Agreed.

Sounds to me what the protestors are doing.

Are they? Just because they have the power doesn't mean they are using it. Do you check your closet and look under your bed before you go to sleep every night?

You guys sure have your knickers in a knot. The over the top rhetoric just keeps getting more strident.

Mein Kampf makes it pretty clear how he felt about Jews.

I like BC's approach better, they are getting rid of almost all the restrictions other than keeping the mask and passport requirements. It allows businesses to get up and running and almost back to normal while still (hopefully) reducing the spread. It's interesting that most restaurants want to keep the passports but are really pleased that the occupancy requirements and restrictions on socializing have been dropped. The last thing I (or they) want to see is a huge surge in hospitalizations and have to go backwards. Of course a new variant could blow all that to smithereens.

Kids can bring it home. My 8 year old grand daughter brought it home and her dad got it. Luckily she has had her first jab and her dad had his booster so their symptoms were mild. Why should anyone have to hide in their basement because you don't want to wear a mask in public indoor places? Your idea of protecting people is locking them in their cellar and putting food outside their door. Dropping vaccine passports could indeed harm restaurants. Many vaccinated customers (the majority) might be less inclined to go our for dinner. Besides, if you fill a restaurant full of vaccinated and unvaccinated customers, who has the greatest risk of severe disease and death? Vaccine passports are protecting the unvaccinated by keeping them out of places they can become infected. It's only logical.

This is nothing new, employers have always had the right to and indeed have fired employees who have made their companies look bad. This isn't about vaccine mandates, it's about the occupation.

Bad idea. We need viable parties that can form governments. I'm hoping the Conservatives can move close enough to the centre to be a viable replacement for the Liberals rather than see them disappear, because they are really the only possible alternative.

Not true, their employers may think otherwise. Do anything that makes your employer think you have made their company look bad and you could be out of a job.

Doesn't answer the question.

Someone will have to explain to me how it is in any government's interest to freeze a bunch of granny's assets?

Of course they aren't but are you accusing the Canadian government of doing this?

Why do you think it was CSIS and you seriously don't think the CIA has no interest in Canadians? Some of the militant groups in Canada have been exposed by the CIA.

Does it really matter? What if it was a Russian, Chinese or North Korean? What if it was a Norwegian or a Greek?

So your outrage over hacking is selective. A donor's list is not banking information. If bank accounts have been compromised, that is a whole different thing.

It's very interesting that you don't want anyone to have this information. You would think people would appreciate the CBC trying to find out the real reasons for people donating, so some people aren't able to make up and try to sell reasons of their own, or the CBC make up their own reasons even. After all, they could have just speculated on why people donated instead of making an effort to find out why they really donated. Maybe all the information from wikiLeaks and other government data breaches should have been ignored and not reported because they were obtained illegally. Don't you think?

I don't have to be fine about it. I might tell them to mind their own damn business but I wouldn't blame them for trying.

How the hell do you know who wants to talk to the CBC. It's non of your business who people talk to. I'm not fine with hacking but the information is out there. The news media did not hack anyone and you can bet your ass CSIS knew about it long before the CBC. If they didn't they should be fired.

It's interesting that your source didn't report on the hacked material, it just ranted at someone else for reporting it. That's some unbiased in depth reporting. What is wrong with asking why someone donated to get an idea why people are donating, they aren't shouting their names to the world. It's called investigative reporting.

What do you want, a real dictator because I have no idea what the hell you want.

I'll help you out. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/convoy-protest-donations-data-1.6351292

They did not hack the list. The list was made public by whoever did hack it. One interesting thing that came out of it was that while slightly more money was donated by Canadians, there were more US donors than Canadians. Guess you don't want anyone to know that. You might want to read the actual CBC article and find out what it really said rather than rely on your echo chamber sources to tell you.

Balls, implementation of the act has to be presented to both houses of parliament. Government may implement it but parliament has to approve it.

The borders to begin with.
