Because it is not that simple. It won't work like it did last spring - lockdown fatigue is a tough steer to wrestle down.

He was running out of manure disturbing topics...

The same fear that there is about other vaccines. The anti - Vax movement has influenced a significant portion of the population.

There is a segment of the population that delves into the conspiracies. But most people are just frustrated with the inconsistency of the regulations. If own a restaurant, you better get every little thing right, or you will be closed. If you run a Big Box that sells groceries, you can stay open no matter what. People working in ICUs are commenting on the high number of travel related cases. Curbing that should be a bigger priority than shutting things down at home.

There are certain trends that can already be seen: 1. Very few younger people had severe outcomes. Even a 50% increase is not going to be significant. 2. This will be mitigated further by vaccination. 3. Many people are still being vigilant, which will also help with keeping things stable.

Most of them still won't get sick and die.

I guess I felt the need to expound on some of their usual BS.

My point is clear, yours, not so much.

The education review will erode some of the PC's rural support. Ridings like Gimli, Selkirk, and Interlake have gone NDP in the past - there is plenty of animosity swirling right now, as it appears that smaller schools were not even considered. And if they were, the information is not forthcoming. The whole things is looking more and more like just one huge swipe at the metro divisions and the teachers' union.

Sure you can ask for more - Desjarlais certainly showed more than that,

It would be great to find another Patty Neufeld type - starts at guard but can provide depth at the tackle position.

Are there any good OTs available?

And no one will kill those 1 billion animals for meat either...

This is all very interesting. We're not saying the CWB was completely ineffective, or that it wasn't more effective in earlier decades, we just outlined some reasons why it had gradually declined.

You can't really believe that's the only reason the CWB was unsustainable. Do I like how it was done? No. Was it inevitable? Yes.

Yes, Harper dealt with the Wheat Board the same way he dealt with most everything else... But the writing was on the well, no matter who pulled the plug. How is an entity going to continue helping the small farmer when said entity is not adapting to major shifts in the market? More people eating gluten free = less wheat Demand for canola = less wheat Growing corn and soy with increasing success on the prairies = less wheat A demand for high quality oats = less wheat The CWB was beyond pros and cons - it was rapidly becoming irrelevant.

Yes. Then we'll be asked to stay home again...while people keep flying...

So, when exactly did Canada emulate U.S. Covid policy? When did we follow their lead?

Leaving should be fine as long as people don't linger.

Yeah, obstruction penalties in the NHL are like holding in the CFL - a few token calls to pretend they care...

I doubt this has much to do with people living in Regina. Those variants were brought in via flights, which is exactly what is happening in MB.

Wheat is just one crop - multiple factors have led to the demise of small farms, including corporate buyers showing up on doorsteps with offers that farmers just can't refuse.

Oil is clearly trending down and will stay there. But anyone who complains about grain prices is just not paying attention. There are good prices available if you watch the markets and forward contract. And, you can get specialty contracts for crops like high quality oats and malting barley. And all that has nothing to do with ANY government. That was a reasonably good government that also won ridings out here in the rural West. But I am never sure if they can be classified as Liberals - Liberals don't normally slash billions in transfer payments.

They will continue to win their irrelevant prairie landslides.

Then I guess the Jets are who they are. If you can't defend effectively against elite talent, you are going to have a very short playoff run.
