Insider trading has been effectively decriminalized pretty much everywhere. Otherwise how would all of these politicians and oligarchs do insider trading?

Kenney took control of public sector pension funds and then used those funds to invest in oil companies. That strategy ended up losing between $2 and $4 billion.

Manitoba had Brian Pallister giving some random Alberta company millions of dollars to develop a made in Canada vaccine. Not surprisingly, it was just a big grift and nothing actually came of it.

I just got over my first covid infection since the whole thing started. I got it basically 6 weeks after getting the moderna bivalent booster as my second booster, which was sort of best-case scenario.

People don't give a gently caress anymore. walking around the grocery store and everybody is sniffling and coughing mask free.

Covid-weakened immune systems seem to be letting influenza and RSV run wild.

Hospitals are full again. the wait time at the emergency room here regularly hits 16 hours.

Smith is reportedly bringing in Trump's "vaccines are a bioweapon" guy so this whole thing should be over by april. The province i mean, the viruses will still be going strong.

I refused to listen to Bonnie and Dix about waiting for the bivalent in the fall, so my husband and I got our fourth (regular) vaccine 3 months ago.

We got our bivalents on Friday morning. By Friday evening, husband had tested positive. I did the next day. Thankfully it’s just been a lovely head cold, but I’m absolutely convinced that it would’ve been worse if I’d listened to those bozos to wait.

I absolutely do not trust anyone now to be looking out for our best interests.

Yeah but you see, the real issue with all this is that you can't get children's tylenol over the counter, don't you know.

Why would there be a shortage? Who can possibly say. Surely these are unrelated issues at play here.

I saw no less than 3 couples come in practically begging for children’s Tylenol while waiting for my shot. The pharmacist actually was giving them instructions on how to give a child’s dose with adult medicine.

It's stupid low but if we're talking Canada-wide it's not less than 1%.

It's a whopping 2.4% lol. But 7.3% have had once dose so no idea who all these parents are getting their kid one dose but not dose 2 because it's been available since loving July.

Ever since I got my kid his first dose, there has been zero communication from provincial authorities about getting a second. His daycare had a covid case, which caused me to look into it on my own and get him his second dose last weekend.

I'm willing to bet that about 95% of people think that all vaccines are at least a little bit bad for your health, but they're willing to get them if they can be convinced that the disease will affect them seriously and they're likely to contract it. Now couple that with government officials insisting for about 18 months that kids can't get covid and then that they can but it's really mild and less bad than even a cold, we have nobody wanting to vaccinate their young children.

There might be a lot of kids under 2 whose parents have used their parental leave to stay home with them and thus aren't at a high risk for contracting COVID but I have no idea.

In any case I feel bad for the kids but there's not much I can do about 2/3rds of the adults in this country being such weak willed idiots that they can't do the bear minimum of wearing a mask in retail stores and getting free vaccinations. I've done those things plus not go to bars, restaurants, large public gatherings, small indoor public gatherings (besides immediate family), etc. I can't really do anything else so to the extent that I can I'm going to try not to worry about it too much.
