Well this news update is pretty pointless. Copping showed people who to use an app, a few complaints about the evils of vaccination passports compared to stong beautiful restrictions exemptions program, and several rants about equalization.

Mr. Apollo posted:Ontario is pushing back on signing the federal daycare program (of course). And however-much they get no doubt the end product will be severely underfunded while the bulk of the money is quietly diverted to "balancing the budget", like that $2.7 bn. in federal COVID funding was.

I'm taking a flight on Air Canada, anyone know what their rules are for garment bags? I'm looking to take my suit in a garment bag as a carry on, but the website information about that is hopelessly vague.

I'm looking to take my suit in a garment bag as a carry on, but the website information about that is hopelessly vague. I never had an issue taking it as a carry-on when it's folded over. However, they usually won't hang it up for you if you're travelling economy IME, so I just tuck it into the overhead. I've been lucky a few times though because it was an empty flight or a small plane. Starks fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Oct 13, 2021 |

Small businesses want to prove that they will not be beaten by mega-corporations in the fight to decide who is the biggest piece of garbage out there. It's just more proof that surely at least 1/4 of small businesses don't deserve to survive. The only way they're making it now is by exploiting their workers and the endless help given to them by the government because we MUST SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS.

I received a survey via text yesterday from Ipsos-Reid. It was all about how much do I trust Elections Canada do accurately provide election results, do I believe the results, do I think democracy is a good idea, and the last question was the best: do I think that "sometimes elections results should be overruled when it is in the best interest of the country"

Especially when it's far from clear what the risks are. They have no idea how much COVID is in schools, and there's conflicting / developing information on the long term effects of covid infection in children. How she thinks she has any credibility at this point when her role has been transparently running interference for the politically driven public health decisions made by the UCP. Just say it's a tragedy and a reminder we need to do everything we can to stop the spread, talking about the kids pre existing conditions is just minimizing the fact a 14 year old died because of the uncontrolled spread of covid in this province

Rockstar Massacre posted:that dipshit councillor they quote accurately represents the views of at least a third of everyone on Alberta on homeless/addiction care. And that's not to let others off the hook. Similar opinions have strong representation in both Vancouver and Ottawa as well. When I lived in Vancouver I was within easy walking distance to Chinatown and the DTES and here in Ottawa it's about the same to Shepherds of Good Hope etc. We're lucky that our councillor is actually not a dipshit because there are people that would rather the homeless be dead than have to walk past them. We still hear news about our former building in Vancouver and apparently it's gotten quite bad with petty crime, drug use, etc. But these assholes apparently can't draw a line between social program funding issues and other challenges caused by covid to the increase in community problems. They think that these organizations cause these problems as opposed to mitigating them, so they want them to be shut down. Homeless people don't magically disappear when you shut down their services. They will resort to whatever they have to to survive, until they die. Because they were killed by NIMBYs.

Lol, Bert Chen, the guy who opened up the call for a leadership review against Erin O'Toole got suspended from the Conservative council following complaints so now he's taken to Facebook to say that the party has been silencing O'Toole's critics. Also Dougie moved up his announcement regarding restrictions easing to tomorrow. First time in a month since we've seen the blob. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ford-to-speak-this-friday-on-plans-to-move-ontario-out-of-step-3-1.5622432 Article posted:As part of that “phased approach” sources say the government is looking at potentially relaxing mandatory proof of vaccination rules, as long as the province’s pandemic picture continues to improve. Of course the massive loving concern is that there's rumours he's going to make the vaccine passport system voluntary rather than mandatory, which seems like it could be a big problem to anyone with more than two brain cells.

quote:The new plan will include guidance about travel and more specifics about when the province will transition the proof-of-vaccination program from mandatory to voluntary, said the official. "Ontarians will have a better idea of what they can expect in the months ahead as we continue to confront COVID-19," the official added. I assume they won't make it voluntary right away. Maybe when numbers continue to go down and it's endemic.

I am 99% certain he is doing this so that he can make the claim come election time that he got Ontario back to how it was before the pandemic. e: I knew he got an approval bump from the pandemic but I totally forgot he had Wynne levels of approval ratings. Maybe reminding people how much they hated you in the past isnt the best political strategy.

Enforcing what, the vaccine passport, or the enforcement of the vaccine passport mandate? Every place I've been to here in Toronto since the mandate has come into effect has checked my vaccination status for indoor dining. I can't say whether bylaw officers are doing enforcement blitzes to ensure that's the case though.
