BC's response was just sheer arrogance from the start propped up by an unwarranted sloppy blowjob from CNN using a Canadian health response to poo poo on Trump. It went to their heads because, apart from Yukon, they were surrounded on all sides by idiots digging their own graves with lovely health measures. Truly, BC lived up to the "mediocre but slightly better than our neighbors so long as you don't look in the closet" ideal Canada strives to embody.

Goosed it. posted:I know Pallister is terrible but has Manitoba hosed-up the basics, like masks, so willfully? I don't recall the specifics on mask mandates, but I do remember that they would always drag their heels on implementing any provincial health mandates while blaming people for not following the "suggestions".

Once we had mask mandates we had barely any enforcement in MB, including flagrant violations by the religious community that were ignored despite publicly viewable photo and video evidence.

Guest2553 posted:It sure builds confidence in our ability to effectively manage the situation when runaway effects of changing climate becomes the proximate cause for restrictions on movement and consumption. It's actually a very similar problem, in that people are going to get very frustrated when they are told they must do a bunch of piddly little poo poo that won't actually fix the problem, as the government does nothing to actually control the emissions of industrial polluters. I don't have a problem with doing my part, but I very much have a problem with being asked to do more than my part when those with the power to actually direct policy and make large-scale changes sit on their hands and shrug.

What is the causal relationship between being a worthless has-been and turning into a reactionary piece of poo poo? It seems like a bunch of washed up old musicians whose last notable work is now old enough to drink have the anti-vaxx brainworms.

Got my 2nd Pfizer. It doesn't make me feel any better because I think vaccine hesitancy in places like the US will breed a mutation that bypasses the vaccine. I think a variant pandemic will put us right back where we started in 2020 with COVID. I'm starting to wonder if Ebola was transmissible the way Covid was if people would take it more seriously.

I flew into Pearson recently and was shocked at how strict the measures were (in a good way). Separating of vaccinated and unvaccinated, and then probably checked my pre-flight test results, vaccination card, and passport like 15 times total over the course of going through customs and making my way to the UP express. This compared to the American airports I had to go to.... I mean you can't even compare them. I was frustrated at first how slow Canada was at reopening, but after seeing what's happening in the UK, I'm happy we are being slow. I would even say slower might be better? Finally, pissed off that universities are pushing for full reopening in the Fall. gently caress off and let me take my courses online.

Lol O'Toole was out in St. John's raising a big fuss over how Trudeau has divided the country and how he let Newfoundland down. Also a lot of rambling about his military service. He talked for a grand total of 13 minutes before people got bored and stopped asking him questions.

Got my second Pfizer from the northern health vax van. I've been stuck in camp near Fort St. John for weeks and figured I'd have to wait until I was home, but the vax van was open 5-8pm on a Saturday.

Well that's easy: when you're a has-been you often have a slightly elevated social media presence that nobody cares about until you act out like a child. If your uncle from Hamilton posts to twitter that he's mad about vaccines nobody cares but it's funny when somebody dunks on the "I'm too sexy" guys or the "making copies!" guy when they do the same. TLDR - don't underestimate celebrity culture, especially when everybody has a platform now

Kraftwerk posted:Got my 2nd Pfizer. The next variant is probably going to come from a poor country with no vaccines. Also isn't the whole thing with COVID that the spike protein is what makes it so transmissible but also what we're essentially vaccinated against with the mRNA vaccines?

I keep catching myself thinking "well there's drop-in clinics in the city during working hours, why aren't people taking advantage???" and remembering, yeah, that's not actually "available" for everyone.

The only people I’ve seen in BC participate in the Dr. Henry technocrat hero worship were universally work from homers with no children, or retired people whose children worked from home. These same people seemed to have an extremely limited understanding of how BC was making GBS threads the bed with contact tracing, how data was shaped to show no transmission in schools, how BC is the least transparent with its data, how no asymptomatic testing was occurring and the absolutely inexcusable reluctance to impose a mask mandate. They even seemed surprised to learn this summer that school was in fact not online and we were teaching 100% in person to students who for the majority of the year I was not allowed to ask to wear a mask in class, but instead only to “create a classroom culture of mask wearing “ (gently caress that I told the parents at the beginning of the year they would be wearing them at all times and to reach out if they had concerns and all were actually relieved).

I used to have faith, cause there was none anywhere else. Watching the updates got me through the first two months of isolation. But then they started being condescending, and then loving the numbers, and then Horgan won the majority and the mask completely fell off. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want the Liberals in charge, but I wouldn’t say no to kicking Premier Boomer in the balls either.

Agreed, and for what it's worth I wasn't trying to throw shade your way. As I recall, the science behind greenhouse gasses and their potential effect on climate was known and generally accepted in the late 19th/early 20th century so it's no more of a surprise than, saying, the western world's treatment of indigenous populations to anyone paying the scantest of attention.

Yeah, I didn't take any offense, I just wanted to be clear about why I said that. This cult of personal responsibility is bullshit, whether it's COVID or climate change or billionaire philanthropy. Some things can only be achieved through collective action and we need to stop wishing we can solve problems through enough people doing the right thing on their own. Should Jeff Bezos give more money to charity? Honestly, no. He shouldn't. Why should he be the one billionaire in the public eye who has to give away his money? Every billionaire should be forcibly divested of a huge chunk of their money, a great deal more than he's given to charity so far, whether it's some guy in the public eye who flew into space in a giant phallus or some rich rear end in a top hat I've never heard of and no one cares about. We can't rely on the moral behaviour of individuals, because it will simply never work, even if a certain number of people do actually give a poo poo and do the right thing. By not creating policy which insists people do the right thing, the government has completely failed in its most important responsibility, which is to get everyone onside to do poo poo they don't individually want to do for the common good.
