You just show your scummy landlord the pdf and say "they sent you the money, you lying gently caress" and then everyone lives happily ever after

I probably picked exactly the wrong two weeks to ignore this thread. I managed to be out of the country right when everything started going to poo poo. At least I finally get to go outside again next week. HookShot posted:You're not technically in Canada until you've cleared customs. That's not true. If you're somewhere the Canadian government has jurisdiction over you, you're in Canada. T.C. posted:I question whether they can legally (or ethically) deny entry to a Canadian citizen if they make it here. They cannot. Canadian citizens have the right to enter Canada.

Phoned our building manager about changing my rent payments to be on the 1st and 15th instead of all on the 1st She tried to give me some BS that what the BC premiere said about no one can be evicted due to covid isn’t actually true and there’s not mandate yet I thought my eyes were going to tear out of my head my eyes rolled so hard, loving assholes

Do municipalities publish death data, generally? I'm curious how many people have died in March 2020 vs March 2019.

Do it ironically posted:Phoned our building manager about changing my rent payments to be on the 1st and 15th instead of all on the 1st This person is stupid. On the one hand you get a two week delay on some money and no drawn out conflict. On the other hand you get to argue about things and create an adversarial situation with someone who likely doesn't have the ability to pay normally and might just not pay you at all if they think the consequences are the same either way. Also, if evicting even were an option, the rental market is suddenly flooded with airbnbs and you'd likely not fill the space. Like, even from a greedy capitalism standpoint option two is dumb

just another posted:Yes, and also how many will needlessly die from other things because the hospitals are swamped. Oh that’s a great question. Hopefully someone can find the stats and we can compare mortality from year to year. Short of another major incident I’d expect any significant deviation from the past few years would be from the virus.

"While the risk of spreading misinformation is more perilous than ever, a commitment to hearing what everyday people think (regardless of how little they know about the subject) is obviously crucial. If Canada aspires to be a great nation it must follow in the footsteps of our southern neighbour and continue to champion the voices of the willfully ignorant . Thank you for your service. "

When you write words that say 'hey, less than 10% of people die, no biggie'... I honestly don't even know what to do with that.

I think also that he maybe doesn't understand that Canada wanted to close the borders to keep out infected Americans, and not vice versa.

According to my friends Michael Sona is currently stirring poo poo up on Facebook by fearmongering a huge crime wave if we don't break the lockdown in Ontario. Wish we could robocall his phone to oblivion so he stops posting.

It will be interesting to see crime statistics. I suspect the opposite will happen. (Apart from a huge increase is domestic violence, sadly.)
