    Perfect:
  2. Yeah... that's pretty much on brand for them. Are the Canadien fans the riderfans of the NHL? Regardless... pretty classless.
  3. This looks interesting...
  4. Oh boy, from Bibi to this Bennett at least all pretense of appearing to do something while doing nothing for the Palestinians is gone. This is the new guy.

    My son does movie night with friends and cousins over discord. they all share the same voice chat and cue the movie together- it's really nice, they get to share their "Om god what the hells", "Holy what just happeneds" and other various exclamations during the movie- it seems to work.

    First... awwww ****. Secondly, at least we are figuring this covid thing out. More reason for people to get vaxxed.
  9. So... did he get suspended?
  10. Just out of curiosity, if MS hit Evans before he scored- would it still be charging?

    First off... I was no fan of the Selinger government... but having the dubious distinction of have the WORST PER CAPITA RATE OF NEW COVID INFECTIONS, NORTH OF THE MEXICAN BORDER is something I feel the previous government would have avoided- thats just me. Also, those changes, sorry cuts, to the ICU bed numbers and closing emergency rooms across the city... wouldn't have happened and would not have exacerbated the strain on our healthcare system... /rant. Idiot needs to keep his mouth shut.

    These strict measures were implemented on May21st, so I guess we will see if they are successful or not in the next week... until then (more like three weeks from now)- our healthcare system will still be crushed...
  13. This needs to put in your first post to update the link (which is now gone)

    If not just for appealing to ones own humanity, there are other reasons we should be helping poorer countries get their population vaccinated: - If we want things to actually go back to normal, we need to stop VoCs, these are the largest threat to us getting back to normal. VoCs originate easily in a population where the virus burns through the population unrestricted. Vaccinated populace helps prevent the rise in VoCs. -The IMF projects that a $50 billion investment into vaccine roll out in the poorest of countries, would generate returns of $9 trillion in the global economy. -lastly, it's the right thing to do.
  15. So... You're mom is on these boards as Maternal Optometrist? ...I'll see myself out.

    Going to ask this question in good faith: how so?

    This is a really interesting read, thought I would share. They basically reversed-engineered the voter suppression through disinformation and division tactic used by Russia. Solid read.

    I think Sputnik V will be giving Sinopharm a run for it's money

    We also need to ramp up and be part of some coalition to help vaccine the poorest countries... I mean check this map: Until we get the world taken care of... there are going to be constant threats of new variants and immense loss of life.

    Solid article by Bartley: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-third-wave-analysis-1.6043632 "They dithered with half-measures, ignoring the science and evidence all around them, and eroded public trust while squandering a month-long cushion at the start of the third wave," Souradet Shaw, a social epidemiologist at the University of Manitoba, said in a series of tweets on May 20 after Manitoba Shared Health began to transfer ICU patients out of province. "Instead of developing a clearly articulated and evidence-based strategy to tackle predictable surges, they impugned critics; misled the public through distortions, obscuring data, and accountability, and blamed everyone but themselves."
