This will be the recommendation and we'll see what the province does with it. My source (who is a teacher) has not heard of this yet. All of the teachers are heavily in favour of doing so though.

November 4, 20204 yr comment_488413 Sadly I can see this government doing that. Most divisions in Winnipeg are scrambling to get to Orange Level with spacing etc and then you're going to announce this? Totally fits these asshats.
November 4, 20204 yr comment_488441 I'm not a Kinew fan by any stretch of the imagination; in fact, I can't stand him. However, it's good to see him call out Friesen for the donkey that he is.
November 4, 20204 yr comment_488442 Well, the good news is my son's result came back early, and negative. Only took about 36 hours. I wonder if the backlog is clearing up. The bad news is my lie about it being "just like a Q-Tip" has been exposed, so getting him tested again if he ever needs it will be a struggle. Edited November 4, 20204 yr by Super Duper Negatron

Quote Finnish fur auctioneer Magnus Ljung, CEO of Saga Furs, was watching the Danish announcement. “It’s a shock. They will kill all mink in Denmark. They are talking about the risk of Covid-19 mutating in the mink, and going from mink to humans, and potentially affecting a future human vaccine.”

November 6, 20204 yr comment_488649 A friend's mom was in the Maples nursing home and family was told this afternoon that she has been taken ill with COVID and is not expected to survive. Soon, there will be many families touched by this plague. Pallister started off well in handling this, but the scope of the crisis has overwhelemed his and Freisen's abilities to cope. Their response so far is to attack concerned physicians- a bad move.
