So how about that Pallister being a god drat ghoul? Oh, no, I don't know if he did anything today or justify me calling him that, just a friendly reminder for the new thread that Pallister, Premier of Manitoba, is almost definitively the worst Premier in the country, and is also a god drat ghoul.

So apparently Pallister still hasn't actually said what his plans are for reopening Manitoba. How the gently caress are we over a year into the pandemic, and over a month after poo poo had officially hit the fan for Manitoba, and he's still just kinda shrugging and going "I unno. I mean, we have ideas on what to do, but... I unno. Maybe we can open for Canada Day or something?" Also, if we had no plans on how to reopen after poo poo hit the fan, WHAT THE gently caress WAS RESTARTMB? I mean, in theory you had a plan from before! Why not just... oh, I unno... STICK TO THE PLAN YOU loving NUMBNUT. Or crib the reopening plan from *checks notes* LITERALLY ANY OTHER PROVINCE. I mean, even Doug "Denser than particularly dense osmium" Ford managed to pull SOMETHING out of his rear end.

Willatron posted:With cases still over 100 a day and nurses having just gone on strike I feel like announcing a vague, non-committal reopening plan had a lot more to do with happy distraction than actually putting a solid plan out there. Oh poo poo the nurses went on strike? About drat time. I know they're going to get a ton of flak from idiots, but nurses have really been treated like poo poo by Pallister's government ever since he came in and this was a long time coming. I hope they're able to get what they rightly deserve after all this time (as in, proper contracts, higher pay and overall better working conditions, not the other implication of "what they deserve").

I'm honestly wondering if we can quarantine Winkler until they actually get vaccinated. Sadly I don't think we can do it for the surrounding area, but what's the population of the surrounding area vs the population of Winkler itself?

Trip report after several hours after my second vaccine: Feeling fine. Felt drained when I got home, but I think that was just the high heat and my being hungry rather than the vaccine. The arm I got the shot in is slowly getting sore, but that happens every time I get a vaccine, so par for the course there.

I mean, other than Winnipeg's infection rate dropping like a rock (despite Pallister's best efforts), I'm not sure what Winnipeg did this time with the pandemic? We've been getting our shots. Blame people in Winkler-and-the-surrounding-area. Or is this more "WUHAN FLU WAS A BIOWEAPON MADE BY THE COMMUNIST CHINESE!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!1!1!1!1!!! *something something* LIBRULS!"" bullshit?

apatheticman posted:China fear-mongering, also implying that china created the lab in Wuhan and somehow Winnipeg was involved due to the work they were doing on increasing replication viruses. So here's the thing that I don't get about the whole "COVID-19 is a bioweapon" stuff. Okay, so, I'm guessing the mindset is "China made the virus in a lab with the intention to release it", but... the virus first started to spread in China, which means they... unleashed it on their own people first because... reasons? Why can't we get fun conspiracy theories like "COVID-19 was made by a non-China country to slow down China's economy, except that it's a virus and spread like a virus when every world leader is a loving moron"? I know, I know, because racism.

So Manitoba hit the second "goal" for reopening well ahead of the August Long Weekend, and Pallister... has said he's going to wait before easing restrictions again. I'm scared, he's actually doing something... sensible? During the pandemic? I mean, I know stopped clock and all that, but still... what? Who is this man and why couldn't he have been running the province sooner?

I thought it was gonna be through people killing themselves through stubbornness, but this seems even better since they won't be clogging up the ICU. Sucks for the places they're emigrating to though.  I mean, this isn't how I expected Manitoba to get our vaccine rates up, but I'll take it.

Femtosecond posted:Some real breathtaking boomer idiocy here from Hedy Fry I'll say this much about Manitoba's rollout of the vaccine: At least the second dose was just based on date, and you could sign up for your second shot the moment that they said "Everyone who got their first shot on X date or earlier can sign up for their second". None of this waiting for an email or a phone call BS.

Vintersorg posted:Someone on the r/Winnipeg sub had a link to the manual and ways to disable the dog if they end up using it on you. Spray paint, blankets, anything really to cover the front as it works on visual aids. There’s a latch under the chest you can pull to disable it. And also there’s a hard power button on the back. I wonder how long until it gets stolen and dismantled for scrap metal.

I'm just assuming at this point that the new "restrictions" are because Pallister and Roussin have been practicing their "Who could have possibly seen this coming?" expressions and want to show them off in three week's time.

Beelzebufo posted:But i feel like section 7 could be argued to apply to the medical test too. Those nasal swabs go deep. If Horwath's argument is that you can refuse vaccination on charter grounds, I don't see how you couldn't make the same argument for most of the covid tests being used. Oh, you could, and if you said "okay, we got rid of mandatory vaccines, can you please get tested now?" they would say the exact same thing about testing them for Covid.

The US still isn't recognizing mixed vaccines as "Fully vaxxed", right? Also, what's the over/under on what time CST that the election will be announced? 11 am? I need some joy in the miserable week ahead (hooray for doing mask enforcement when the province has said its up the businesses to decide that...).

I keep asking myself what the worst possible thing he could announce would be. He declares himself Premier-for-life or announces that Manitoba Hydro has been sold to whatever O&G company Kenney is in bed with, probably.
