A page late, but if Canadian officials don’t like the Chinese government bringing up our historical and continued atrocities, they could actually fix things.

That similie doesn't hold up, because if legislators let people into the country and they were murdering 25 people a day or legalized a drug that killing so many people that morgue were literally overflowing with bodies.... well I think I'd like to see some criminal investigations into those circumstances as well.

Actually, it does hold up, because there is death toll right now due to drug use that a conservative could easily blame on liberal drug policies.

I think expert witnesses in this theoretical trial would be able to point to mountains of research that shows liberal drug policies actually save lives. Whereas in a theoretical COVID negligence trial there would be mountains of evidence showing that the late spring policies of the Alberta government went against scientific consensus at the time when they declared COVID to be beaten and Alberta 'Open For Business' and 'Best Summer Ever' etc These kinds of grounded in reality expert opinions matter in a court of law.

From the Research Co "exit poll"quote:Practically half of Canadian voters (49%) say they voted for the candidate in their riding who had the best chance of defeating a party they disliked, even if the candidate they voted for was not their first preference. I knew that strategic voting was a thing, but goddamn ~50%? Holy poo poo the system is broken.

Stats are great because you can spend years earning postgraduate degrees in the finer points of survey design, interpretation of results, identifying and correcting for biases, etc. and then you get a job and find out your boss’s boss already knows what they want the answer to be Saw a Globe and Mail article earlier that said 115 Canadians are still imprisoned in China, which I guess might be a transparent attempt to whip up negative sentiment about China, but still, I wouldn’t have thought it was that many people.

This isn’t America. The Canadian media is in no way trying to whip up — https://twitter.com/pnpcbc/status/1442602448946876418?s=21 Edit: I used your reasonable post as a setup for posting that tweet, but in all seriousness I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions from that prisoner stat without further context. Like how it has changed over time as relations cooled, if that number includes Hong Kong (because they can be dual citizens (not for long tho)), etc. Starks fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Sep 28, 2021 |

I wonder, in comparison, how many Chinese nationals are in prison in Canada? Like, people do dumb criminal poo poo worldwide, I would expect a certain number of my country's citizens to be imprisoned (legitimately) in any given country.

The pharmacies in Barrie have basically run out of covid vaccines after a massive late rush by people to get vaccinated. While I am glad people are getting vaccinated, why the gently caress did so many people wait so long and clog the system up again? And why is it my fault you cant find a walk in clinic at the last minute?? We had a whole loving hockey team from BC come in today looking for walk ins. e: This wouldnt be an issue if our premier was anyone but Doug loving Ford and constantly loving up the pandemic response.

I had the pleasure of stopping at a gas station in Hanna, Alberta today, where I got to overhear a clerk loudly tell a customer that being vaccinated meant you spread COVID more easily, and then she loudly told me that, "the cities are starting to to ban fully-vaccinated people from stores." Good fuckin' grief.

infernal machines posted:Wouldn't we just deport them? Not all foreign national convicts are deported, and even if they are, it's usually after they finish their sentence. I believe there are some circumstances where they can do the time in their home country but I imagine that's off the table for countries where we don't even have an extradition treaty. Couldn't find the number of Chinese prisoners in Canada but apparently there are around 1000 Canadians in U.S. jails. Starks fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Sep 28, 2021 |

I swear some interactions with small town Alberta are just pranks. Like how can a 5 minute interaction so consistently summarize a town. It's just gotta be a prank and some sort of montage they play for themselves.
