In the last 14 days the US has had about twice the number of new cases per capita as Canada.

Though I assume the US cases are mostly driven by red southern states.
I'm not sure that's a big enough discrepancy to keep the border closed but let's not pretend we have similar case rates.
Very sad. The place sets the record for all-time high temperature recorded in Canada and then is immediately wiped off the map. Jesus...Quote:

More tourists no matter where theyre from is more possible transmission vectors. All my zones have had rhe sidewalls rolled up and put in storage.Because of the variant it makes sense to have a higher percentage with the second shot i would think

exaclty ^^ , we got 2 big construction projects on the go , several mines with people flying in/out and we are right on 1 of the 2 highways narth to AK
so even tho its the middle of nowhere and there isnt many people it is people on the move which is how Covid got around cuz it can't move by itself
I'm completley vaxed but i'm not doing any expediting or shuttle driving till next year, no real vacations ... lying low
Thanks eh! So in our little hamlet Canada Day celebrations got cancelled last minute. Found out last night via email from my band mate that our gig was cancelled (we were supposed to play a few sets between noon and 4 at our Heritage Park). A bit bummed, as I'd missed playing with the lads for a few years when I moved away. Then I get back to town and 6 months later covid... Oh well.Quote:

We did some bad shit in our past and we need to learn about it and learn from it. Too bad I'll miss the big after-party and all the hot chicks, mazola, plastic sheets and cocaine though...
Even with the miracle vaccine you're scared to join society..... Yup government propoganda has worked.Quote:

You don't think government shut downs had anything to do with people overdosing??? How about the free money and nothing to do but sit around and stress out about the lies that everyone is going to die on the media?Quote:

What does JT know about struggling to pay bills and feed a family? He has no clue about the common Canadians problems or how to fix them since he has never had them. His answer for business that rely on Merican tourists is to give them loans instead of revenue. Great more debt for an industry that struggles already.
Local businesses can't hire staff since the crb pays more than what a typical frontline tourism job pays. Great idea JT, crb for votes....
Just like weed for votes.

FDR and Churchill both did decent jobs--although the Brits were smart enough to vote the racist bastard out as soon as the war was over.Quote:

(To be fair Churchill served in the military as well as being born rich.)
has there been a real increase on overdoses during the pandemic? we heard about suicide and then that didn’t happen. baby bumps? nope. i’m going to have to ask for a citation.
i did hear of one 25 year old (friends sister) in the hospital with delta after one AZ awhile ago in London.
And another sick 30yo with a variant in toronto - double vaxxed but didn’t know which.
it’s hard to say we are completely out of the woods, but i don’t know what impact this will have on the border if they stick to the criteria they mentioned.
Government already paid out 1.5billion dollars to indigenous people for residential schools a few years ago.Quote:

Yes it's tragic, but cancelling Canada Day celebrations is bullshit. Be proud of our country and the people who fought for our way of life.
The government and church need to be held accountable starting with JT apologizing for his father's part in the residential schools.

At least soldiers had to come up through the ranks so they can appreciate both giving orders and taking orders. I doubt Trump ever needed to take many orders.Quote:

The real question is what is the case rate among the US fully vaccinated? Answer: SUPER LOWQuote:

Happy (or Somber?) Canada Day!
It shows a person is willing to give up his life for his country and the people who live there.Quote:

I haven't stopped living my life, don't want it but not fucking hiding in my basement because of it. I don't need to prove anything to anyone and it would not make a difference, you have been brainwashed and I'm sure nothing is going to change your mind.Quote:

That's Remembrance Day. Canada Day is the anniversary of the day when the first three colonies joined to form the Dominion of Canada, aka the date of Confederation.Quote:

For sure, specific days for specific events but July 1 for me is to show my pride and thanks by celebrating.Quote:

If JT doesn’t want to re-open, maybe we can get Jay and Joe to just move the border north? Next Seattle Mayor can run on 54-40 or Fight!
Time to bring the brake bumps back to the bike park.
"Quebec reported 69 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday "
