  1. People who want to suicide fine, they need help. But when they try it in a way that can take someone with then then that's another story. Should I feel sympathy for the guy that wears a suicide bomb in a public area? If they were up in the mountains in need of rescue that would be due to some form of accident, not negligence.
  2. "Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that did not protect the protected in the first place? " Which protection isn't protecting the people who took them? Do we have to uninstall car seatbelts? Shall we do rid of all safety guardrails infrastructure? Do we still need waterhydrants in the streets? Why am I not allowed to handle anthrax? You place yourself outside society when you actively try to undermine its future and potential. Does this mean we need to force vaccination on everyone? No. Does this mean we should enact safeguards for certain activites or professions so that they do not endanger others who may or may not be so furtunate to be able to receive the vaccine? Yes. Libertarians should find themselfes an island to be alone on. I just read that on another site. Food for thought.
  3. Even if they do, their unwillingness to get vaccinated is equivalent to walking into a minefield. Its not discrimination, its sensibility. We already shell out a ton of money every year for nothing, why should we add more to the pile? If they don't want the vaccine thats fine, it's their decision. But why should I bare the brunt of their decisions? If I get into a car accident and its my fault, my insurance rates go up, not everyone else's. Practice for a real covid infection. Your body has been prepared for it if you got the vaccine.
  4. Personally I always thought of it as practice. Its like anything else, practice and you'll be ready for the real thing. Did Gretzky put on a pair of skates at age 11? Did Jordan sink his first basket at 11? Anyway, you get the point.
  5. Oh I don't think they shouldn't have access to health care, I just think anti vaxxers should pay their own hospital bills. The government offered them a vaccine at no cost(which I chipped in for) and they refused, instead costing health care more money(which I chipped in for) And then of course: https://globalnews.ca/news/8164697/covid-coronavirus-doctors-frustrated-anti-vaccination/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/anti-vaccine-protests-health-workers-toronto-1.6164215 I have as much sympathy for them as I do for Lawrence Thompson.
  6. The americans did not create that, they merely adopted the concept from ancient Greece.
  7. So lately the "let's go Brandon" and f*** Joe Biden thing has gained a lot of momentum. I was wondering if its a response to DeNiro at the Tony's or is it something else? Out of curiosity I did some digging and found a song from 2006 called "F*** George Bush", earliest I could find on someone saying F*** a president.

    Wasn't he the guy ripping off donations for the border wall?  ?

     

  9. Some of the nurses who are not yet vaccinated question those numbers, as well as the claims of scientific experts about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. For others, the issue is one of having the freedom to exercise personal choice. And some of them are already making contingency plans. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6208174 "I don't feel that this [the vaccine] was the one and only solution. I think we went for it with a complete disregard about the freedom of choice, and then imposed it," Chantale Hébert, a nurse who works at a long-term care residence in Rouyn-Noranda, Que., told CBC in an interview Tuesday. "Now we're getting sanctions just for believing in what we believe. I'm angry." If I met one of these nurses I'd be asking what other solutions they have, because frankly the lockdowns and restrictions didn't go well with many people, and neither did the masks. You can make a personal choice for yourself, but when that choice endangers everyone else around you, you have to consider if it's the right choice. Again, the government is stuck between a rock and a hard place and nothing they can do will appease everyone. Mask mandates set people off, lockdowns set people off, vaccines set people off. My advice to you is to suck it up or move to Mars. Or North Korea if you believe Kim.
  10. There have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in North Korea. In January 2020, the North Korean government began taking extensive measures to block the outbreak, including quarantine facilities, and strict travel restrictions. In March and April 2020, the Asia Times and 38 North reported that these measures seemed largely successful. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/world/how-bad-is-the-pandemic-in-north-korea-1.5491204 After saying for months that it kept the coronavirus at bay, North Korea on Wednesday came closest to admitting that its anti-virus campaign has been less than perfect. Kim Jong Un's mention of a "great crisis" created by a "crucial" failure in national pandemic measures during a ruling party meeting has triggered outside speculation about how bad the situation in North Korea really is. I guess its hard to tell the difference between someone dying of covid and someone dying of starvation in their country.
  11. https://globalnews.ca/news/8262082/ontario-covid-cases-october-13-coronavirus/ Active cases in Ontario now stand at 4,136— down from the previous day when it was at 4,369, and is down from Oct. 6 when it was at 4,579. At the peak of the second wave coronavirus surge in January, active cases hit just above 30,000. In the third wave in April, active cases topped 43,000. Things are looking much better now compared to last year.
  12. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6209420 I should say that we should pray for them but nah. I like the pic of the officers hauling him away.
  13. https://regina.ctvnews.ca/data-shows-saskatchewan-a-few-intensive-care-patients-away-from-triage-protocol-1.5621617 Apparently they are trying to send icu patients to Ontario to lighten the load. I think they should accept as many as possible without overloading themselves too.
  14. “Any business has the right to refuse anyone. That’s their business,” Ford said on a teleconference last week. “I highly highly encourage that people put on a face shield" - Doug Ford, May 2020 As long as they do not refuse service based on anything covered in the human rights act (gender, race, religion, etc..) They have every right to refuse service, and even if they did not thats no excuse for abusing workers. File a complaint like a civilized citizen. The human rights act: without being hindered in or prevented from doing so by discriminatory practices based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, disability or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered.
  15. I am, but I can't stop laughing at all the penis jokes surrounding the launch. Honestly they could market that as a sex toy. ?
  16. Best of luck to William Schatner!  

  17. Idk what the deal is with sw. Only thing I saw in the news was the solar flare thats happening right now so maybe they were just being extra careful?
  18. Sums it up pretty well. 

    Happy Thanksgiving!  

  19. The party sits at the centre-right to the right of the Canadian political spectrum, with their federal rivals, the Liberal Party of Canada, positioned to their left. The Conservatives are defined as a "big tent" party, practising "brokerage politics" and welcoming a broad variety of members. I guess they're just not hard core enough for you?
  20. That explains why Harper was pm for 9 years. Election interference I guess?
  21. They told me back in April when I got the first dose that I still had to wear a mask because I may infect someone else, so idk, old news?
  22. It has commentary and coach's corner also. Commercials just like everything else on t.v.
