I don't approve of his "being a useless neoliberal rear end in a top hat" policy, but I do agree with his "gently caress with anti-vaxxers" policy.

Vintersorg posted:CBC had a story on Macron in France basically telling plague rats to get hosed or "piss off" and to start denying services. I stand with him on that. It's their fault this thing still wreaks havoc. It’s a little bizarre seeing Europe and the US go “just get vaccinated and it’ll be fine!” And meanwhile we’re telling cancer patients that they need to delay their surgeries.

enki42 posted:Same argument IMO, all this dancing around vaccine rules seems pointless when the goal is we just want to make them mandatory. Y'know, you're right. The foremost excuse against mandatory vaccination that keeps getting thrown around is that it violates human rights, and that's not even true. Forced vaccination, as in a forced medical procedure, is against the Geneva convention, sure. But we can definitely make it illegal to not be vaccinated, or make life as miserable as can be for those who still don't want to adhere to the most basic social contract. The latter is what Macron quite openly admits he wants to do, he might as well take the last step and just make it mandatory, period. Omicron is so damned contagious that even with 100% vaccination + booster rate, it'd still overwhelm the health care network. It was strained and short on resources already beforehand, I don't know how we can get through this without the system completely crippled by doctors and nurses just quitting in droves and never coming back.

That's because Europe has varying degrees of mostly functional socialized medicine and in the USA everything is available... you just gotta pay.

2 years on of the objectively worst covid response in the country, and one of the worst in the world, I understand why Kenney won't resign because he's a soft little lad who has never worked a real job in his entire life, but I have no idea why Dr Hinshaw is still holding on making bare assertions about what the best course is without explicating her reasoning as if anyone has any confidence in her professional judgment at this point. Anyways, hospitalizations and ICU admissions spiking, open er the gently caress up

Here, for the person who was inquiring why we feel BC is loving up: https://twitter.com/j_mcelroy/status/1478875024064847875?s=21 The numbers apparently may exist? But the government doesn’t want to share them. They won’t provide them to journalists, because… well, we don’t know, cause they won’t say. And the kicker - we probably can’t get accurate numbers anyway because they won’t open new testing centers due to either the weather or they wont’t/can’t staff them. Nevermind that we found a way to successfully mass vaccinate people literally LAST YEAR. . But we’re winning! KEEP CALM AND BE KIND GOD drat IT.

Anecdotal but my friend is an ICU nurse in BC and in the last three months, every single patient she saw in the ICU with covid was unvaccinated, and out of everyone who was intubed, all of them died aside from one. Age was from 40 - 65.

The only thing that saddens me about the unvaxxed dying at this point is the hospital bed they died on and the staff who worked to save them being unavailable to treat someone else who didn’t choose to die. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Is it a controversial opinion to say that I would like China derails to be dealt with by mods? Not in the context of Canadian relationships with China, or learning from their example as applies to our own country. But derails that are literally just about China. This is the only thing that regularly happens in this thread that is frustrating for me to read. There are other places for it. Otherwise we mostly sort ourselves out IMO.

I don’t disagree but historically moderating CanPol has been best accomplished by a Canadian mod or IK. I’d rather wait on a Canadian IK who actually knows what’s up like the other national politics threads have instead of someone who isn’t Canadian coming in and tossing sixers around at a discussion of woman-bear love. e: like it seems to happen once each per new D&D mod since Helsing faded away. They start reading the forum with buttons, pop in here, sock someone with a probe for something completely anodyne and we all collectively go “BAD MOD NOT IN OUR HOUSE.” I don’t think it’s a chat crew thing or whatever it’s just chill hoser politics.

I could certainly appoint an IK for the thread if there's a particular person you all agree should do it. Or just leave it unmoderated if that's the preference.

The thread is relatively new, despite the OP being hilariously current, so, serious suggestion - just take the top x posters since we know they’re active, eliminate anyone with questionable stuff on their rap sheet within the last few months, then roll dice until you find someone willing and who the thread doesn’t immediately try to veto. There are probably a few posters we’d all be happy with as IK, especially on a trial basis, so I doubt we’re going to see a consensus. I know some people are going to say we should just use the report button, but eh. Save reports for things that need it IMO, a tedious derail doesn’t really rise to that level. If we have an IK who never has anything to do, I don’t see the harm in that.

I guess I should have restated my position from the feedback thread that the best moderation is proactive and doesn’t involve buttons at all lol. I totally agree, I don’t want to see a bunch of probes handed out either, I’m more interested in a timely response that doesn’t require escalation. And that doesn’t probe for bear jokes, I guess, that would be a bonus.
