  1. What's your reference for that?
  2. Deaths aren't the only important metric though. Much of the push to vaccinate the population was because of a narrow time period in the pandemic. The Alpha Wave of March and April 2021. Where Hospitals were overwhelmed by people of all populations and many provinces were forced to close all non-essential businesses. It's tough to track articles from a year ago on this. But the narrative certainly was that the wave was effecting younger people.
  3. One could argue that as variants got more pathogenic, the vaccine kept that rate relatively low. Also, Canada has a, more or less, healthier population than, say the US.
  4. Yes but beginning at the beginning of the pandemic. Things have shifted at approached need to be adapted multiple times.
  5. Using stats from the beginning of the pandemic is misleading. Certainly earlier in the pandemic, a vast majority of deaths came from older people. The lockdowns were used to protect them. But Alpha, Beta and Delta variants killed much younger people. This is all hindsight. Omicron is much milder version of the virus and we're headed towards an endemic virus where the vaccine shouldn't be mandated. But that doesn't mean vaccine mandates weren't useful at a very pivotal part of this pandemic.
  6. Do you have a cite for that? You may have posted it already, but I'm not going to comb 6 pages of a thread. Both things can be true at the same time. - Young and Healthy people are way more likely to recover from COVID. - Vaxxed deaths are usually from those with compromised immune systems and advanced age. - The vaccine reduces severe illness and death amongst those that are otherwise healthy or have much more mild co-morbidities. BUT the vaccine is still overwhelmingly safe and is a good thing to have (especially during the Delta Wave) to reduce severe illness amongst the entire population.
  7. It can decrease by the type of fuels. More LNG and Hydrogen and less Coal and Oil.
  8. I know it's Twitter, but some Republicans are calling this the Hunter Biden War. How dumb can you be?

      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.

      Apparently the Ukraine has a boatload of LNG. 

      If you're reading the tea leaves. LGN is going to be a lot more lucrative in the coming decades than Oil. 

  9. The only threat he poses to Russia is to undercut their Oil and Gas supply to Europe. If you weren't paying attention, Ukraine overthrew the Putin Puppet in place of him. Being pro NATO doesn't make you a puppet Comrade.
  10. Canada has the largest Ukraine diaspora outside of Russia. Many are most certainly coming here. And welcomed too.
  11. The Russian Casualties will dwarf Ukraine's. . . If they stick to conventional warfare. I suspect Put will call for Warcrimes.
  12. The Ontario Liberal Party is suggesting the LCBO stop selling Russian Vodka. That'll Learn Em!!! ?

      I'm eager to see how an SU-35 matches up against the F-35

      Both are good machines. The F-35 enjoys a supreme tech edge though. All that integrated tracking and targeting.

      Mind you, if it comes to that...aircraft performance will be moot. We'll have other worries...like what's this fella doing somewhere in the Russian wilderness?

       

  14. Which is why no one is sending troops to Ukraine. But if Ukraine falls, then a bunch of NATO nations will find themselves with a new border with Russia. Will Article V be respected if Putin decides to invade those countries? It seems the MAGA crowd don't care. America First. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Charles-Lindbergh/Germany-and-the-America-First-movement
  15. Massive thread drift Sorry.
  16. This shows a lack of understanding of how WW2 unfolded. That pact only allowed Germany to buy time. It was a Ruse, Stalin was stupid for trusting Hitler. Also, I'm not talking about Russia. I'm talking about the annexation of nations to re-unite the "motherland". And how the West lets it happen. Will an invasion of Poland, Romania or Lithuania lead to war? It should.
  17. And now they're looking to finish to job. ?
  18. They're not bound to remove COVID restrictions just because a fringe population asks for it. 90% of Truckers are Vaxxed and most COVID restrictions are a Provincial responsibility.
  19. Is blockading a Bridge and Occupying an Urban Area with Trucks for 3 weeks a Civil Right? Asking for a friend.
  20. I'm referring to what Germany did to Austria and The Sudetenland in the late 30's. Very similar to how Russia wants to retain areas with high ethnic Russian populations.
  21. If you want to Current Events that mirror Nazi Germany look over at what Russia is doing to Ukraine.
  22. I wouldn't support it. There are Metis for a reason. FN intermarry all the time. I guess tribes have their own policy on such things.
  23. What countries are we talking about specifically. Syria and Iraq I guess? Both wars Canada largely steered clear of.
  24. Along with Skelator.
  25. Personally I think it actually creates genetic strength. Going back to the same genetic well over and over again is a bad thing. Inbreeding and such. But people will do what they do. We should embrace different racial groups and culture. The goal is not to systematically remove a racial group, it's just the byproduct of a multicultural society. Marrying within ones race isn't bad. But advocating for it because a racial group should be "protected" is bad. And I would say the same if someone in a minority racial group banned intermarriage in their family for the same reason.
