Covid-19
You are failing to understand that the caught it because their precautions worked and the transmission chain ended. Really is a non story other than a reminder to everyone that we need to be careful and reinforces the need for travel restrictions.

Covid-19
Go back and watch the full presser. Was talked about immediately after announcing the changes in orders. Answered more than a couple questions including the date of they original test ( Jan 21) , test sent for sequencing as they started doing with all international tests, 5 household contacts who needed to isolate for 24 days to ensure not spread. Being the infectious disease expert you are what else should they have done? https://youtu.be/rIesIG2m31c

Live broadcast conference with Roussin and Pallister at the desks. Questions from media. How is this hiding the info? Roussin said he found out about the result approx 9pm Monday night, 11am Tuesday they are telling us. Just proves that you can do everything right and someone is still going to **** on you.

Radio Stations' Issues
I wouldn’t expect any local on air talent. I expect it will be full on remote programming with playback of previously recorded bits. Much like comedy stations on satellite but cleaner.

Radio Stations' Issues
They’ve had an evening sports show for a couple years. I don’t have the radio on I the evening so have never listened. They added two new for Jets broadcasts and promoted at least one other from part time to regular show. Playing my ” Old man card” they’ve always been my go to for sports coverage. Only time I listened to 1290 was the pregame drive on my way o a Jets game. Could barely listen to those guys shilling their Boston Pizza pregame schtik.

Puingassi First Nation is in this district and has been struggling this week. A couple other reserve on the East side of Lake Winnipeg as well. Not making light of the situation at all but it would be much easier to get them the help they needed if they had allowed the road to be built.

Game 5 : Senators
Who is this CBC play by play guy? Too busy watching the game to tell us about it. Should have made the effort to sync the CJOB feed.

Thank you for this analysis, makes a lot of sense.

I don’t know enough about Dubois to just whether I like this or not from the hockey side. From the Winnipeg side of the game this makes us look bad to fans across the league. When I talk to my friends I. The US the player they talk about is Laine. I’ve already been asked what sucks so much about Winnipeg that no one wants to stay there?

Trudeau purposefully circumvented the procedures Harpers government put in place to prevent another Adrienne Clarkson fiasco. JT hand picked Payette Andy should wear his disaster.

I took in the Cocoabeans Gluten Free entry in to Fried Chicken week and was very happy to eat some decent fried chicken for the first time in almost three years.

Looks like I am wrong and Burger Factory still exists. I must be thinking of a different place.

Haven’t they been closed for years? Been a decade or longer since I have grossed myself out with their food.

Old Burger Factory spot?

I haven’t seen the final report but some of the prelim info was ugly. Human rights violations, abuse of staff and from the sounds of it financial improprieties worse than we have seen before and we’ve seen some ridiculous ones already.

It really just shows how selfish she was. Her actions should qualify her as the most American of any of our government or political leaders. Shouldn’t have been allowed to resign, likely keeps a massive pension but should have been fired for cause.

Yes there is a deal for this vaccine to come to Canada, 20 million doses were pre-ordered in the fall pending approval. The government was criticized at the time as they were late signing on to this vaccine which was furthest along at the time.

70YR old MIL lives alone and my wife is her designated visitor, it is against the letter of the law for her to visit our house for Christmas dinner. She has no in person contact with anyone else, this is the one time I am saying F the rules and am having her for Christmas dinner. I will not be having my oldest son over at all as he lives in a multi person household. Go ahead and call the cops...

It is going to stay there unless we start testing more than 4000/day. Drive by any of the testing sites and no one is getting tested.

Covid-19
I'm sorry, I don't follow. If the disease mutates and no current vaccine gives protection what is the point of knowing who has the current vaccine? Wouldn't that be about as important as knowing who got the flu shot in the fall of 2019?

I agree, though in theory if we’ve had the vaccine should we care?

Reporting finally caught up with that is happening.
