Under Harper, Canadian scientists were silenced about climate change. Phone calls were monitored. Scientists were threatened, ruined. They would be followed around by government minders. It's pretty hosed up.

Harper created a whole bureaucracy for it. Also concerned media in general.

Books and journals were literally burned and thrown into the garbage during his reign.

Just read an article that in B.C there's a mandate to use roundup on forests to make sure aspens don't make up more than 30% of forests because they're not as profitable for logging as evergreens. Turns out aspen trees are natural firestops though!

That is mindbogglingly stupid on several fronts. Enjoy your non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer next forest fire, citizens.

lmao so yesterday canada reported only 148 new cases, down from 226 the day before

sounds good, right? no more exponential growth!

except those numbers are because british columbia, the most affected province, just didn't report numbers while everywhere else reported steady or increasing growth

so basically what im saying is get ready for a big jump in numbers today as BC reports two days' numbers at once

ffs

they need to commit to a shelter-in-place policy right now. I've been really disappointed in the provincial gov'ts response with everything and limiting themselves to half-hearted reactive measures when a citizen reports on our population being stupid assholes.

Yeah it was all white people doing the rioting, and the premise is that with the influx of Asian immigrants the whites in the city have lost their "tribe" and have nothing else to invest in besides sports, so to build up the hope and have it dashed had a psychological impact on all the stupid white loving idiots who think their identity hinges on being totally homogenous with their surroundings

I was right in the middle of the 2011 riots and witnessed myself that multiple ethnicities taking part in the looting and everything was being smashed indiscriminately. I recall lots of university and college students were saying they were going to riot and loot if Vancouver lost to Boston, days prior to the final match, because like others have said: we have a history of it (the 1994 riot). It had nothing to do with race.

The hockey riot happened because Canadians are extremely atomised and don't have any concept of community whatsoever, so if someone decides we want to have a riot just to have something to do and they find an excuse based on hockey or whatever, nobody has any good argument why they shouldn't. Why shouldn't they go out and smash some windows? Vancouver has never done anything for any of them, what do they care what happens to it?

They weren't even mad, they're just dumb and had nothing else to do. The most Canadian possible riot.

Actually one thing I do remember is, when the aftermath had settled, people were trying to blame "outside agitators" from Surrey and Burnaby for the riots happening and that it absolutely could not have been high and mighty "Vancouver City, Best Place On Earth(TM)." Now I see that they're doing the same thing with the protesters in the cop riots.

Reality Protester posted:

has anyone been able to get vaxxed yet? americans can schedule shots at their pharmacy and there's little eligiblity checking. my paramedic friend got one through work but that seems like a big goop to jump through.

I got vaxxed with Pfizer yesterday and I'm scheduled for my next one in.... July :(. I work with older at-risk adults and the vaccine roll out for us employees has been awful. Technically I was eligible for a vaccine in February but the website and person on the phone said that it was the responsibility of the employers to get us registered for vaccines. I haven't heard a single thing from work, and the BC CDC's list of who is eligible is vague at best, so I got my doctor to get me a permission letter since I have a compromised immune system. The person I talked to over the phone also had little idea about the eligibility of me since the requirements are changing from day-to-day. Even though I had my doctor's letter and my employee card where I worked to prove, I got harassed by one of the directors there for being the a young person in the line-up for getting vaccines. There was another young person there, but they targeted me for god knows what reason and was implying that I shouldn't be there. I pointed the other young person out to the director and asked "why aren't you harassing her?" to no reply, and they let me through to one of the vaccine stations.

I've had problems with the handling of the entire pandemic and the health authorities from the very beginning of the pandemic to now. I'm 100% disappointed and frustrated with the handling of every step by the B.C. government and the Fraser Health authority region, from the precautions and no mask mandates, refusing to close schools, hosed-up requirements of having to have more than one physical symptom to get Covid tested, and the vaccine roll out itself. It's absolutely dysfunctional and I don't feel like I'm being hyperbolic when I say that anyone out there with a compromised immune system is a sitting duck for this virus in the province. At the very least, everyone living in the Fraser Health region are getting sub-par service. I can not imagine what the people in Interior and Northern Health are going through, but I imagine its worse.

I got vaccinated yesterday because my work is in a hospital. I'm wfh right now but they sent out a message saying all staff yet to be vaccinated were eligible so I jumped. Nobody even checked my ID or asked about my eligibility at the vaccine site.

Everything that is happening in BC is so hosed right now. 10% test positivity (including those industry tests) in the province yesterday and Bonnie Henry and Adrian Dix have nothing to say about it.

Kids go back to school on Monday with no masks. Teachers should refuse to work.

Congrats to everybody for getting their shots.

How have side effects been for those who had them already? For me, I had a fever and body aches and a bit of a headache for like 6 hours later in the day after I had the AZ vaccine.

Pfizer vaccine recipient here. I had a pretty bad reaction to it for several weeks. I had a very sorry arm for two days then followed up by dizziness, headaches and bouts of dyspepsia that would come and go. I'm way better now but I'm not looking forward to the second shot too much. I just keep telling myself that the reaction is a good thing because it kicked my immune system into gear.
