I’m sure the results of the election will be the same as the last one, and no meaningful legislation (like subsidized childcare anywhere else other than Quebec) will be enacted.
Cons and NDP have done a great job of ensuring that Canada is now a 1 party system, but will remain relevant enough that the status quo is maintained.

This is the sh*t show that we call politics. Always NOT OK if others do exactly what you do.

I remember being incensed that the Republicans pushed through a SC nominee in Trump's last days and before Obama's last days, the Dems tried and Republicans called them out on it and prevented it ... I thot WTF? Until I remembered, ah ... this is politics so what you say and do at one moment doesn't mean a damn thing in the next.

Natural antibodies against Covid can still mean health issues in the long term for some Covid patients.

While some people can develop severe illness from COVID-19, others may have impacts lasting weeks or months – even if they were never hospitalized, and had a “relatively mild illness.”

That’s according to Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, who added that young people are telling of symptoms such as “fatigue – like difficulty even sitting up – profound fatigue that lasts for a long period of time.”

Meanwhile, for people who have pneumonias, longer-lasting symptoms have included difficulty breathing and shortness of breath that can “last for a long time,” she said, during Thursday's COVID-19 media briefing.

There’s also a sub-group of people, more likely men than women – although Henry said the reasons for this aren’t completely understood – who have increased clotting in their blood which can lead to clotting of the arteries around the heart as well as heart attacks, challenges with brain injury or pulmonary embolism.

Some of those effects can happen “weeks later,” said Henry.

Our health care system is going to be impacted big time from patients who have ongoing health issues.

Sure, some Covid patients may survive. It is those patients who are not killed by Covid that will put our health care system to the test.

Vaccine deniers hurl questions and insults during COVID-19 town hall

Has anyone heard of the expression "Do stupid things, win stupid prizes"?


I think that some of these anti-vaxxers who still refuse to get vaccines shots to protect themselves against Covid want a stupid prize.

Covid!

^ I love the blissful innocence and simplicity of all your posts

Cons just upset about the election call because the party is a mess and they will lose big time.

This posts summarizes how I generally feel.

I saw in Germany after all the protests they have basically thrown down a gauntlet:

All events require proof of vaccination or a negative test prior to entering and they’re not paying for tests anymore… so they’re hoping if they hit people in their pocketbook paying for tests or having a stick shoved up their stupid nose every fucking time they go to something it will make them think twice and go get the FREE vaccine.

I'm wondering if Alberta is trying to do the same thing by not requiring masks, tests or quarantining.

Alberta is just trying to be different for political reasons. If there is no big spike in cases kenny can brag about how smart he is compared to the leaders of other provinces and the federal government.

That's a huge gamble with the Delta variant.

The Canucks are considering proof of vaccination in order to allow entry into Rogers Arena.

No proof of vaccination, no watching Canucks games even if you bought game tickets. LUL

Following the news the Winnipeg Jets will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination from both staff and ticket holders for access to Canada LIfe Centre, the NHL team’s arena, the Vancouver Canucks have confirmed to Postmedia they are also considering similar measures.

“We are in continuous dialogue with the health authorities and are fully committed to the safety of our staff, players, season ticket members and fans as we prepare to welcome everyone back to Rogers Arena and Abbotsford Centre next month,” the team said in an email.

its been said a couple times in this thread. If you refuse to get vaccinated u refuse the right for healthcare if u have a covid related issue, they should really pass this as law. My wife told me that if she refuses to get the flu shot, if she gets sick, shes not entitled to sick pay. Why cant something similiar be implemented......

If you’re a healthcare worker..maybe..but that policy wouldn’t fly almost anywhere. By that logic if you get the flu shot you shouldn’t be entitled to sick days for flu-related symptoms either.

In Canada we can’t make murder charges stick for pre-mediated first degree murders, there isn’t a chance in hell anyone would touch an issue like unvaccinated can’t get health care. Won’t ever happen.

^i know its wishful thinking, and if it ever did happen, Canada would be the last country to do it.

Making a bet when your already bankrupt and won’t pay for it anyways is a good bet.

mandatory vax for car aides

Funny typo for RS.

But good. Fuck, of all the fields to work in and refuse a vaccine, health-care should not be one of them.

Lol, I was wondering what a “car aide” was...

My aunt needed care aides, she was dealing with dementia, one of her care aides (from a team of rn's) came to our home with the flu, visibly ill, we didn't notice her until they were all in my aunts room treating her.

The aide had gotten my aunt ill, it was the last push needed on her downward spiral, she ended up in the icu from that, the flu didn't go away, and became pneumonia, the doctors requested a stop treatment, saying it would be more cruel to continue treating/feeding her, it broke my mom mentally because she couldn't agree to that, my aunt passed away a month later, my mother hasn't been the same since

So, I fully support all medical staff being required to get vaccinations, it should be a given

We are talking about a guy who bet over a billion tax payer dollars that trump would win the election. Who cares if people die as long as he gets to keep his job.

Isn't Alberta fucked? They don't need to gamble they are over 500 cases a day already:rukidding:FailFish

Should also implement this for smokers, obese and those that ride motorcycles without seatbelts and helmets

Since when do motorcycles have seat belts?
