Then they can call everyone in to catch covid from them. why do I have this sinking feeling the accelerated pace of vaccination is gonna slow somewhat once the "key demographic" has all gotten vaccinated I don't buy the Ford government going balls to the wall to make sure 25-34 year olds in Toronto get the jab

Just saw a pretty notable Toronto-based entertainment guy (Director X) try to argue that it's the vaccine passports and mandates causing the drop in Liberal support, lol https://twitter.com/iDirectorX/status/1432083204492730370?s=19 my man none of the people mad about that poo poo were ever gonna vote Liberal or anything but PPC/Conservative/not at all. The 6ixbuzz crowd isn't registered to vote for poo poo and as I said in the COVID thread - don't worry, after seeing the Ontario school reopening "plan" none of this poo poo is gonna matter in a few weeks ETA: Director X is not a "Toronto entertainment guy", he's one of the most famous music video directors of all time. And he's not a chud, but just not cynical enough about where the majority of the anti-mandate stuff is coming from. Isentropy has issued a correction as of 20:19 on Aug 30, 2021 |

Ron Paul Atreides posted:what is the Ontario plan? As useless as most of the US? It's about where I'd imagine NYS has ended up - masks required, mandatory reporting required, some trial programs for home tests for parents. The problem is that it seems even the places that tried to follow that in the US eventually fell after a week. * The post above explains some of the details better. I think "blue state with blue legislature" is the best analogy for our situation in Ontario - not sure about RoC

Taking a packed 511 streetcar to and from work where management has given up on any real mask mandate the entire holiday, but I'm going to just sit at home by myself on Christmas to stop the spread I think having to take any of the "working class bus routes" in TO (e.g. Delano Banton's 45) would very quickly change the outlooks of a lot of people ITT. Just as packed as they were pre pandemic, no one cares about distancing ETA: a lot of them have tried their hardest but these "you gotta go work your job but GO STRAIGHT HOME NO SOCIAL ACTIVITIES" lockdowns won't work and get less effective every time Isentropy has issued a correction as of 18:05 on Dec 24, 2021 |

vyelkin posted:I did an effortpost on this a long time ago but basically the French had better relations with indigenous people because their colonial position was much weaker than the English so they weren't usually able to operate from a position of superiority. In isolated incidents where they were in positions of power, and in colonies where they were more numerous, the French were just as violent and oppressive as the English were. So the general answer is: yes, but not as a result of their colonial project being in any way more intentionally humane Yeah consider how they treated Algeria where their position was far far more secure and easier to reinforce

Duck Rodgers posted:What about a platform of not throwing out the clothes after one use? Is that a bridge too far See that's doable. But one look at the energy mix of Ontario and any "anti-nuclear" policy seems to be very dangerous and risky. The fact we have such a high baseload of power in Ontario is why we can manage the heat waves without the energy price spiking like it does in the US or having rolling brownouts

Okay. So let's assume plants are closed. What's to stop us from ending up like Germany? Because things like air conditioning (and in places like NS/NB heat load) consume a chunk of baseload energy and replacing them with pretty turbines won't cut it. For reference AC alone consumed 22 GW by itself It seems like you'd decomission the plants then immediately have to like fire up gas plants or import from QC or NYS because rolling brown outs during the first heat wave...

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:to me, the funny thing with nuclear is that back in the 60s ontario, and other provinces to a lesser extent, decided that nuclear was a good way to meet at least part of their growing energy demand. and as a result a program to develop a reactor design that could be built with the limited heavy industry available in the country was setup. and it did design a working reactor, which was built quite a few times, and which has had, as far as i know, a pretty good safety and uptime record over the past 50 years. and which accounts for like a quarter of ontario's energy needs today We have a SMR program but that's not anywhere on the scale of CANDU
