So you are saying that BC is handling this better ? I have children in BC, my wife has family in BC. They aren't doing things any better than Alberta or Ontario and not as well as Manitoba. It's just that it's the entitled youth there instead of the religious right in Manitoba. It's not a political party thing. It's people in power terrified of losing power. So terrified they will risk lives instead of upsetting their base. I'm not happy with our current PC leader in MB but our current federal PM. absolutly botched the vaccines and their procurement.The left blaming the right is just as bad as the right blaming the left. This should have nothing to do with politics.

Actually not entirely true, if you go back and look at the history, we lost manufacturing capacity during Mulroney's regime and the Chretien regime's decision to offer short patent protection than other nations also had an huge impact. Harper deserves some of the blame but so does every other regime going back to the late 80s.

We may have been in a slightly better place as there would have been tighter restrictions. Every time we saw the numbers go down it was BOOM!! let's reopen as Kenney was under so much pressure to do so & we did. We then watched the numbers go up. Every freaking time. Notley has a tight grip on her party. There'd have been no discord from disgruntled MLA's. All schools would be closed now if she was in power. Twenty five per cent of all schools in Alberta have outbreaks. Think of that, twenty five per cent! Yet elementary schools stay open. As I said before, glad I'm on an extended medical leave & not driving a school bus anymore this school year.

I live across from a vaccination pop clinic here in Steinbach and the parking lot is full everyday, with people waiting in line to get in.

Oh wow, I didn't even consider how Harper would have governed during this pandemic... oh wow, the muzzling of scientists alone... geez...

I'll say better... But it's a low bar. I feel like traditionally compassionate parties.... Progressives... Handle these things better than Conservatives who value money above all else. I thank Christ every single day (ironically) that we have a Liberal federal government during this thing rather than a Con, which wouldn't give a **** about bailout money and killed as many people as necessary in order to save businesses.

Yes gotta love the big slow guys who are long past their best b4 date headshoting guys half his size. **** the league honestly.. dirty leafs get away with everything

My father & a couple of his brothers came back from the war alcoholics. Yeah if it wasn't for my Mother our family would have split apart. She held it together. Even though my Dad would disappear for days & we didn't know if he was alive or dead. When I was little, I remember the arguments they had & how she would threaten to leave him & how freaked out I used to get when I heard that. I worried about that a lot as that was said all the time. As I got into my teenage years it didn't bother me anymore. I used to disrespect my father any chance I could. I'd always throw his alcoholism in his face when he tried to discipline me. For example, when I was in grade 11, I had a few drinks & came home from a party at about 4 am. My dad said that was unacceptable & not to do it again. I just looked at him & said, "You mean like you do all the time?" He had nothing to say & just left the room. I just smirked & laughed to myself thinking how clever I was. I did that to him a lot as a teen acting out my frustrations. I was angry & I have carried that anger with me my entire life although I deal with it better than I did when I was younger. Some of you here have experienced first hand that anger & for that I'm sorry. I am trying to do better. Thank God, I never became a violent partner in my marriage of 36 years. I've never laid a finger on my wife or had the thought ever crossed my mind. For which I'm eternally grateful having grown up in that looney tunes house of mine. Things could have gone bad in my life but they never did.

In Saskatoon yesterday about a hundred demonstrators held a "Children's Festival" (that's what they claimed it was) even though it obviously was an anti mask event. These morons exposed their kids to Covid as no one wore masks. Kids had games & science experiments although the 1 science fact that Covid can spread to all ages was overlooked. Saskatoon cops did nothing. No tickets given out although they said they might lay charges later. No bylaw officers there to hand out tickets. They said in a statement that they wanted to strike a balance between the right to demonstrate & the need for restrictions. Which is all a bunch of hogwash & they know it. I used to be pro Cops on everything. Now, I'm all for defunding the Police & throwing some of these useless overpaid cops out of work. They don't do anything anyway. They can all be security guards as far as I'm concerned. Just a waste of my tax dollars & yours.

I have plenty of clouds to yell at today & all of the "snowflakes" coming down.

So I've vented my frustration on the lockdowns in the past, and I keep changing my mind back and forth and then back again. My best friends dad has gotten covid. Early 60s. The man is attached to a breathing mask and was almost transferred to the IICU. Been in the hospital for 10 days. Sure hits different when somebody you care for is in the hospital. So I suppose, if this means the end of my small business I hope it means were saving lives, like those of my friends father.

Trevor Whitman cornered two nasty fighters last night

one opinion I've had since he entered the league - Joe Thornton is a giant piece of ****. Who picks on a guy half their size? Joe Thornton. Man I was wishing Buff could have come out of retirement for that one game, and as Joe is cross-checking Ehlers, Buff step in and pound him right into the ground. That would have been sweet.

Thank you. It is about time someone said this.

Governments have the right to order you to go to France Live in a trench up to your knees in fetid water, surrounded by dead comrades and horses and crawling with millions of rats while constantly being pounded by artillery . Then climb out of that muck hole and run straight at a machine gun. But apparently in the mind of some they can't make you wear a mask or get a little prick in the arm. My great uncle that died like that, and my other great uncle that lived like that at 14 years old would have something to say to them. As would my uncle who burned to death in a bomber 25 years later. Yet we have all these people who think wearing a mask to to big of a sacrifice to make. It makes me sick.

And Perfetti had 3 points. I don’t want to talk about the Jets.... Too pissed off.

Right?? I mean he's the reason we don't have vaccine manufacturing facilities in Canada... Was too expensive and we'll never need it. Oi. Vey. Absolutely terrifying.

Some very rich people have way too much time on their hands.

And today people ***** about having to wear masks as if their lives are ruined...

What is it going to take for Pallister to smarten up and institute more restrictions- 300 new cases and a dozen deaths per day? Is he taking advice from Premiers Ford and Kenney?

My Dad & six uncles fought in WW2. My Mom didn't see my father for nearly 5 years. My oldest brother was born when he was away. I never heard my Mother bitching or complaining ever about having to be a single Mom in a World War not knowing if my Dad would ever return. They put up with shortages, rationing & life was not easy. I can't imagine the stress (that lasted for years) these women were under at the time. These alt right conservatives & entitled snowflakes today crying about a conspiracy with vaccines & how their rights have been taken away forced to wear masks with restrictions can go **** off. Oh yeah, my father was an alcoholic. A quiet man with a loving family but much preferred being drunk to being sober. Was it from the War? I don't know as it was never discussed in our house & my Dad never sought treatment but he obviously was in pain. So yes, Stickem, those soldiers carried a heavy load.

There is some truth to blaming Manitobans. We have our fair share of those who either ignore isolation warnings as fake or believe God will protect them. It doesn't take that many to spread the virus by casual contact.

You know ****'s getting stupid when people start arguing about which generation is what....how bout this. You're all idiots! I'm not though....

Listen. These people didn’t.

I’m taking time off to listen to music and watch a movie.I’ll start with the Steve Miller Band’s “Flu Like an Eagle”. Then I’ll watch “One Flu Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Fun times indeed.

The generation that routinely drove home smashed from the bar listening to the BeeGees pointing fingers at idiots with bad music. Define irony
