You know David Williams, they started calling the variants by Greek characters specifically to prevent bigotry against countries of origin. It doesn't help if you talk about the Delta variant and then immediately follow up by calling it "the so-called Indian Variant."

Kenney doubled down today defending both his sky palace bullshit and his cancel culture comments. Because of course he did.

And naturally he said it was a business meeting and someone gave him a bottle of whisky because it was his 30th birthday. I dont care if he misspoke I like the image of him being the worst shape 30 year old ever.

It just occurred to me that the perpetrator was arrested really close to the London Islamic School and Mosque. Might just have been a coincidence, but if not, it's horrible to think it could've been much worse.

The NDP’s motion, which should come to a vote Monday, demands quick action to help Indigenous peoples. In particular, Leader Jagmeet Singh wants fast implementation of outstanding Truth and Reconciliation recommendations, ending court cases around compensation for Indigenous children in the child welfare system and residential school survivors, and more resources to search for unmarked graves.

Shithead is getting it from all sides. gently caress him.

He doesn't want the job and the focus is on him specifically. That's the whole point.

He's not going to be banished to some lovely job and to live out his days chasing kids off his lawn in the suburbs. Instead, he's going to be banished to one of his two mansions and/or his Costa Rican estate until being appointed to the chair of some committee at a PC friendly company as a tax shelter (see also "Filmon, Gary").

Meanwhile, Manitobans will line up to vote for the next PC leader, because either they're moron rurals or they're city people who are fine with having sold off health care and education for tax breaks in the amount that somebody who owns three mansions probably keeps stored in a random sock drawer in case he needs to buy a banana.

Ed Tubb says that delta variant sequences in Ontario have actually dropped recently, which is great news. I was honestly concerned we were in the valley between the vaccine assisted decline of alpha and the surge of delta. Delta is harder to identify because it has to be genome sequenced rather than the usual test.

I think stage 1 will be fine if they stick to the 3 week internal just to be safe, but I bet they rush it. There is an absolute mob of people who want to dine in.

The tweet says one has been privatized, but the article says there are RFPs out for the three parks, so it's still in the proposal stage. There is an official opposition in Manitoba isn't there? You'd expect someone to have made mention of selling off provincial lands before it passed legislature.

I honestly wouldn't mind if the entire provincial park system was nationalized so they could be protected from vulture capitalist Premiers and only under threat from vulture capitalist feds.

That would just give the federal government opportunity to make an efficiency argument and shut down half of them because now they have too many for some reason.

Whose in control of crown lands? Is that the province? I know they make rules for it, but I'm not sure if they have unrestricted access to develop it.

To be fair, it's hard keeping track of all the poo poo the Cons have done here - they are definitely speed running to get as much poo poo passed as possible before getting voted out in 2023.

Three RFPs were put out and one has been finalized, St. Ambroise Beach is now Surfside Park and the entrance fee has doubled. The opposition does not need to approve the sale of parks.

The maintenance of the parks costs hardworking Manitobans money and I don't give a gently caress I go to Costa Rica instead anyway is therefore inefficient.
