There are not as many deaths with the current wave. And almost none among the vaccinated. It appears the despite the name of the virus being SARS-CoV-2 the omicron variant only fairly rarely causes SARS. There are far fewer patients needing to be intubated. The next wave could be very different though.

As far as I can tell all the border crossings have now been cleared of any protesters blockades. Mostly but not completely without arrests.

They are part of both our police and military.

But that stuff wasn't in Ottawa. It was over a thousand miles away in Coutts AB. A place a lot like the front range of CO.

My all time favourite conservative voice has passed. One the best reasons for buying The National Lampoon as soon as I could every issue in the '70's. https://apnews.com/article/arts-and-entertainment-ohio-pj-orourke-8917a0ecf7df991285d4ce718aca1158

Those poor parishioners. They all say no one expected that.

Carlin fans are everywhere.

The original complaint that truckers had and that began the convoy was the removal of the exemption that essential workers including cross border truckers had at the Canada/US border. That restriction goes both ways. Neither Canada nor the US will allow non-vaccinated aliens to cross the border as before. If an un-vaxxed Canadian shows up at the border in a truck they will be allowed in but will be required to do a 14 day quarantine. If an un-vaxxed Canadian shows up to enter the US they will not be allowed entry. Trudeau only controls the Canadian part of that equation. The convoy and associated protests have become much more complicated and basically is an anti-government and especially anti-liberal government movement at it's core. I think of it as a deplorable plus libertarian plus anti-covid restrictions mashup of pissed off people.

That's what can happen when you don't pay the help.

It would I suppose. But the last time I checked they were still fresh water lakes and unlikely to be greatly affected by sea level rise.

I am confused as well. But I'm fairly sure he will clarify soon enough.

Michael Brandon Demarre of Portland? Let's go Brandon!!!!!

But it will flood with refugees first. That'll be troublesome.

Good grief, I hope not. Who would?

I didn't want to be asked for citations.

Is is just weather or is it climate change? The drought in the western US is surpassing centuries old markers. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/megadrought-climate-1.6352052

Will there be a fee for the replacement baptism, or will it be covered under warranty?

What about the poor children who may have died young not knowing they were unbaptized and now condemned to hell for eternity?

Or some such talking head? Did you "hear it through the grapevine"? Maybe a random radio show you were listening to? I'm pretty sure you didn't make it up, but you heard it somewhere and just accepted it because it confirms something you want to believe.

Well, that much is true. There does seem to be a certain disdain and mockery of the request for a citation though. As if somehow it is not reasonable.

I just checked out the performance. It seems perfectly appropriate to me that at an event like the Super Bowl the anthem should be turned into a showtune. It suits the whole American ethos.

Despite all your complaining about being called out you have still posted no evidence that wearing a mask causing respiratory diseases. You seem to be outraged that you were challenged. As in I was wrong to not just let your false news pass. What would you suggest that I do when someone in a forum like this posts something that is clearly as wrong as what you did? Why are you even here if you can't stand the heat?

And today Trudeau's cabinet invoked the Emergency Act. For the first time ever. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-explainer-1.6351504

Where did I recently read that the wheels of justice grind very slowly, but they make a fine dust?
