I remember Chretien's refusal to let Canada be dragged into the war was one of the key events of my political awakening:

Meanwhile my second dose will be 4 months after my first.

Sums up the dumb-fuck rules our regressive provincial government has imposed:

Are they still using an engine from 2004?

I meant that the actual icon version is so small that it's hard to tell what it is, especially with the black background!

Hey, still a donut.

Need a more visible version, I can't even tell what it is!

My manager just let my team know that there is a case in our office, and we are all to work from home today until the contact tracing is done. I have been working from home since the fall, so no big deal for me, but I know people weren't taking it as seriously as they should. It is almost certainly a B.1.1.7 case (90% in my city are, now), and assuming it was one of the people who was in the office last week (75% chance), then most of our entire IT team will be forced to self-isolate for two weeks, leaving our entire school division without in-person support of any kind. I hope it was worth it to sit in cubicles in the same room without masks because you were six feet apart!

Yeah the variants are spreading here fast and people aren't taking it seriously. What worked to barely keep cases under control before is now too weak to even mildly contain the variants.

The doom and gloom anti-Liberal people online have been awfully silent lately about Canada's accelerating rollout. 5th in the G20 and days away from rising to 3rd.

Do we even know what kind of game this is?

lol. But in all seriousness, it is sad how many people who make that much money have just expanded their lifestyle as they've earned more. Lifestyle inflation is a serious issue. Just because you make $50k more one year, that doesn't mean you should increase your spending by the same amount. Living within your means is a recipe for long-term success. I get the desire to keep up with the neighbours and live a good life...but if a family making a combined $60k has nothing left over at the end of the month and so does a family making $400k...I have little sympathy for the latter when or if they take a tumble.

In the new areas of my city you have pockets of $600k single-family homes, but generally you can't go more than a few blocks without hitting a large apartment or condo complex ($200k condos). It's good urban design to have mixed-income housing fairly close to each other. But you need local stores, too, not just grocery store desert suburbs.

I don't think there is any credible scenario where the Japanese defeat America in WWII (in terms of conquest, especially). They didn't even have a real atomic program, so nuclear weapons weren't coming.

Or institute police insurance, just like medical malpractice insurance. If police become uninsurable due to claims against them, then cities can't hire them if they want to keep the insurance. Or, they become personally liable if they are uninsurable.

Conservative Party members vote down resolution to enshrine reality of climate change BETA.CTVNEWS.CA Efforts to get official Conservative Party policy to recognize that climate change is real have failed. Lololol The Conservative Party is truly trying to stay in opposition!

"Knowing things has never helped anyone" is a conservative slogan, basically.

The choice is either half the pop gets 95% protection by July, or everyone gets 50 to 80% protection by July. The latter makes much more sense when supply is limited.

Now watch as the same suburban hog people talk out of both sides of their mouths: Biden is not the President, it's just a hologram Biden fell up the stairs, showing he is senile

Two things would make society better, in this area: No more unpaid internships at any level of society. Interns are paid at the same rate as entry-level staff in that position Maximum 40 hours per week in any profession, no exceptions outside of life-or-death emergencies "Oh, but what about doctors?" you might ask. Hire more fucking doctors to take the other shifts.

90% of the work done in biotech for big pharma is done at the university level. Much of the time, the bulk of the money even comes from government. The entire industry should really be nationalized (along with anything tangentially related to health services). Just have government give money to research schools to keep developing new drugs. "But then we won't get the right drugs for the right diseases," you might say. Oh, like now, when big pharma dumps 10x as much money into hair loss and erection treatment as they do for life-saving treatments with a smaller potential profit?
