  1. In SK we were under 100/day on average, now we are over 250/day. In Regina it's over 120/day (which is like, 5,500/day for Ontario). Shit's fucked and people aren't taking it seriously. All restaurants were just ordered to close today in Regina and Moose Jaw (except delivery/pickup), and private gatherings are banned...except Churches and gyms. I am supposed to shoot a small elopement/wedding in 4 weeks, including indoor preparation shots, and then the ceremony (which is just bride and groom, plus priest and maybe one or two others...but indoors). At this point, I am getting very close to saying now and providing a full refund (along with finding a replacement photographer). My own safety (and that of my wife) comes before wedding pictures. Especially since I chose to have my own wedding with just an officiant in the park last summer, no ceremony or pictures at all.
  2. I really wish the federal government had more power in this situation, because clearly a majority of the provinces are run by idiots.
  3. Another record day in Canada - 217,000 doses. That's equivalent to 2 million in the US. Also announced that Canada will get 10 million doses of J&J starting in Q2.
  4. Also while Canada isn't at the USA's level yet, it's picked up quite a bit. New record of 190k yesterday, which is equivalent to around 1.7m if it was the US.
  5. Yeah the French don't fuck around. Imagine a potential America where people had been protesting like the French for the last 150 years.
  6. So my city is the North American capital of B.1.1.7. Check this out: Part of it can be explained that we've vaccinated most people over 70 and a good chunk of people 60+, so there are less old and vulnerable people catching it...but we basically had no one under 40 in the ICU prior to B.1.1.7. It is assumed that 90%+ cases in Regina are B.1.1.7. This is going to happen to all of North America as B.1.1.7 (and the other VoC) spread. It's why restrictions shouldn't be lifted until we've reached near-herd-immunity.
  7. I just want to say that it's not "PC" to have a diverse cast that represents society. No one comments when a cast has a white, male lead, and we shouldn't comment or take exception when it's a non white male lead (especially since white men account for only something like 25-30% of the US?). Having said that, I agree that Nicholas Cage should own this. But if they are replacing him, then by all means create a diverse cast that gives representation to traditionally non-represented groups.
  8. Fine by me! This is one game that I want to be awesome at launch. Civ has been stagnating, and this looks to have some awesome innovation that could challenge it. I especially like that the end-game goal isn't conquest, it's the fame score (which can be accomplished by conquest, if you want). I love early-mid game Civ, and I despise late-game.
  9. Musk is going to attempt to launch a nuclear reactor at some point, and when it breaks up mid-launch and sprinkles uranium over sub-Saharan African, he will say "Their grandchildren will thank me for spreading the light of consciousness to the stars." And then millions will get cancer.
  10. Biden will announce new vaccine goal of 200 million shots by first 100 days in office WWW.CNN.COM President Biden will announce a new coronavirus vaccine goal of 200 million shots in arms in his first 100 days in office at his 1:15 p.m. ET news conference today, a White House official tells CNN.
  11. Supreme Court rules Ottawa's carbon tax is constitutional | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that the federal government's carbon pricing regime is constitutional. Excellent news. Whiny Conservative provincial governments attempted to overturn it.
  12. New York officials reach agreement to legalize marijuana NYPOST.COM Weed all about it! New York state lawmakers struck a deal Wednesday to legalize marijuana, legislative sources said — just hours after Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the move “essential” to
  13. The only solution is to bring back the F-14 and somehow make it even cooler. Maybe the wings have another section on them that folds back even more. Or they split vertically, like an X-Wing.
  14. "Listen, Gunther, I don't like this Hitler guy any more than you do, but we can't end the Holocaust unless we can get support from both sides of the aisle. It's just not the German way."
