The Toronto Star, Canada's left-wing paper (and second-largest paper) has been sold for pennies to right-wing racist chuds.

 

Canada effectively has only right-wing papers now.

how could we let this happen

She's the head for the Center of American Politics. Someone relatively inconsequential that Bernie world is absolutely fucking obsessed with in ways that always show all of their ass, mostly because "who?" is the most common reaction. They trade dunks on her amongst themselves for points and treating people well has never been a hallmark of the "oh but I just want to give you healthcare" crowd.

There’s so many people ironically saying shit like “well we saved grandma so it was worth it.” Like um well... yes? If you can reduce the casualties of a pandemic that’s killed almost 100,000 of your countrymen SO FAR, uh yes it certainly is worth it?

Maybe he’s ill. He did recently have a heart attack and he’s almost 80. That’s about the age when people really start slowing down in my experience. 

Pretty cool!

I don’t understand you people. I’ve experienced 100 Fahrenheit probably a handful of times in my life and its miserable.

There is little reason to have limited travel from China early on...because China was lying about the virus. If nations knew back in December what the CCP knew then, I feel pretty certain travel from China would have been greatly curtailed in most countries.

Now China knew everything about the virus in December? Ok then.

So Beto was not widely criticized here for running for POTUS after losing his Senate election?

He was, but I don't see what's so inconsistent with that and not wanting Stacey Abrams, who also lost her election for statewide office, to be a VP candidate. Unless people actually said "The only thing Beto should do is spend the next few years organizing the vote, and he'd be a terrific candidate for president in the future." As I recall, the suggestion was he should have tried running for senate again.

The reason global hunger has decreased as significantly as it has is not due to local farmers.  

I don’t really think that has anything to do with what his overall point. There’s enough resiliency in the food system that even if a few of Tyson’s  plants go out of commission, no one has to go hungry. I doubt that, for example, Tyson raises all the pigs or cows that eventually get processed at their factories.

I would like to know what type of gun was used, and how he got it, whether it was already owned legally, recently bought legally, or if he got it illegally. 

Given that he apparently put a lot of forethought into this, I would bet they were legally purchased. Quite possibly an AR-15 because he wanted to pretend to be a LEO.  AR-15’s are in the restricted category which means you need a restricted license (not very hard to get), you can’t use for hunting and can only transport directly from your home to a licensed gun range (but if you’re going to go on a murder spree I doubt you care about that). 
 

Honestly, the best case scenario (for gun enthusiasts anyway) is that he DID use an AR-15 or similarly scary looking rifle. In that case, it’s possible the Liberals ban AR-15’s along with a few other similar rifles and stop there. But if the guy used, say a semi-auto shotgun (which are considered non-restricted — still require a possession license but not subject to the same restrictions, can be used for hunting etc) I could see us ending up with laws similar to Australia.

I'm going to be honest:  one of the first places I wanted to visit after this quarantine was over was either a casino or a strip club.  But then I realized those are probably the two worst places to visit during a pandemic, lol.

 

So now...I have no idea what I would do.  Jot that it matters, since we're all stuck for at least two more weeks, and probably longer.

I just wanna visit my barber tbh.

We haven’t tested anywhere near the amount of people to say “we definitely know the path of the virus” Right now only people who show symptoms are getting tests. We don’t know how many asymptomatic carriers are out there or how many folks have had it and are carrying the antibodies. We don’t know. Until there’s widespread testing, we won’t know how widespread this thing is or how many people have been exposed to it or when...  again this isn’t me saying this. It’s the doctors and scientists 

What scientists? 

I sold about 25% of my ETF’s yesterday. I’ll reinvest later when the price is lower maybe.

I guess we don't get locusts here. Can they be controlled with insecticide. 

So it'll be 4-3 assuming Karofsky wins? How often is a judge up for re-election on that court?

Mike Rowe seems like a nice guy at least from watching dirty jobs.

Interestingly I just watched a video about Mike "safety third" Rowe about an hour ago: 

He's a right wing ghoul. All you really gotta know about him is he thinks that safety first is a bad policy -- he literally says (in a clip in the video) that money should be number 1 and getting the job done should be number 2.

Speaking of January....  Remember this?

 

Well it was January 14th. I think no one had any idea what to think of this virus at that point. A few days after this the Chinese authorities figured out not only was human to human transmission possible, but it was actually extremely contagious, and this combined with the high case fatality rate caused China to shit bricks and lock down Wuhan. 

Or, you know cHiNa LiEs. 

According to virihealth.com, there are 19 fewer people in ICU with covid-19 than yesterday. I think that’s really good news for Canada, and therefore the world.

Isn't there a push by some Albertans to break away from Canada?

 

I know a country that wouldn't mind having their resources. 

Personally, I think wexit is just virtue signalling. Alberta isn’t gonna separate.
