I would prefer to look at data that has a bigger sample size, particularly deaths and ICU admittance as Manitoba numbers are pretty small all around and small sample sizes tend to skew results when looking at a short time span. Do you think the 50% deaths of vaccinated people in Manitoba somehow negates the much larger sample sizes that are showing much different results in other places? Can we look at Canada as a whole? Don’t you think that would be more reliable than looking at a small province with small numbers?

Why do you only look at Manitoba figures?

Do you think it’s correct to say that “the right” hates social programs and would rather see people go broke if they can’t pay for their own healthcare?

You disagree with vaccinations in general, or just COVID vaccinations?

Do you think this is a problem?

Why would you think those are requirements for Bond?

Why would you think we need herd immunity from something that’s a hoax?

Do you think that your description of the goals of residential schools are generally different than the ones historians might give? Did you know it was illegal at the time for indigenous children to attend any other school than residential schools?

Did they take children away from other people to try and eliminate their culture as well? Or was this a particular policy in relation to the indigenous population?

The earliest Andean (Incan) civilization was 3200 BCE. If humans used the land bridge, or some other means, to come from what is now Asia 25-50,000 years ago, then the Andean civilizations easily fall within that timeframe. Chinese? Why would you think to call humans that lived in what is now called Siberia, Chinese?

If children are taken from homes without the parent’s consent by government policy, do you think the government should have to compensate the victims?

How long after the resurrection was the New Testament written? Did the eyewitnesses write the accounts in the bible, or is it that the bible passages mention there were eye witnesses?

Why are you contending that we need natural herd immunity when you believe the virus is a hoax? If it was a hoax, why do we need any immunity?

Did you know that the use of that term is considered offensive and not in general use any longer? Did you also know that it comes from a completely outdated and debunked classification system that contended that there are three “races” of humans? Or maybe you agree with classifying humans into Mongoloid, Caucasoid and Negroid, like they did in the 1700s when the term originated?

What do you think is overblown about it? Does the fact that the legislation was passed by a unanimous vote in the House of Commons give you pause to think that, despite what you think are Trudeau’s motivations, that it is a good idea? https://www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en/votes/43/2/18

Who is “they”? Please be specific if you can.

Nope. But, am I the one claiming that this is a good idea, or is it you? If you’re claiming t’s a pathway to herd immunity, shouldn’t you at least know how many people would have to die from the virus before this were to occur? Maybe you could compare that method to vaccines and see which one has the most casualties to properly assess it? Food for thought…

you have? I remember you saying “we have to look within ourselves” or some such…. That sounds more like subjective opinion than the truth, doesn’t it?

Does this work for opinions on legal procedures? Or should it be based on something like legal expertise?

What are you basing this opinion on?

A judge ruled that police violated protestor’s rights. Isn’t that what judges do? Look at the evidence and pass judgement on legal questions? What makes you think that this judge didn’t have jurisdiction to do that?

Do you often have trouble following along with conversations you’re having? It seems you completely missed the point and reversed the question that I asked.

How many dead in Canada would it have taken to get to “natural herd immunity”?

Really? That’s your answer to a question about ways to curb the virus? It would be self evident if only I weren’t so stupid? I find that response lazy.

What other methods to stop the spread of the virus would you like to see that aren’t happening now?
