ("more liberal") poll aggregators that were giving Clinton a >99% win chance, saying that the 538 models with "fat tails" were unrealistic. 538 had it closer to the mark than most. 

And you're a corrosive troll embarrassing debate skills. 

You just dismissed the great job gains as no-big deal because people were told they can't work.

Then you pivot to the catastrophe of having to have those Stay-At-Home orders in the first place.

These numbers would indicate the economy is headed for a rebound. 

Sure the hospitality industry is seeing some serious losses, but other industries have seen a boon time because of the pandemic. 

There not actual job gains.  Provinces have been in lockdown for two months.  It’s businesses bringing back laid off employees.  You have no idea what you’re taking about as usual.  And to compare to to the united states makes zero sense.  They’re not going to have the same job numbers this quarter because most of their economy hasn’t been locked down, hence those jobs are already been added to the economy.  You’re an economic illiterate.

If they're not economic gains then the previous losses aren't actually losses either. 

It's good news because it's an indication that many of these jobs aren't permanently lost, which is what your caustic post indicated. 

Canada unemployment rate = 10.2%.....U.S is 8.4%.

Wow, that's almost unbelievable.  

I'm a JT cultist? LOL! I've never voted for the Liberals in my life. 

68,000 were due to the lockdowns. 

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. 

No Canada isn’t doing quite well. You’re completely detached from reality.  At least you’re not blaming O’Toole! ?

We appear to be behind all of the EU and a lot of other places.

Covid-19 vaccine tracker: View vaccinations by country (cnn.com)

I believe you're looking at the column which says '1st dose'. But in terms of fully vaccinated we're well behind.

Why wouldn't you believe it ?   So little confidence in Trudeau/Canada ?

Too much confidence in the US, it has been swimming in vaccines since the new year and still can't get its act together

Canada has yet to produce an approved covid vaccine.

They should’ve had a penalty kick too in the second half.

If you don't have to wear equipment and skates to play it is a girls sport. Thats right i went there.. 

Do Shin pads and cleats count? 

Did you read the link? 

Canada's percentage of first dose vaccination is 8.58%. 

That's within half a percentage behind Germany, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain and Sweden. 

It's better than France, Netherlands, Poland and Belgium (Where we get the Pfizer Vaccine). 

The countries, that aren't tiny nations, where we're far behind are the UK, the US, Israel, Finalnd and Serbia. 

Canada's ranking remains very low despite its government bragging about having the largest vaccine "portfolio" in the solar system.   Maybe don't brag so much next time or take COVAX doses from third world nations.

And the US remains very high when it comes to COVID-19 deaths per capita.

...also that super-creepy movie 'The Pyx' with Karen Black.

Especially if they go unvaxxed and get covid 

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.

That's 100% what it is. 

But why are rural areas always so Conservative? They vote against their interests. 

Because would rather die, than go with the progressives.  

Life Free or Die. . . Wait that's New Hamshire. They're number 17. Not very Urban, but Blue. 

Why "thankfully"?  

Most places I know of you can't let a 15 year old drive a car because they're not yet old enough to be responsible. But going to squid's point, which is very pertinent, it was a war. It was an invasion. Why should it be illegal if you invade my country and try to kill me, if I kill you first?

That's the ridiculously one sided law that kept Khadr behind bars for 10 years.

que dijiste?  **puff puff**

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!

I’ve read that the odds are between 1 and 5000-10000.

Boges has not listened yet but already believes everything.

He got his synopsis from Don Lemon's soundbites.

Sanjay had a tough time answering as to why CNN lied about the medication Rogan was prescribed.  He agreed with Joe that it shouldn’t have been characterized that way.

It's the period in the South before Slavery was abolished. 

That's what I heard as well, but not what I understand to be technically accurate. It means the period before a war, any war.

"Occurring or existing before a war, especially (but not exclusively) the US civil war."

Even if that's true. A Country Music band would be focusing on the Antebellum South. 

I've never heard the term Antebellum Germany. 

I heard the announcement when it was made around 1pm. I haven't been on-line until now. What kind of response do you want? Do you expect everyone to be hanging around their keyboard ready to type the instant something becomes news?

Yes, I am very disappointed in this action. It shows cowardice on the part of Trudeau in not tackling the difficult problems. Going into it one could see it would be a big challenge, but to make such a bold promise and then fail completely only 25% into his mandate is an act of cowardice.

Yes I expect you to drop what you're doing. 

Obviously we've got a part-time liberal on our hands.  Shame, Impact, shame.  I think Stevie Wonder wrote a song about this sad afflication...oh wait, that was Part Time Lover.  Never mind.

But seriously, it's obvious JT has employed a strategy of dropping some of his promises now, hoping that his supporters will forget about his broken promises come voting day.  Which means that he's taking counsel from the old guard, who haven't been able to do anything original since Chretien/Martin.  

I'm telling you, you're looking a one termer.
