A Jupiter posted:Ahem it's Genuis... I do want to say at the outset, with greatest respect, that I felt at the time of your appointment and still feel that you are a completely inappropriate choice as ambassador. That's not because of your personal qualifications. It's because, as you said today, we expect our diplomatic corps to defend our interests and our values. I look at the track record with McKinsey and some of the things it was involved in, and those raise big red flags for me in terms of your position now as the representative of Canada defending our interests and our values.

Picking leaders who can't win their own seat, in a party that actually does have people who won seats, is hilariously "Green Party of Canada". I guess she was close so she has that going for her.

HappyHippo posted:I've heard from a few doctors that people are now vaccine shopping for Pfizer over Moderna (this is in ON). They had unfilled appointments so I got a Moderna yesterday even though my first shot was Pfizer. Ottawa health sent out a note this morning basically to this effect. quote:Ottawa Public Health (OPH) encourages Ottawa residents to take the first COVID-19 vaccine available for your second dose to provide earlier two-dose protection which is recommended where variants of concern are circulating. Rules haven't changed about eligibility yet though. Still need your first shot April 18th or earlier.

Bramasole on Bank was ok but they only took cash, and White Horse diner was good but you needed to drive there, and it was only good in that it was cheap diner breakfast. I still drove there a lot.

PT6A posted:Counterpoint: unlike the NDP, they clearly realize that having photos and bios on their website is important, they merely did it in a profoundly stupid way. I honestly don't know if that's better or worse. In order to have bios and photos you need candidates first. The NDP has a ways to go still. Nobody knew this election was coming so it’s totally understandable.

The issue is that presentation is important for a good chunk of voters. Now this guy may be in an unelectable riding anyway so it doesn’t matter, but it goes back to the whole thing about the NDP not seeming to want to actually win elections. He seems ok from the podcast. That green tarp behind him though, lol.

Fidelitious posted:I think this is overthinking it anyway. I think this kind of defeatist thinking is endemic to the NDP and the left in general, and creates a circular logic whereby people don’t want to invest time or effort in losers, but i also don’t care enough to volunteer my time to help break that cycle so i recognize it’s on me too.

Albino Squirrel posted:It does absolutely nothing. I think Albertans voted that way to show the rest of Canada that we're sick of not being listened to... the truth being that the rest of Canada listens quite well and thinks our opinions are bullshit. It should be remembered that Kenney, who has been an MP since 1997 (at 29) and was previously with various “taxpayer” federations, didn’t write anything. Nor has he likely ever produced anything on his own. He was part of the government that produced it though. I’m sure he understood it after someone explained it in simple words to him.

Baronjutter posted:I think there's a critical mass of people who think covid is over, or at least they're done caring or worrying about it. I'm not talking anti-vaxxers or conspiracy folks, just people who have their 2 or 3 jabs and are going back to normal after 2 years of this poo poo. They'll mostly mask up if told they have to, but otherwise expect to return to normal pre-covid life and are not willing to deal with any more lockdowns or canceled activities. I think a lot of those people are backing away from that attitude as case numbers climb back up. I played poker a few weeks ago with friends. We’re all vaxxed but we weren’t masked. I won’t do that again until numbers are back down. Like I’m doing Christmas this year, but the caveat is everyone needs to do a test the day before, in addition to everyone being 2-3 shot vaxxed. People are tired after 2 years of doing mostly the right things and want to figure out how to, if not get back to normal, at least see friends and family again in person. That might mean going back to outdoor gatherings, or masked events, or more rapid tests.

Another Bill posted:In August, they (David Fisman specifically but other members of the Ontario covid science round table too) were saying Delta would make sure 100% of people would be vaccinated or infected by Christmas.

Franks Happy Place posted:Youth hockey games are allowed but not youth hockey TOURNAMENTS, because everyone knows novel Coronavirus only spreads after the second game. Skating around with a bunch of kids with unknown vaccine status and mixed approaches to personal safety will surely go better than the hyper regulated NHL where this poo poo is spreading like wildfire. We’re at the point where both should be cancelled but tournaments are absolutely worse than one-off games. Kids and parents have time between games and congregate together.

pokeyman posted:Can I ask a possibly stupid question and obviously you don't have to answer: was the middle-of-covid kid intentional and did you consider holding off? It sounds like, in retrospect, delaying might've been better for y'all. Not answering for them, but I had a kid in the middle of covid. I have a teenager but it’s her first. My SO isn’t getting any younger, we were in a “now or maybe never” scenario, and we decided to do it now. Even if it wasn’t “never”, covid is likely lower risk than waiting a couple years and the birth complications age bring. She’s also in public sector and was able to take a lot of time off, which financially was more viable because covid led to us saving money. There is never a right time to have kids, or rather, there is always a reason to delay having a child.

Yeah my brother is at that point. He’ll do boosters if and when it’s required to participate in public life, and he’ll wear a mask, but otherwise he’s done with going any further than that. He’s a perfectly healthy mid 20s man who spent the last two years largely isolating, so I get where he’s coming from.

I think the mental health damage kids are suffering from (if they are) has more to do with the fact they're being told that even being together can be dangerous and that their parents are completely upending their lives and suffering their own mental health issues. Plus the ones old enough to understand what's going can see how little the people in charge actually care about their wellbeing. If school goes back on the 17th as planned, without a remote option, my kid will be getting a couple extra weeks of vacation.

StoicRomance posted:Kid 1 and Wife have the rona. Eight days of positive rapid tests. Kid 2 and I, more vulnerable because of the comorbidities of "being a baby" for her and "loving everything" for me, are isolating in a different part of the house. you should probably stop loving everything during the pandemic that really sucks. I'm also in a house with 4 people including a baby, and being the one without covid taking care of the baby all day by myself would be brutal. hope your wife and kid get better soon

What’s interesting is because we’re already set up for remote learning the kids don’t get a snow day, they get a “virtual classroom” day instead.

Arivia posted:not in Ontario. a lot of teachers are pissed because they were preparing for asynchronous remote learning, then the decision was made to do in person classes this week, so they had to redo all their lesson plans for in person. then last night dougie announces we're going to a remote learning school day today, but that's synchronous classes so they've had to prepare the same lesson three times in different ways, the last time with less than a day's notice. They're not doing virtual classrooms, but my kid is in ontario, and the asynchronous learning he was going to do today anyway (because teachers were prepping for a chunk of their class not to come in) is going forward as planned for everyone. e: I'm a fan of this, if he can log in to view the homework there's no reason for him not to do it no matter what the weather is like outside. He can still go outside and play once the homework is done.

Arivia posted:ah, that's good. you're in a better position to know than me reading tweets last night, thank you for the correction. That's the plan from the ottawa carleton public board at least. Different boards are different, etc. Also schools can be a bit unique as well. Every school in this board that we've attended has been pretty good, but this one in particular is really strong with communication. We were asked on Friday to let the school know if our children would be attending this week or not, so that their teachers could prep remote work for them. My expectation for this week is that even if the schools were open, transportation would be pretty dicey. There are significant shortages of bus drivers. It was easier for us to just plan for a week learning from home vs trying to figure out if we were sending him at 7am once they made the transport call. Also I don't really want him catching covid, soooooo
