Observing the provincial response to Omicron, only one image comes to mind: that of Emperor Nero playing the fiddle whilst Rome burns to the ground.

You have to keep this going Wizard Master, I want to see this applied to every topic on this forum - why stop at regions? I want to hear your thoughts as you observe World of Warcraft's response to Omicron.

Wistful of Dollars posted:Alberta's relaxed gathering restrictions will escalate Omicron risk, doctors warn I'm getting real tired of constantly feeling like I'm missing something new about omicron. Every story is the same except substituting "omicron" for "covid". We're about to get whacked by a ton of new covid cases. We know how to deal with that. It's nothing new. Hell, we even had advance notice this time. I suspect renaming covid every six months won't push meaningful numbers of people towards taking it seriously. But sure, why not, it's cheaper than handing out masks and testing people.

They’re just going to wait until everyone hates New Covid so they can makes big deal about bringing back Covid Classic to get people who quit having it last year back as consumers. Predictable marketing trick.

Also: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-floods-update-dec-15-1.6287474 Coq is gonna reopen to commercial traffic only but I can’t wait until people try to drive up to Kelowna on it anyway, and the government won’t do anything to stop it because they love shrugging their shoulders and going “oh well we can only ask nicely”. Just like their response to every single wave of Covid, which has been “gently caress around and find out”.

And when a bunch of people die and then we have to shut poo poo down anyways, they will reject the premise of any press who try to hold them accountable, and then that same press will still uncritically report on all of their other lies as fact. CTV put out a hit piece on a doctor that was criticizing them, and only after being called out revealed that their critic of the doctor was one of the war room trolls they have on government payroll. When Kenney disappeared for 3 weeks during the 4th wave, that doctor was the only one providing updates on the situation. Specifically, this troll https://twitter.com/mattwolfab/status/1400182922427043840?lang=en https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/member-o...fence-1.5539300 You can still see the original title in the tab name. "critics accuse". The tweets in the article replaced text quotes from 'critics' Powershift fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Dec 16, 2021 |

My government lawyer friend seems to think that both fisheries and environment mandates are a lot stronger language than they have in the past. Be interesting to see how the two new ministers do, both are apparently very pro-environment and conservation focused (important for fisheries as the ministry is split between conservation and exploitation) Banning the herring fishery is definitively an important move and a hopeful signal.

The exemption for "recreational" residential properties is pretty loving hilarious. Can't wait for every studio apartment in Toronto to be redesignated as a ski chalet.

This is kinda cool: http://bocadellupo.com/dialogues/ quote:Dialogues for the Vaccine Hesitant and Those Who Love Them are inspired by Boca del Lupo’s national Plays2Perform@Home project. In collaboration with Dr. Peter Centre, Boca del Lupo has produced four short scripts from Canadian playwrights to explore different root causes of vaccine hesitancy. These scripts are meant as practice dialogues for people who might find themselves in any number of difficult conversations, especially as folks gather for the holidays.

Whoa there quick draw, I think we should consider striking a committee to consult stakeholders regarding the needs of the middle class, and possibly even those looking to join it, before we go all the way to appointing a minister.
